Introduction
In v4 a mission (X-perimental) appears when you enter Omicron Lyrae. If you are already in OL upon updating to 4.00, or choose a OL-based game start, the mission won't appear until you exit and return to OL. This mission's reward (the Jump Drive) will greatly enhance your current travelling limitations.. but it does have its cost! The Jumpdrive take 16 seconds to charge before jump and 10 minutes cooldown between jumps. Cooldown can be reduced with Jump Coolant.

In order to craft a Jump Drive you will need to complete the following 3 mission stages:
| Mission stage | Required item | Number | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Interface Unit | 1 | May be dropped by any destroyed ships |
| Programmable Field Array | 1 | ||
| Jump Drive Components (rare) | 10 | May be dropped by destroyed capships | |
| 2 | A crafted Rare Engine | 1 | May be dropped by destroyed fighters |
| 3 | Jump Drive Coolant | 20 | Very rare (see below) |
The Mission
..will start in OL|Radient Haven|High Scholar
Jump Drive Coolant acquisition
- If lucky, it can be obtained from loot crates (may be part of "Valuable cache for sale" missions).
- A very low change of dropping from destroyed ships that is higher in the case of Khaak fighters (purple, triangular "Unknown ships").
