Wormhole Blitz Drive

"The Wormhole Blitz Drive is an enhanced drive that allows the Javelin Flagship to boost the shield penetration of its escorts for a short time before jumping."

General
The Wormhole Blitz Drive is advanced ship operations technology for the Javelin Flagship and Harvester.

It grants the flagship functionality to warp anywhere on the same sector map, carrying along a maximum of 4 escorts regardless of level. Each jump imbues the escorts with a shield bypass bonus that lasts indefinitely until they enter another map or engage in battle. When engaged in battle, the bonus duration will start to count down in the form of a circular timer and eventually disappear.

Fleets with an active jump bonus have highlighted levels in the fleet selection bar.

Advantages
The Wormhole Blitz Drive has a reduced warmup time, making it easier to catch enemies by surprise. The jump bonus can be useful if you are using fast ships such as cutters, enabling them to destroy enemy ships without having to completely deplete their shields.

Wormhole Drives are immense tools for PvE farming, enabling players to reach NPC Targets across the sector in a snap. In PvP, they also serve as a carrier of fleets which can quickly get into battle, to retreat or jump past blockades.

Disadvantages
The Wormhole Blitz Drive's jump bonus is near useless due to its short duration: by the time your ships reach the enemy, it would already have been over. Even at level III, you have a measly 20 seconds from the start of battle to close the distance in order to utilize the buff.

It also has a long build time, taking up a maximum of 5 days of your build queue.

Trivia

 * The Wormhole Blitz Drive is the first wormhole drive to feature no type tag (such as -O and -E).
