Initial release of the WarpDrivePlugin for SEModAPI-enabled tools.

Features:

  • Uses a normal reactor to provide a "warp" drive for large ships
  • Warp lasts 2 seconds and accelerates the ship to 100x current speed (approx. 10000m/s velocity)
  • Warp speed moves the ship approximately 20,000 meters in the direction that it was travelling
  • Consumes 100kg of Uranium fuel from reactor

How To Use:

  1. Make sure you have at least 2 reactors on the large ship
  2. Make sure you have a passenger seat to sit in during the warp
  3. Rename one of the reactors to "WarpEngine". This name must be exact.
  4. Fuel up the reactor with at least 100kg of fuel
  5. Make sure this reactor is turned off
  6. Get ship up to max speed (>100m/s) and switch off inertial dampeners
  7. Get into the passenger set and open the control panel
  8. Switch on the reactor
  9. WARP!
  10. Reactor will automatically switch back off after the warp is complete
  11. Move back to the cockpit and regain control of the ship

This is a very rough and preliminary release to show proof-of-concept. This will likely be totally rebalanced in the near future but the function will still be mostly the same.
