Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has already been answered two questions, only been playing two days. Both questions relate to navigating with a friend so if there are any tutorials or howtos you can suggest also to answering the questions that would be great.


1. I'm playing in a private group with a friend of mine, and what has happened is he gets pulled out and attacked by someone, how can I turn around and find the right spot to disengage the drive and drop out where he is and being attacked to help? I thought the unknown radio signals were what I would need to look for but I dropped out at one and it was a different area. Am I on the right thing and just jumped out at the wrong radio source or is there something I'm missing ?

2. is there a way to keep a permanent target lock on my friend and target the direction I'm travelling at the same time?

Peace guys!

There's no way i know of of having two targets at the same time, however, If your friend tells you hes been interdicted, when they are forced out of supercruise there will be a low intensity wake left behind. If you target that and drop on it, like a USS before it disappears, ( assuming its the right one) you should drop out where your friend is either running from or fighting the ship that interdicted them.

pretty much, if you select his wake you should be able to stay on top of him, however jumping between systems this way will need a frame shift wake scanner in a utility slot. However I'm only just starting playing with a friend today, It took us a while to link up, but i bought him his first Cobra, so as of tomorrow we will be starting to see how everything works as a Flight.
