A Jump Flash is a release of excess energy released when an FTL starship equipped with a jump drive leaves or enters jumpspace.
Description (Specifications)
Entry Jump Flash and Exit Jump Flash are more detectable on larger ships with larger jump drives. [1]
P. 118 Jump Entry Flash
A ship entering Jump Space emits an active flash of broad spectrum energy (detectable as Electronics and Photonics) equal to Ship Size plus Mod +4. The ship’s gravitational signature (detectable as Gravitics) vanishes from any sensors.
Entry Flash is subject to lightspeed and lasts about a minute at peak strength. It then degrades -1 every minute until it becomes undetectable.
Jump Exit Flash
A ship leaving Jump Space emits an active flash of broad spectrum energy (Electronics and Photonics) equal to Ship Size plus Mod +2 (slightly less than Entry Flash). The gravitational signature (detectable by Gravitics) appears on any suitable sensors. Exit Flash is subject to lightspeed and lasts about a minute at peak strength. It degrades -1 every minute until it becomes undetectable. [2]
