*Jump start is the number years which are generated after players submit their first turn. Often players' ships are confined to their homeworld(s), but not always. Jump starts only work in games with no computer players. To testbed a game with a jump start, create your race and game, give your first turn's orders, then press F12 to generate 10 years (Ctrl + F12 for 100 years, Shift + F12 for 1000 years).
