Quantum Travel & Route Planning

Quantum Travel (QT) allows your ship to warp across planetary distances and star systems at superluminal speeds. It is operated entirely within NAV Mode.

Spooling & Calibration

  1. Enter NAV Mode: Hold B to enter Navigation Mode and power up your Quantum Drive.
  2. Locate Target: Aim your ship nose directly at a quantum destination marker (green icon on HUD).
  3. Automatic Spooling: Your Quantum Drive will automatically begin spooling (charging) and calibrating (aligning) once aimed at the marker.
  4. Initiate Jump: Once both indicators reach 100%, press and hold Left Mouse Button (LMB) to jump.

Using the Starmap & Setting Routes

To travel to locations obscured by planets or beyond direct sightlines, use the mobiGlas Starmap.

Route Planning Steps

  1. Open Starmap: Press F2 to open mobiGlas and go directly to the Starmap app (or press F2 as a direct shortcut).
  2. Select Destination: Double-click on a planet, moon, or space station to zoom in, then click your target.
  3. Set Route: Click Set Route at the top of the display. A blue route line will link your current position to the destination via intermediate jump points.
  4. Execute Jump Sequence: Align with the first waypoint marker (dashed blue line), wait for spooling/calibration, and hold LMB to initiate the first leg.

Quantum Obstacles & Interdiction

  • Obstructed Targets: If a destination is directly behind a planet or moon, the marker will appear dashed or red. Jump towards planet or an orbital marker (OM-1 through OM-6) first to clear the horizon, then attempt navigation via starmap again.
  • Atmospheric Suppression: You cannot spool Quantum Travel while inside low-altitude planetary atmospheres. Use NAV Mode to ascend vertically until the altitude warning clears.
  • Emergency Dropping: Hold B to exit NAV mode or press Hold X (Spacebrake) to drop out of quantum travel mid-jump.
