"Hello there, Cygnus. I recently happened to witness your ship traveling through space when suddenly--I could barely believe my eyes--you disappeared! Not a wormhole or other phenomenon, no, it must have been a spacial displacement technique! I myself have been working on a device similar to the one you are using. It will undoubtedly, be far superior to your model, of course, but that is not what I came here to speak with you about!

He smiles in an annoyingly superior way, "You see, in my experiments i have come across a technique that allows nearby ships to 'follow along' another ships spacial transit, so long as their shields are synchronized! The technique is, of course, sound, but unfortunate supply difficulties have made confirming the principles that are used in them. This is, however, where you come in.

Take this device. It will allow a friendly AI ship of yours to follow you when you warp. Test it out for a while, and come back with your results. These 'side along warp devices' are surprisingly easy to create, so come back if you ever need a replacement. Now go and test it!

Mission Requirements: Have slave follow you with side-along warp device 5 times.

Reward: Experience

Items given for mission start: Slave Side-Along Warp Device

Ah, you've returned! I'm quite busy, but how did it work?"

You quickly sketch out how it functioned, and he rubs his chin delicately, "If it worked properly, then the rest of my theory must be sound as well! I will return to work immediately!"

He turns to walk from the room, but pauses at the last moment, turning back to you, "Ah...while your test was appreciated, it was still quite limited in scope. If you want to continue to test these devices, you can have as many as you like. Just bring me some metals to fabricate them.

RTS controls...

Select slaves.
Right-click self.
Fly for 5 seconds.
PWI.
Profit.

Isn't the point of a PWI to instantly jump out of/into firing range? Also note that slaves often travel faster/slower than someone's main ship, they often drift and face some other direction. Not to mention the extra 2/3 PWI (a one time mission) that FC must obtain.

Don't use PWI's then? :p

Alright, i want my drones to PWI with me too.

You could scoop them first and then PWI
