Doubt that's a bug. It would be too perfect and unbalanced if blinking carried no risk.

No, it's a bug.

What I would like to see:
1. You're in a blinking warrior. Look at that sabre with 2 hull.
2. Blink INTO the Sabre.
3. Blink away once it's destroyed.
4. Profit.
Or better yet, use blink to kill the sabre.

I've done some pretty thorough testing on the matter, it's a bug introduced somewhere between PB3 and PB6.

It might be caused by more aggressive explosion simulation.

hmm, interesting. I always thought it was that way to make the blinker use some brain cells and to separate the noobs from the men.

Hey, did you know that if you hold down blink and press h you can launch your ship.

Now THAT would be a way to send a Warrior to a stranded pilot so quickly.

try holding down blink (not releasing) and pressing "ctrl+b"

In case you're trying to play a prank I know what ctrl+b does.

Actually, I think he's after a genuine test here. If hopping out stil teleports the ship, will bailing out destroy your ship and then create a duplicate? Unlikely, but worth a try.
If it does apply then it needs to be fixed, as the same method could be used to save yourself from being killed by an enemy. Your tank gets destroyed, but you had blink held down so it blinks away, and then your pilot can just glide over and have it back.

I would want to know if it blows up on the spot or blinks first. Or maybe looks like a blink accident.

Protip: Blink rapes infantry. I was once attacked by ten or more APCs and I raped all the inf with blink without losing pretty much any of my buildings.

So what did it do?

For the same reason I love it with someone blinks out when pretty much dead already
