I know there are ways people are avoiding trouble. big fleets, warp to align, cloaking, but wouldn't it be great to just have a handy little, gtfo button that warps you out of trouble into "safe space"? Somewhere the baddies are not? this would be particularly useful for explorers who either miss click into a combat site, or noobs -like myself- who don't know the ins and outs of low-null sec. Thoughts?

Sure, and while we're at it, give me an 'i win' button, and a 'mine the whole world' button, and.... hell, let's just have the whole game play itself so I can do something else instead. Why am I even subscribed?

*sigh*

Firstly, no.

Secondly, hell no.

Thirdly, this belongs in features & ideas, where you will receive similar answers.

This thread is not gonna end well for you, buddy.

Make a GTFO tab for your overview. Set it to display planets & pocos. Random pick one mash warp.

Alt-F4 is it, actually. If at all it's possible for your ship to warp away, it tries to warp away to safety.

there is a GTFO button its called "warp" what you do is you select a random celestial (I recommed having a seperate overview tabs for them) and then warp to it... won't prevent a player from following you. but thats the advantage to being a player.

or create a safe spot if your going to be in the system for a while. won't stop a player from probing you down, but it will help.

I'm going to say sure, just because of all the hate this op is getting. I'll add that it should be a high slot module that maybe uses fuel or just has a really long cycle so you can't spam it.

"Wormhole Generator" - can create an unstable wormhole at your location that you pass through and instantly collapses on a single use. It's destination relative to itself is close, i.e. same system, but exactly where is not predictable.

OP's not getting hate, the idea is. Because it's terrible, just like everything you wrote. Understanding the difference between criticism and hate is the first step to hardening TFU.

You sound triggered. Did you protest during the election? Are you a brexit opposer?
