Mechanic

Jump fatigue is not limited to capital pilots; it also affects anyone using a jump bridge.

Feel free to read up on the original fatigue implementation (2014), and subsequent iterations on jump ranges (2016) and fatigue penalty (2018).

Cooldown = Timer preventing you from jumping

Fatigue = Penalty timer used as a basis for the cooldown timer

Every time you travel using a jump mechanic this happens:

• Your current fatigue timer is taken and divided by ten. The result is compared against the distance you travelled in lightyears + 1 and whichever is greater will be your cooldown timer after the jump.
• Your current fatigue timer or at least 10 minutes is taken and multiplied by the distance you travelled in lightyears + 1. If the timer exceeds 5 hours it will be capped. This will be your new fatigue timer.

Calculation

Cooldown (minutes) = Max ( fatigue / 10, 1 + ( distance in lightyears * ( 1 - bonus ) ) )

Fatigue (minutes) = Min ( 60 * 5, Max ( fatigue, 10 ) * ( 1 + ( distance in lightyears * ( 1 - bonus ) ) ) )

Be aware that there is no benefit to waiting for fatigue to decay below 10 minutes
