Come help, friendly carrier in triage!

So went the call Sunday morning in the Gal Miltia intel channel. This was a who's-in-charge-I-don't-know fleet, and all I had handy for a carrier engagement was a Raven, so I boarded it, undocked and warped to the gate. I had heard help was wanted in the next system over, but as I landed, I saw the fleet waiting to jump in.

"Cool!" I thought, as my Raven slowed to a stop. Just in time.

Then the gate activated and I jumped through.

Then I began laughing hysterically as I realized I had pressed the 'Jump' button instead of 'Warp' and my ship has auto-jumped through the gate after landing, where the Squid fleet was waiting on the other side.

That's some funny ****, CCP. I approve. Can't wait for my turn on the other side of this new 'feature.' Cool

I never did find out what happened to the friendly carrier.

I am really glad that CCP works on various improvements all the time..

But in this and similar cases, I wouls also like new options in setting menu to allow removing that new cool feature:)

Or you could just not press the jump button?

Just a thought.

To be fair, I somehow missed the changes to the jump button as well as the open container button. Open container personally being the most annoying, especially if you are trying to salvage while staying aligned to a safe.

Why in the world would they use those neuting Abaddons.. Domis would have been a hell of a lot more effective and cheaper.. They could transfer power among themselves and neut as well as do reasonable amount of damage via drones. Not to mention they are a hell of a lot cheaper than Abaddons.
