Layering tugs
« on: February 08, 2011, 03:33:04 PM »
Ok guys following problem:

I have a gigantic payload (20 interlinked HO including 100 Cargos for mines and some basic stuff as well as cryo-systems) i want to move to a planet but as for itself it couldnt reach that place in years.  I have too a rather nice tug that i use for various hauling operations (Sensor-barges, Weapon-platforms).  Since i dont want to create a tug so massive that it can transport my HO-ship and i actually would need a couple of smaller tugs i was wondering if i could layer tugs somehow - thus having the first tug connecting to the HO-ship, the second tug to the first tug, the third tug to the second aso. 

Would the engine power of each tug add to the overall engine power of the group?

Tugs do not layer.

Damn.   :-\ So either i get the thing to crawl to its destination or i need a huuuuuuuge tug.  XD the latter should be able to tug asteriods if that there even possible.
