[Re-release] Long Range Scanner

Cheats for players, tools for devs! The misjump was originally a dev tool.

Misjumping was a dev tool in the original Elite game?

I doubt that original Elite supported expansions at all. So I believe that the misjump oxp aas intended to be a tool for OXP developers. Whatever is it's current status.

The deliberate misjump, yes!

Not an OXP. There are OXP's which enhance misjumps (cim's is brilliant, but there are also a range of others - see Misjump on the wiki).

Misjumps usually happen as a result of poor maintenance (along with fuel leaks), leaving one stranded in a ghastly glowing green space shrouded in fog and mist between the systems. I always presumed it was "witchspace" but that's not the way it works in game (see various OXPs such as Alnivel's rejigged Tionisla Chronicle Array, Cody's Coyote's Run & HIMSN).

You can force a misjump.

By the way, Cody is an adept practitioner of the misjump - and Switeck probably deserves a university chair in the theory!
