       Name: TT18                                                    [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Flight
    Summary: Try to initiate a jump into hyperspace
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * TT102 calls TT18
             * Main flight loop (Part 3 of 16) calls via hyper_snap


 Try to go through hyperspace. Called from TT102 in the main loop when the
 hyperspace countdown has finished.


 Other entry points:

   hyper_snap           Perform a hyperspace, but without using up any fuel
