Doesn't stop the stardrive in progress...But it should stop him from stardriving before he sets it.

if its not possible to attack somebody in a stardrive, it would be nice if it actualyl wasen't possible to shoot missiles at somebody doing a stardrive jump. it would save missiles and confusion.

i agree that being able to fire missiles at someone after they have already engaged stardrive wastes missiles and you have no way of knowing they are jumping until they actually jump.

I noticed that I could still fire cm after stardrive was running but I dont think it showed red alert. Are you safe as soon as the count down starts or not until its finished?

Star drive is the same as hiting F12.
Once your in star drive and a missile or lasers is fired. There is nothing you can do about it. You can do 1 of 2 things.
1. Keep going with the star dive. I think you lose your cargo plus a death shows up on your pilot info.
2. Hit F12 lose your cargo and a death shows up on your pilot infor.

This subject came up when the staff or mit did a upgrade to stop players hiting F12 when they were attacked an keeping there cargo. Some players as well as my self have lost a lot of Cr's worth of cargo when this happens.
Foot note: Untill the 2nd flash of light, you is still in star system. So you still can be attacked.

Cargo is not lost when someone fires a missile at you in the middile of your stardrive...Nor do you gain a death. You will most certainly lose your cargo if you panic and hit f12 while under red alert in your stardrive.
