Globusdiablo and myself we discussing the idea of trying to land a sidewinder on an anaconda and then hyperspaceing to see if i could give him a lift.
what we would do is both ships drop shields while the sidewinder attempts a landing as close to the anaconda cockpit as they can get, the anaconda would then slowly throttle up until they we at full throttle.
at this point the anaconda would reactivate shields and start the jump to hyperspace, targeting a system that would be beyond the normal jump range of a sidey.
as far as i am aware this has never been tried before, chances are one of three things will happen:
- the sidewinder will skid off the moment the anaconda throttles up
the anaconda will make it into HS but the sidey wont
the game will crash killing both ships
or any combination of the three
I've got the anaconda, who wants to bring the sidewinder?
meet at Chango dock in the i bootis system at 4pm GMT if you are interested, i'll be sitting at about 7km from the station entrance waiting.
if you cant make Chango post here, if i see it in time i can always jump to you by 4.
