Dropping in after my wingman... I think I am missing something

[CMDR Holycow]

What is the proper/best/intended way to drop out of supercruize into normal space, after my wingman after he has succesfully interdicted somebody? Last night I was BHing with a wingman... we decided he was going to interdict, and I would drop in behind them. With the wake targeted... I sloowly made my approach. It seemingly takes FOVEVER to get there... and because there is no mass slowing you down, getting inside 1000m, while also being under 1000m/s is SUPER difficult. If I just TOUCH my throttle.. I skyrocket into the fraction of lightspeed, kind of speeds. I literally had to sit there and inch my way closer,... inch by inch by inch until I got my ready to disengage message.

The few times we tried this, by the time I dropped in, the battle was long over.

I must be missing something.

Slave you FSD to your wingman (bind a key for this and the other new wingman buttons.)

When he drops for whatever reason, as long as you are within a reasonable range you will get pulled in with him. No need to use the wakes at all.

ahh.. that sounds a LOT easier

If he's already in normal space, have him activate the Wing Beacon. You'll get pulled in automatically when you get close enough.

A trick that works for now is to drop into normal space, and jump back to SC. If you're within a few hundred Ls you should get pulled in as long as he's got a Wing Beacon and your Nav Locked to him.
