Post by: Titan on August 30, 2008, 05:51:16 pm: Is it posible to destroy a ship exactly as it goes into subspace?

Post by: Dark Hunter on August 30, 2008, 10:09:40 pm: Not always. I've had situations where I've had to abort the jump because the enemy lasers hitting me were screwing up the jump out cycle. Had to get out of the line of fire. If you're not flying straight the jump won't happen.

One minute, YES we've ran the blockade. Big grin fades. Ka-BOOM!!

I think they mean when the warp hole's already opened and the camera goes into external view.

Post by: Stormkeeper on September 01, 2008, 04:09:42 am: I actually died while warping out a long time ago.

Sadly, yes:

After replaying the mission several times in an effort to save the Khepri from certain destruction, I finally managed to keep it alive until the very end of the mission. It was lost with all hands when it played a game of chicken with a beam barrage while it jumped into subspace.

RIP Khepri. :(
