Have you ever wanted to get to another system and some stupid freighter and his escort are going into the hole at .5mph and you have to wait?

join em it let’s you in if you join formation with them but sometimes you ,kind of go in side ways

People getting in your way? What do you think those massive guns on the front of your ship are for?

I have been looking for a big stick to jam the door things open...

Doesn't work for Jumpgates, it sais "Formation lost". You'll automaticly dock with the jumpgate after that.
Havn't tried with Jumpholes (Stargates?).

yeah from my experience it only lets you stay in formation though jump gates when your on multiplayer and in formation with another player, in single player you cant join formation with NPC ships though a JG, but i never tried on multiplayer.

I think the "limit" for how many ships can go through at once is 4...so if the freighter has more than 2 escorts, it will send you back to make another run at the gate. You can sometimes observes this with large convoys, where the two transports and two of the fighters go through, but the other escorts go around again.

And if you really can't wait, blast the suckers and take a little compensation pay for the delay they caused you.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless
