[Spaceships] ExD Interface & Jump Gates?

If you do this, or if you see a Jump Gate as generating a wormhole outside of the ship - like, it shoots a beam that makes a wormhole a couple meters in front of it - it should work fine. So long as there aren't any weird interactions when you throw such a thing through a wormhole, anyway.

I was thinking of Babylon 5 where large ships can create their own gates to hyperspace that they use themselves. Sure, the same effect might be GM declared for a Jump/Hyperdrive, but this seemed cooler somehow. ;) Although the idea of a mothership carrying an ExDI auxiliary craft with a projectable Jump Gate that it could use for a quick escape has some merit. How the extradimensional mass/size of an ExDI auxiliary craft would be handled by external Stardrives, Exophase Fields, Parachronic/Time Flux Drives or ExDIs would very much be another "GM determined" decision. ;)
