Afternoon WA time Rupert,

Drat, I was hoping that there was documentation out there somewhere.

GDW JTAS 24 1985 pp. 34-38 has the article Jumpspace written by Marc W. Miller in the Required Items p. 35 in the Power Source entry: "Jump uses large amounts of energy to rip open the barriers between normal space and jump space. Normally, only a fusion power plant can supply this energy."

On pp. 35-36 the entry for Strong Hull states "Starship hulls contain as an integral part of their structure a network of wiring which maintains the jump field around the ship."

Many years ago there was a link to a web site that did show jumps using hydrogen bubbles, unfortunately the site has disappeared.
