Paying the Jump Cost
When you are able to satisfy all but are not able to satisfy the you stay committed to the . On the next round do you have to pay the jump cost again, or are you considered still there so to speak? Thanks!

Re: Paying the Jump Cost
You only need to pay the cost when you first attempt to pursue the (page 11 of the rulebook).

Re: Paying the Jump Cost
Along similar lines, with regards to a greater than your rating, the rules on page 11 about paying the cost in this case state:
"Multiple jumps may be required to cover the distance."
Is that Multiple jumps on successive turns, or do you pay the cost to cover the whole all up front in one turn? (I've been assuming it's the later, but thought it prudent to double check.)

Re: Paying the Jump Cost
Hi, the whole jump cost is paid at time you choose to pursue that contract.
You then stay there until contract is completed or you abandon thst contract.

Re: Paying the Jump Cost
Thanks for the clarification. I started playing as if a single jump was a single action (and the rule states you can only take one action that phase) but quickly saw that I had to be doing it wrong. That said, it certainly shows the advantage a 2-jump ship would have over a 1-jump ship.

Re: Paying the Jump Cost
Thanks Cpt Ric and Frewfrux for asking these questions -- I had exactly the same question.
To make the jump cost abundantly clear to me...is this correct?:
My ship has a of 1 and I'm pursuing a contract with 3. When I first decide to pursue the contract, I draw one card from the top of my deck, see it's 2 , discard it, draw another card, see it's 1 , discard it, and now I'm effectively "on site". Correct? (And instead of drawing cards from my deck, I could have also used cards from my hand)
