    Paxon57 got a reaction from Pathalogical Functor in Warp Drive - Add jump calculation timer and bring back Lua control   
    So You can no longer control warp drive with Lua
    Apparently it was because of emergency jump systems people made to avoid being pirated while hauling long distance and going afk and it was unfair for pirates.
    I believe the change is stupid because now it's unfair for everyone else but pirates, you have a warp drive and you can't even use it to run away?

    So here I'm suggesting my solution:
    Add jump calculation timer to warp drives.
    The timer should last like 1 minute or 90 sec, not sure how long, that time will have to be balanced.
    During jump calculation players cannot change their velocity (so cannot thrust or brake, however should be allowed to rotate), if they do the countdown will be canceled.

    Introducing that timer would make it most fair for both sides, it would give pirates a window to catch the hauler and fire on it (and that activates combat cooldown that is already in the game) and if the pirates are not able to catch the hauler in time it will jump away. And ofc make it possible to initiate that timer with Lua, you shouldn't except people to non stop sit in front of the PC during let's say 90 minute flight between planets.
