FE Shipyards

FE Shipyards is proud to announce that our J-fed Overdrive technique, long in development, is finally ready for practical application and delivery to you, our valued customer.

We will re-route part of your Jump circuitry, linking it to your vehicle's velocity-controller.

When full speed is set, the J-drive will engage in a limited mode, similar in effect to an injector, but silent, fluid, faster, and without the attendant fuel-waste.

We call it the O-drive.

Features

Our service includes the option to disconnect or reconnect the O-drive circuits at any time. This switch will also act as a 'reset' in case of unexpected behaviour. Go to your F4 Interface under 'Your FE Shipyards' to access the Overdrive connection switch.

Remarks

The O-drive will disengage automatically under the following conditions:

  • Upon starting Jump-drive
  • Upon docking
  • Upon entering witchspace.

Overdrive is smoothly adjustable from lowest to highest setting using your vehicle's velocity-controller. The O-drive's range begins at your vessel's top speed and can be increased to 10 times the craft's nominal maximum speed.

To disengage the O-drive, decelerate to below your vessel's normal top speed.

Examples

Cdr. Jinny Jameson of "Tianve's Tides" has just engaged her O-drive. The neophyte Sister's new GETter HUD speed readout shows her O-drive velocity at just above the nominal top speed of her Sidewinder FE.
And now Jinny has pushed her Overdrive to the limit.

Taking FE Ships as a baseline, some ascending ranges:


Gecko FE: O-drive velocity range: 212-2120.

Adder FE: O-drive velocity range: 240-2400.

Krait FE: O-drive velocity range: 267-2670.

Cobra III FE: O-drive velocity range: 267-2670.

Mamba FE: O-drive velocity range: 272-2720.

Asp II FE: O-drive velocity range: 294-2940.

Sidewinder FE: O-drive velocity range: 308-3080.

Viper II FE: O-drive velocity range: 334-3340.

Versions

  • 1.4: finally working nicely.
  • 1.3: fixed yet more.
  • 1.2: fixed a few more.
  • 1.1: fixed a few 'teething glitches'.
  • 1.0: initial (somewhat premature) release.

Download

Overdrive is available in the Equipment section of Oolite's Expansions Manager in-game.
