 The so-called '''Torus Drive''', also known as a '''flux distortion drive''' or simply a '''Jump drive''', physically changes the inertial mass of an object by projecting a gravitic field around it. This means that any vessel fitted with one can achieve an insanely higher speed than normally achievable with the system drive - depending on proximity of other gravitatinal objects (see http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=275096#p275096). The downside of this is that the ship is vulnerable to collision with asteroidal bodies that penetrate the gravitic field. The field itself is disrupted by the passage of other system drives within the field, resulting in the vessel being 'dumped' back into normal space. [[Masslock]] interferes with the operation of this drive.
