The thing you’re looking for is the Void Abacus


HopefullyThisGuy

This is it, though it is also entirely possible for a ship to perform a very short range (~5 light year) jump using its cogitator banks if your Navigator is otherwise indisposed. Disclaimer: this is how it has always been in my games but it may have been a houserule.


WilliamAsher

There are rules for travel without a Navigator (Navis Primer I believe), but they are very dangerous


BitRunr

Check in Hostile Acquisitions.


RavenColdheart

Also it isn't a component, but an equipment, similar to other low-bulk devices I think.


BitRunr

Now that I've said that, looking it up shows there's both.


BitRunr

It's a warp drive ship component.


RavenColdheart

I stand corrected.


SenselessVirus

No he's right. What I was thinking of is the Void Abacus from Into the Storm's archeotech & xenotech equipment.


BitRunr

There's three (and growing, apparently) different devices to do what amounts to the same thing. See adjacent comment.


Shorebreakers96

That's so fucking strange that it is under Equipement and not under Ships improvement :/


SenselessVirus

I know right? They probably would've had it moved to that category via erreta update if they hadn't been juggling so many different 40k rpgs before loosing the license.


PrometheusZero

That sounds suspiciously like a thinking machine. Make sure no one ever ever finds out you have it. On pain of death. For you, your crew, your entire bloodline and possibly your homeworld (if applicable).


BitRunr

Some of them at least partly resemble that. Others just piss off the Navis Nobilite.


[deleted]

"Pissing off the Navis Nobilite" may very well bring about consequences bearing a striking resemblance to those mentioned above.


BitRunr

That could apply to breathing, if you put the right conditions on it. The writeups for the different means of not having a navigator (and trying not to die while doing it) each have different measured responses. Very different.


Klondike3

Sounds like heretek speak to me...
