I've had this idea for quite a while. An addon, probably a large port one, that allows a ship to jump at a shorther range than normal like 1800 m. Since the 3000m thing is no doubt a saftey issue, the ship would take 25 to 65 percent damage depending on the range from an object. Because this could be used to jump to another sector faster not only will the ship take damage, weapons will also be disabled for a short period of time like 5 minutes. Also, the addon should have 1 ammo and refills should be 750 credits and it should onyl be avalible at research stations, like the x-1.

I think its a good idea but...5 minutes is an eternity with some one elses guns blazingg at you. maybe the weapons wouldnt work for 1 minute. I'm not sure about the damage either, maybey it could take so much energy that the battery is drained and takes twice as long to recharge? maybe it could only be used at top turbo speed?

just my opinions
