I think it is very relevant to consider this one in ref to later ambulation.
Why not make a special character transport contract where you basically gets dropped at a location of the transporting ship?
So you could pay for safe passage, or hitch rides free.. A small thing would be balancing that you arent actually on the ship, and you might do stuff while someone is transporting you.. an easy solution would be that you would enter a ship that could not fly (transport cubicle) and a twin was carried by the contract holder. So in effect while in the cubicle you might have to hang outside the station waiting till completion.. of the trip..
Naturally the better way would be to actually be able to be transported on any ship while in your pod. (best solution)
Add tractors ability to target and pull pods and you have the ransom game increased to..
Scoop to cargo.. (for this removing yourself from cargo should not be possible)
It would be rather exciting to get tourism in the game this way..

The details need work. Support for the general hitchhiking idea.

Most of what you said didn't quite make sense, tbh....but I like the idea. Maybe paying someone to transport a jump clone? After they moved it you can jump.

Probably too much work to implement realistically, but I'll give it a thumb for being sufficiently amusing anyways.

Only if you can kill the hitchhiker... when you get blown up.
And the idea is full of holes... but it is amusing.

No one would use it for fear of being podded. Open to far too many explotations and grief tactics.

Frankly, it's normally just as easy to hop into a shuttle and fly myself there. The trip time isn't going to be any shorter.
What would be cool would be some kind of NPC transport service. Like the Interbus, only with real "buses" (i.e. passenger spaceships). You pay a fee to ride from one station to another, and you can even watch the trip through your client.
Meh, I'd still fly myself probably.

No.
CCP has aimed to push the fact that the players are Demi-Gods. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do a youtube search for the new Player intro movie being introduced in Apocrypha.
Demi-Gods can fly themselves.
However, in the interest of interbus, I'd love to see NPC convoys transporting people, or slaves, or tourists around in space. Even better would be the ability to attack them and make some sort of profit. The way you always hear about npc pirates doing.
But thats roleplaying fantasy, it will never be done. Not Supported.

I must admit I almost liked the idea of moving other peoples clones even more than the initial proposal..
But se hitching and being on someone elses ship in flight really still appeals to me..
Tourist like and maybe as a reporter to a great fleet battle or other operations..
Would make war and combat reporting easier..
