so i was thinking that a nice way to give explorers or traders a leg up would be to give them the option to carry a separate jump module, in "tow" behind your main ship.
this would sacrifice -75% mobility in exchange for +75% jump range, and would carry it's own fuel supply extension.
make it cost more than the largest possible FSD ~20m
it would appear a little like a much scaled down version of the station FSD.
as you jump in any ship with this there is void space cloud distortion extending jump time either side of the jump. you come into a system farther away from the main star by 75%, since your external FSD generates far more mass than your normal one.
future expansion possibility: increased chance to attract thargoids / increased chance of misjump
