Ever wished you where somewhere else instantly. With the Kerbin Science Foundry faster than light (FTL) drive you can! Just spin it up to create an instant reality dysfunction that might, just might transport you instantly to another point in space.
To actually end up where you want to go, instead of experiencing a permanent fatal reality dis-coherence (i.e. your ship goes puff, aka. explodes) there are a few recommendations to observe:
Place a FTL beacon where you want to go, otherwise, the FTL drive cannot get a lock on your target destination and will refuse to even spin up. Never, never, ever spin up the drive in a strong gravity field, keep far away from planets, suns, and other heavy objects. Other than that the FTL drive holds the promise to revolutionize interplanetary transfers and to take the grind out of flying vessels from one point in the Kerbol system to another.

Released on 2018-08-17
Replaced some Debug.Log statements with LogsManager.Info to reduce log spam
Replaced some extremely inefficient code to adjust a value to within a range in CreateOrbit with a simple Modulo operator
Version 0.2.1.3 for Kerbal Space Program 1.4.3
Released on 2018-05-20
Removed check for ToolbarController Fixed nullref when loading vessel in Editor More optimizations of loops, putting the Count() at the first and decrementing, eliminates the need to recalculate the count every loop Moved all calculations out of the Update() and FixedUpdate() methods into a CoRoutine
Added following functionality: Drives have a resource in the game and a value However much EC was used for the jump, that much of the additional resource would be used also. For example, if the line jumpResourceDef = ExoticMatter, 0.05
was added to the drive config and 400EC was used for the jump, then 20 Exotic Matter would also be used.
Added new field to support this: jumpResourceDef = ExoticMatter, 0.10
Added new setting for initial horizontal window position Fixed exploding the parts of the vessel in a failed jump (was getting issue with a foreach having entries removed)
Version 0.2.1.2 for Kerbal Space Program 1.4.3
Released on 2018-05-06

Target vessel is also FTL target. Can select targets using the window or Engineer Redux mod.
Optimum altitude is min altitude over current body that has 100% success provided EC supply.
Analysis window shows all beacons and their force requirements and optimal altitudes.
Uses CommunityTechTree mod (10.000sc to unlock largest drive).
Uses TweakScale mod (2x drive has 2x force but 8x mass and 8x cost).
FixedUpdate changed back to Update
OnStart changed back to Start
Calculations of the totalGeneratedforce, totalChargeRate an, totalChargeCapacity and totalChargeTime into a separate function
Added back visual message when jump not possible
Implemented code to hide Jump button when drive not spinning
Added context info in editor
Source body is changable by clicking the left/right arrows
Starting orbit is configurable with slider, going from just above the atmosphere to the edge of the SOI
Added "x" to allow the window to be closed
Changed FindAllSourceDrives to function, so it can be used both in Editor and in Flight
Added settings window
driveStopsUponVesselSwitch
autoJump = false
multipleDriveExponent = 1.4f
Hide the Execute Jump button after a jump is executed
Removed double debug.log line in LogsManager
Added code to save window position, both in Editor and in Flight (separate values)

Version 0.1.7 for Kerbal Space Program 1.2.2
Released on 2017-01-19
Added FTL Analysis window
Version 0.1.6.2 for Kerbal Space Program 1.2.2

Rebuild to remove bad files
Version 0.1.6 for Kerbal Space Program 1.2.1
Released on 2016-11-25
Fixed issues with config values not appearing properly in mod Fixed issues with stacking drives not working properly Fixed stacking scale Pre-calculated exponents to save time
Version 0.1.5 for Kerbal Space Program 1.2.1
Released on 2016-11-24
Updated stacking to be a descending exponential curve for additional drives. It is now using the formula: force * 1.4 ^ (-cnt) Where force = generated force by drive cnt = cnt of additional drive mode. So this means that the following applies to additional drives: Drive # Multiplier 2 0.714285714 3 0.510204082 4 0.364431487 5 0.260308205 6 0.185934432 7 0.132810309 8 0.094864506 9 0.067760362 10 0.048400258
Updated display of generated force and chances to take multiple drives into account
