A new form of hitchhiking

Post by Tichy »

I just accidentally discovered a nice thing. I was heading at the main station when I saw a big liner, a Tigershark... I decided to dock and see if I can sell someting.
When docked, I left the game unpaused and went to do some other things. I don't know if it was just my impression, but when I launched again, I found myself much more close to the main station. Almost in the aegis zone. :D

Yes you can hitch-hike on the liners. The only problem is that sometimes they will jump and you'll find yourself in a different system!

I once saw a liner near the witchpoint. It jumped and left a huuge witchspace cloud. I found I could shoot ships and hide behind the cloud so that when they went to attack me, they got caught in the cloud! :twisted:

If I'm reading that correctly, that wormhole will stick around for 10 days.
