Inter-System Jumping Suggestion

Aug 25, 2004 MonkRX link
Other people have been suggesting that a wormhole marker be placed where you have jumped...

Well I have a different idea...

Anyone within 1000 meters (random number, can be changed) of the warped ship will be warped with the ship.

This will allow trade covoys to easily follow each other in the same system, and also allow pirates to follow traders as long as they stay within the 1000 meters.

Ahhhh nice... but errrrm, narrrr fugedaboudit... lol, could just see what could happen in someone just warped in as u warp out?? (theyed get dragged back through too..lol) Could make for some intereting gameplay though..... Maybe there should be a *Jump Group* option for the group leaders (obvioulsy the 1000k thing would still apply, warp all group members within 1000k)

how about making it more like 100m or something like that otherwise say u DONT want to go where the other person is going... u would be pulled along with that person even if u are not a pirate or trader, that could get annoying when the stress begins with so many wormholes opening and if it was large(i know it was a random num) then people would get pulled in directions they dont want to go

edit: how about having a message pop up saying press 'y' if u want to follow "insert name here" through his/her wormhole (and as i said it should have a small radius so it does not get abused or a user does not get spammed with such messages

Dudes, we don't even know if in system warping is done by creating a mini wormhole. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that's not the explanation for it. However, I do like the idea of having a message pop up if you're within 1k of a warper that says something like "Press activate to follow <player x>"

This could be used by pirates. Chase a ship, and right when they're jumping jump away. They get sucked in with you.

Hey, I'm still waiting for Random or phase wormholes :P

only if the party that gets sucked agress to it
dont forget that the ppl in a 100m radius(or some distance) will get a message giving them the CHOICE to follow it is not mandatory.. it could get very annoying if it was mandatory
