Towing a ship through the jumpgates - help!

Post by rugershooter » Fri, 27. Nov 09, 00:04

Any tips for successfully towing the mining ship through the jumpgates in teh Aldrin mission? I am finding that when I go through the gate, the mining ship I have towed across the sector does not come through the gate. Using a Hercules with one tractor beam, should I have a second tractor beam on board and operate both together for a stronger lock. No problem towing the brute of a ship across the sector.

Patience. After you go through the gate, just cruise at low speed at around 20m/s and the MMBS will eventually come through. In my case, it came through when I was 13km away from the gate. You can use SETA
