Ride the wave!
Ever seen any of those Star Trek scenes where something giant gets blown up and the Enterprise (or Defiant or Voyager or whatever the main ship is) gets blown away from the shock wave?
Ya, I think you know what I'm suggesting now. Something that makes a shock wave large enough to propel you somewhere at any speed at all, but doesn't do enough damage to kill you.
Actually, I think I've suggested this a few times in game. I forget if anyone thought anything of it or not.
But wouldn't it seriously be fun to ride a wave? There are various ways it could be introduced. Like maybe a new method of propulsion is invented, but it has to have a massive source to push the thing actually traveling. Say, a station. So you tell the station to push you, and it pushes you. Only one direction, only once, and only for a certain amount of time, but it would be awesome.
Maybe that's pushing it. Maybe it could just be something like the Ceres Station, just there for a bit because a dev decided it would be super-neat-o-cool. Maybe a hidden asteroid in some uncharted sector, just kinda sitting there for anyone to find it. Heck, you wouldn't even have to tell us. Just a little surprise for someone out there who happens to find it.
I'll be looking probably maybe actually-probably-not, so please don't disappoint me!

get many moths with concs sit still together and drop em move and boom there ya go
panis, ever heard of a conc mine?
oh man, concapults are makin a comeback!
Get like 4 or 5 people of the same nation who are liked by thier nation in any ship with two l ports, give both lports concussion mine launchers, and then have them take turns dropping all thier mines in one spot while rolling, after all the mines have been laid by all the players, have someone who is NOT friendly with them fly into the mines, if you are lucky, you wont be able to find them anymore, so you might wanna group. People have hit 5000m/sec and ended up 100,000m from the wormholes within seconds doing this, its great fun.

nah, conc mine doesn't push you too far, does it? I thought it just shook you up. Then again, I've never hit one myself...
Edit: heh, just read tram's post.

<=== concapult record holder for furthest distance traveled. (co-Originator too :D)
I wouldn't be too sure about that, softy. I've managed a concapault run with a samo taur before, and those things never slow down...
Just drop your samo next to a conc pile of 120 conc mines, line up so you'll get thrown through it, and blast off. The mines'll accelerate you instantly, and then you pick up the samo to keep you from slowing back down again. Fly out into infinity... you can make it to several thousand kilometers.
Now if only I could get it to work with the Corv Maud....

You have not seen some of the piles of mines that tram used to be able to hack up yet. But whatever, you win if it makes you feel better.
I know what hedge is REALLY talking about because I watch star trek for breakfast lunch and dinner. and i dont think it will be fully implemented in the game just yet.
Wow, Sora. Wow.
