Can you tow ships through a jump point?

Edward FullerSenior Principal Systems Designer

No. You can tow ships through quantum jumps, but you can't tow a ship through a jump tunnel. It's a systemic thing, right? Because nothing can be in the jump tunnel that wasn't tuned to it and stays attuned to it for the entirety of the time to get to the other side. If we let you do that, you'd be towing a ship that would instantly fail.

Rick PorterDesign Director

It's what I was saying earlier. Anything that's not in your ship's zone is not considered part of your ship, so it gets booted out.

This is one of those things that happens when you develop systemically and not just create a bespoke feature for every little thing.

And if you want to take another ship through a jump tunnel or a jump point, there's other ways to do that.

Bring it inside you.

Rick PorterDesign Director

That's one way, yes.
