So, broke and broken following a ship battle, I tried to take my expensive cargo and make one jump back to a friendly sector only to find out at the jump gate that "Cannot jump. Warp drive damaged" <- or something close... this was a game late late last night.
I went back to an independent planet and didn't have funds to repair everything, but had just enough to repair the warp drive (from a list of 20 damaged things). Returned to the jump gate to only receive the same message.
Returned to the indy planet and sold off some cargo at a loss and repaired everything, fueled up, returned to the jump gate and made it through. Sold the rest of my goods at a handsome profit, so still moving forward, although half my crew ditched me at the first friendly planet.
Question: Are there other equipment quality checks at the jump gate? I'm assuming there was something else preventing me (like a 60% damaged hull, or damaged ??), but the notification only referenced the warp drive. Hope we can improve the notification or clarify the minimum requirements for jumping (aside from fuel)
