I know how a bailed pilot feels in space

Post by Stu Austin »

Went to the Argon Wharf in Argon Prime, landed my Discovery and went looking for a Captain to hire. Ended up on a docked ship to talk to the pilot to see where I could hire someone. Next thing I knew, the ship was taking off. I immediately jumped ship in my spacesuit and was going to fly back to the station to get to my ship. Only problem was I was caught in the slipstream and by this time I was 102km from the wharf.
The ship slowed down next to a station and I was able to slip away from it and fly to the station. Tried everything I could think of to get on the station with no luck.
Searched every command to try to get my Discovery to fly to me so I could get back onboard.
Any way to be able to get back to your ship if this happens? (don't have the teleport capability yet).

The game needs a "come pick me up in space" feature for your AI pilots.

If you have any AI pilots, select them on the map and then right click near your position.

It will fly close, and you can "request docking" as your space suit to go on board. Take over the pilot seat and fly back to your old ship.

Ya screwed though if you don`t have an ai pilot for your ship though. I had to restart because of this.

It would be nice to have some kind of rescue option.
1. Please do more on NPC civilian/uniform variety, and bio customisations, Devs.
2. Stations need sirens/warnings when enemy is close in numbers or Station in danger of destruction (in Sandbox).
Yes, for immersion. Thankyou ahead of time. (Edit: This is actually happening!!!)
