SE Jump Drive Range Calculator
Jump drive range drops sharply with ship mass — a heavy ship with 10 drives may jump far less than a light ship with 2. Enter your configuration to find max range, jumps needed to reach a destination, and charge time.

How Jump Drive Range Works
Ships at or below 1,250,000 kg get the maximum 2,000 km range per drive (up to 35 drives).
Heavier ships: Range = 2,500 × Drives / (MassInMillionKg)
The 35-drive cap means adding more than 35 jump drives provides no additional range benefit.
Each drive stores 3 MWh and accepts max 32 MW input — full charge takes ~5.6 minutes per drive but varies with power availability.
Charge efficiency is approximately 80% — expect ~3.75 MWh power input per jump.
