You can't use Torus drive in combat situations due to red alert, regardless of these distances!
The Torus drive will turn off when a new ship arrives into scanner range but you can re-engage the Torus drive until your alert level is green.
Ships over masslock range are marked with a darker yellow 'lollipop' in green alert.
Torus will turn off when there are asteroids, buoys, cargo boxes or mines on a collision course (to slow down in time and help prevent an impact).
Instructions
Do not unzip the .oxz file, just move into the AddOns folder of your Oolite installation.
