So I'm in the mars system and I send my shuttle to tow an insurgent LRT. He flys out, tractors it, and I give him an Escort Me order to keep him close. Decide to fly back to earth with the shuttle towing the LRT. I give myself the JUMP AT earth. The shuttle follows along. I get through the jump gate on Earth side, minus the shuttle and LRT. I give him a Jump at Earth command, but to no avail. All in all, he never made it through the gate since it CTD before I could play with it some more.
My question is, can my shuttle jump through gates with something in tow. And also, if I want him to follow me around, including when I go through jump gates, should I use the Escort Command or is there a better one.
