There was once a book about starship operation in Traveller (I think it was from FASA, but don't blame me for that). It stated that the Jump field was generated by loading some Lanthanium conductor path, meaning that it follows always the shape of the ship's hull. Meaning also that damages to the ship's hull results in its incapability to jump because the conductor pathes required for building the jump field are interrupted.
