Kostura Cannon not disabling phase jump inhibitors...

from Sins Forums

Should not the retreating fleet be free to jump once the cannon hits the planet and disables the inhibitor?  As it stands, if you try to phase jump before the cannon hits the planet, it will still take you much longer to jump despite the inhibitor being disabled.

At the moment, the only work around is to initiate phase jump only AFTER the Kostura cannon hits the planet.  Perhaps this is intentional.

Hmmm... it could be justified, but it would be better if the ships were free to go.

It's not "intentional" so much as it is how the engine works. Once a jump starts there's no way to modify its charge-up duration dynamically. How long it's going to take is decided before it initiates, which is why if the PJI is disabled after you started jumping it'll have no effect.
