Skipping specifics

[DarkBlueWaters]

Be careful when you skip... draw lines and marks before attempting... make sure they're right. I didn't do that and almost lost a VII A with exp officers and crew on board. Below is pic of mark and where I landed. The link for learning how to skip is: http://showiki.de.vu/ then search for skip course in a mission. Also, if you need more help; there are a few guys that are great and will help teach you how to skip correctly. Search them out... be safe have fun and happy hunting

P S - I paid for this one; the ship drifted into me and I took damage.

Nice post.

That was a really close one...
Those close encounters are really dangerous and I'm sure this thread will call the attention of the new players still learning the jump stage.

I skip and can land very close to the targets but not pucker close. The key is to mark the ships and use your markers. I like to mark the ship with a circle with the line in the circle in same path of ship travel. Make the circle about 1km then land to the side of the line marked in back of the circle
