I've done both sadly. I check it's power and warp charge each time, and reset it to escort every jump. It wouldn't even follow me one jump last night.

The distance other ships can follow you and actually jump seems to be completely random. I built a ship to mine that can jump 7.2 sectors. Sometimes it won't follow even 3. I check to make sure it it charged, fully manned, and not damaged. I've had it jump all 7 with me and then it wouldn't even follow me 3 for a while. Then randomly it did follow me 3 again. Is there any reliable way to get it to jump with me?
