If it was Nihilus' pure TK holding ship. Then explain how did he manage to keep that "ship grip" on while engaging in lightsaber combat against 3 characters, using various Force powers and getting weakened TWICE in the process? Did he have some sort of uber concentration? No one can focus on so many things simultaneously.
At least I attempted to bring up some "realistic"explanation that his darkside nexus was holding ship. Can you give any better?
Because I don't see any reason why he didn't snap Exile's neck with casual flick of finger, when he had power to "casually hold ship together with sheer power of his will".

You really ought to read more carefully through the thread. It's been confirmed that the game's loading screen confirms Tobin's assertion.
From a warships design, he couldn't have actually done this. They have a shield over their docking bays in order to keep the atmospehere and people in. But there is no way into them short of using a shuttle. He probably just pulled a shuttle down to the planet and took it up to the Ravager, which he then used the Force to pull out of the gravity well. It was probably on the edge of it as well. I am attempting to use logic for this. However, it is early. So there you go.

That's part of Nihilus's character, he is such a Force aberration that his presence alone holds a great deal of power, being around him saps your will and makes you a mindless slave without any effort on his part.
Why should holding the ship together be much different?
Becuase the "mindless slave" thing is because he is a Wound, as the Exile does the same thing, she just doesn't subjugate her companions (its probably something to do with whether or not they fell to the Dark Side, but I am not qutie sure) while TK to hold a ship together in hyperspace would require quite a bit of effort, no matter how strong they are (because one slip up and it gets torn apart as soon as it drops out, because obviously there is no friction in hyperspace) So it may just be my personal belief, but I think that to hold that thing together he actually had to extend some amount of concious effort.
