Curiosity really, but can anyone give me a rough figure of the jumprange of the capital class ships in ED lore?
Capital class interdictors and jump range
- Thread starter dangerzone
- Start date
I haven't the slightest clue but to venture a guess I'd first say pretty low (10ly or fewer). But then again, seeing as capital ships are government and military vessles I'd assume they have access to more advanced frame shift drives than the general public.
My best guess would be around 15ly.
Recently I've been interested in reading some of the books that are recognized cannon to the ED timeline, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

Why are you thinking so low? Bigger ships mean bigger FSDs. Stations can have a 100Ly jump range I belive.
I would thought as they are mainly made up of a massive power plant and bigger drive units that they would have a decent jump range, theory being that these are your fire fighters like paratroopers or the waffen SS panzer divisions. Pulled from one crisis point to another to tackle major breakthroughs. If you need these ships at major CZ's you would hope that they could get there relatively quick, I understand mass ect should reduce jump range but capital ships should have a massive power plant and not have to balance modules like us CMDR's.
I was basing my guesstimation off of the Corvette. I wasn't aware of the stations having a jump range.
I mean 100ly would make sense after hearing that

I love that pic error . I think I may of asked you before but did you take it and was the station moving at the time?
Edit never mind I can see from my repost it was in a newsletter.

They can be in witch space almost indefinitely so they technically do not have a jump range.
What do you mean? Cut it off at the ring then bolt the Viper to it.
Ah.. ok I see now. So instead of a trillion tons its only 500 billion tons. Utter genius.

Yup. That way you could jump twice as far, right?
