Blue Star

[Yrtalien]

My player and I are arguing about the Blue Star detailed under the ISA in Ships of the Galaxy.

One of its features is Jump Point x2

My player says he read somewhere that that means it can jump twice before it needs to refuel. I think it just means it has 2 jump engines. Can anyone clear this up for us?

Thanks

In ACTA, it can jump twice, allowing it to use hyperspace to both enter and leave a battle. No other ship can do that in the game, not even the Shadows.

I'm not sure about refuelling. On screen, what prevents a ship from jumping twice in quick succession is that the jump engines need to recharge. See "The Long Twilight Struggle", in which the Narn squadron is ambushed by the Shadows and, having just jumped into the system, can't jump out again until their engines are recharged. By that time most of the ships have been destroyed. The Blue Star presumably has enough energy capacity in its jump engines to jump twice before needing to recharge.

The BLue Star was designed to jump twice before it refuels.

Ahhh thanks for that .... can you direct me to where you got the info? My roomie and I have been trying to find it with no luck...
