The overall goal for this suggestion is to figure out a way to realize 2 goals.
1, Increase player options for more intense combat
2, fill a gap in JD system
I propose the Duel JD.
what you ask is the duel Jd?
The Duel JD is the upgraded version of your normal hyperspace drive. But think of this JD as a Engine having a NOS switch.
When you normally set your target and jump with your stock TJD, you maintain the speed of that drive from begining to the end of the jump.
So what would a Duel JD do.. and no i dont mean Duel as a Combanation of AMJD and TJD. A Duel Drive would mean that you could use your Sub light engin out put speed indicator as a booster to your speed. This system would have its drawbacks as any other system. But let me Run you through the idea of how i invision this.
-Planet EX targeted, distance 150,000 gu away
-TJD mkII Duel JD is installed, fuel [Normal limit]
-Jd engaged,
- 5,000k into the jump Duel Jd system engaged. Speed set to 15/25
- Fuel depletion increasing
- 75,k reached in 1/3 faster time
- speed set to 25/25
- now JD fuel consumption rate is 5:1 now.
- 150k distance reached in considerbly less time with major fuel depletion and JD needing minor repair for heavy usage.
Duel JDz
Tach mk2 [35k price] [Human] able to reach speeds in excess of kluth AMJ for short periods of time. Light hull class
Tach mk3 [ 75k price] [Human] able to reach speeds in excess of kluth Amj for short periods of time. Hvy hull class
AMJ still a good buy for 15k 
AMJ VX [95k price] [kluth] Able to reach speeds in excess or 2.5x AMJ for short periods of time. JD fuel usage at full burn is 15:1
hopefully this might lead to some real interesting combat.

I think it would be great if the human factions invented something better than the Tach drive, which is painfully slow to recharge, especially on a station. Something similar to the AMJD, but slightly less efficient/slower to charge (since the kluth have better technology). This will somewhat help the human factions since the rumor flying is the patch is making all tech faction specific.
