Can't remember how it worked in BTF, but certainly in some of the later games you could just SETA out into deep space–in those games you had a jump drive that would allow you to jump back into the centre of the sector, though. Also, there was an interesting bug that meant if you got far enough out (this was like 2000km or something like that) every object in the sector would suddenly appear on your scanner as if it was right next to you, which made for a sneaky quick way of mapping out sectors! Also, a pair of GHEPTs is just enough to destroy a Xenon M2 if you hit it with every shot before energy runs out, which is the tricky bit of course…
Oh, just come back to elite. Lol
The teladi will give you an m3 to go to the gate, the boron will give you an m3 once you get one more rank up.
