I discovered a neat trick last night.

The gunner in a 2 seater can "get out" by comm'ing the station and going through the landing routine.

I find this handy if the gunner needs to go and the pilot is all Overloaded and Overt and doesn't want to land yet. In the past I tried /dismiss, like in a big MP ship, but it didnt work. I imagine this trick would function for anyone in a seat on a big ship too.

Now.... all we need is a way for the reverse to happen. Pick up a groundhog without landing and we're truly onto something.

Nice one Psi, I never even thought to try that.

I cant remember the command off the top of my head, but you can use the escape pod from the turret of a 2 seater as well.
I believe it is something along the lines of '/escapePod' or '/use EscapePod'.
Bah!! I'll look it up and come back and post it. Its not either of these, but something like it. I've used it twice already whilie gunning for a friend who had a problem crashin his computer while we were flying and I would have to get out or wait 15 minutes for him to log back in...

lol!
try it out and make sure it's right first, that's only from memory, i haven't actually used an escape pod in quite a while

Yep, the gunner in the two pilot ships can even take you to kessel and deepspace. Lats time my gunner did this though I was bugged and couldn't /comm with any stations. It was weird...

As a gunner I tried it a while back and I ended up landing the entire ship, rather than just letting myself out. I can't remember if it was as a 2 seater turret gunner or MP ship gunner, but I'm leaning towards 2 seater.

I've also had a system crash about the time I flew my ship to a station and my turret gunner (who was the pilot the when I first tried it so he knew it was possible) landed the ship from his position when it became obvious I had crashed.

I guess it's another change for the better.

My co-pilot discovered it by chance as well. Heading in to Corellia station, he commed the station control and got them to repair the damaged armour plating; free repair, yay! After that he said something to me, I don't recal what, and I replied and continued talking.... until I realised he wasn't answering any more (we were chatting in spatial). Nearly jumped out of skin to find my co-pilot gone, and he wasn't anywhere o board the ship. Later he told me he'd asked for landing, and found that he'd landed without the ship...
