Bastion was on the other side of the system. It was disabled anyway, that mission is....strange.
Yes..an by drawing the shivans attention to itself, the Collossus was buying it time. Why the Colossus was disabeld I do not know, but it could clearly jump. Normal engines (fusion drives) and jump drives are not the same..
I don't think a ship in FS has ever jumped out when disabled.
It still had jump drives..have you seen the ani at all? It jumped and detonated INSIDE subspace...as did the Neried
Yes, but its unknown whether it had a one shot drive installed like the Hermes, which would take up less space.
Hermes is an escape pod...who sez it has a one-shot jump drive anyway? And it's not like thaere's lack of room in an Orion..
Says in it Tech Room description. Orion was packed with Meson Bombs, it would make sense for them to remove the engine and place a smaller one in if that was necessary to create a large enough explosion.
To clarify my position, I'm not saying there is any substantial evidence for nano-jumping being possible within the game, I'm saying there is no conclusive evidence against it, and no reason for it to be impossible. It would also explain a few things without resorting to the "Command is stupid, lol" line of argument.
