You can't use Torus drive in combat situations due to red alert, regardless of these distances!

The Torus drive will turn off when a new ship arrives into scanner range but you can re-engage the Torus drive until your alert level is green.

Ships over masslock range are marked with a darker yellow 'lollipop' in green alert.

Torus will turn off when there are asteroids, buoys, cargo boxes or mines on a collision course (to slow down in time and help prevent an impact).

Instructions

Do not unzip the .oxz file, just move into the AddOns folder of your Oolite installation.
