How about sf eats it?

Objective:
Looking for roughly 20-50 volunteers to aid in the movement of Sector 5 station.

Reason:
Sector 5 station, due to its long journey(roughly 10k+ from the nearest jumppoint), is a rough stopover point in teaching new players trade routes. As well as being very annoying when the bots camp you and you need to repair.

Requirements:
Secro Promethus or Pizza Cutter
Heavy Engine
Heavy Battery
Tow Cables
Docking Clamps

For more information please contact Dragon Maw, LoneStar, Lt. Coli or Dragos in game.

Movement to take place when sufficent volunteers have been commited.

Well crap. Good thing we evacuated it first. Now would someone with a physics degree mind hooking up the cables this time?

The station is affixed to a singularity with infinite mass but no gravity. You can't move it.

it is time we move the singularity... does anyone have that portable wormhole generator?

Steal a1k0n's ship!

Kindly ask a1k0n for admin flag on your account! (ask for it in game) Also ask him for a list of commands!

(psst, when i asked him he said "Next person who asks gets to learn what /kill does")

/me ties the cables all the way around the station and affixes both ends to the ships.
/me watches the ships break in half

The universe is expanding, so everythig is moving apart. If we tie it to something really far away then it will pull it for us.

Or get Suicidal Lemmings cookie jar to plug the singularity and release the station.

I got /killed twice by a1k0n the other day by nuking his bus, then dancing about it...

Perhaps we can just attach a cable, head to the gate and warp to 9. Attach the cable there, and the sectors' movement will pull the station in.

Then how are we gonna move SF?

In light of the fact that the wormhole to 16 (which does not have a station of its own) is just a short boost away from the station in 5, aren't you now GLAD that the station is where it is? I am!

Whistler, not one bloody bit, s15 to s16 is much easier, it doesn't involve boosting for 17k m.
May 13, 2003 Whistler link
Hmm, well you'd like it if you were Red! ;)

Let me put this lightly

If i were red i would shoot myself, in the aorta, then the jugular, then if i had the strength, the head.
