I like your thinking DS, but....
I believe the gravitational shear on the craft will tear it apart, and if the thrusters were powerful enough to move the ship away from the blackhole I'm guessing they would be powerful enough to get the ship to near light speed velocities on their own.
plus...what Jenny said

I see what you mean.
This LInky suggests something very similar (without the asteroid idea tho).
I wonder what relativistic effects would do to the ship tho. (time dilation, mass increase and length contraction) ?? .

Sorry that what I meant, at 0.5c the ship would probably have the mass of a titan, the dimensions of a pod and with the time dilation effect it would feel like the worst patch day ever .

True, from my perpective things would be peachy...I'm a little worried about the thrusters tho.
As the ship accelerates toward lightspeed its mass increases and the thrusters would have to be designed with that in mind.
So does that give us a catch 22 situation, make the thrusters powerful enough to manage the extra mass but these extra large thrusters would also increase in mass thus negating their extra power ....hmmmm...time for coffee :P .

The ship would still increase in mass though, meaning the thrusters have more and more mass to move? .

If you were relying on the thrusters to keep you out of the black hole, the extra mass would have to be factored in.
Any idea what the added mass would be at 0.5c ? .

Ahh found it....the effects are quite small at 0.5c
if stationary mass = 10 mass @ 0.5c = 11.5 mass @ 0.99c = 70.89 mass @ 0.9999c = 707.12

LOL splitter!
Do you, by any chance, create CCPs equations for stacking .

I think an easier way would be to find a dome headed alien and get him to snort some melange....job done .
