Here's the idea, apologies if it has been suggested already.
In each region there is a shuttle service. You can use it to be transported from station to station in any system in the region, as long as it is 0.5 to 1.0 and the station is an NPC station.
This means it is an empire based, high-sec thing only, meaning no one can use it to stealth into other peoples POSs and such. I suspose you could add some functionality to make a POS become on the grid, a shuttle service depot module maybe for those that want people coming to thier station.
This also means that if u want to go into low-sec or 0.0 you still are at risk cause you have to fly your ship.
The cost is based on number of system/jumps you are going, but not really high cost, say 1k per jump? 500 per jump?
This shuttle service transports just the pilot .. nothing else, no cargo.
The idea for this comes from seeing those convoys going in and out of stations and thinking, maybe some of them are passenger liners and such or carrying passengers as part of thier freight.
ok .. flame away lol

Your ideas is good and pretty solid.
But it will never fly.
Jump clones.... setting up a clone in a different location and podding yourself.... these are just a few of the methods pilots use to get around.
The pilots are capsulers... not passengers of any particular ship...
All your doing is encouraging a very lazy game.
Not supported.

Buy a shuttle, autopilot. Fast, cheap, requires no changes of game mechanics. I see no reason to implement this.

Well it would mean u didn't have to buy a shuttle and no worring about autopiloting to a place. You merely click the button, choose the destination and poof, there u are for a few isk.
Don't see why that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

You don't have to buy a shuttle - noob ships and pods also work perfectly well. But since paying a few isk isn't a problem for you, I figured you'd also be fine with paying 10k or so for a shuttle.

If I need to move my pod afk I usually just buy a cheap frigate and an MWD. Put the MWD in the f1 position, set your autopilot and tape down the f1 button. As you drop warp the MWD activates and if the cycle ends before you hit the gate a fraction of a second later it is activated again. This is the quick lazy man's afk.

Buying shuttles is good for industrialist bank accounts but so annoying. Buying a shuttle and trashing it when you arrive to keep your assets list clean is effectively the same thing as the proposal. There are plenty of other items for industrialists to manufacture for profit.
Good idea and would help create a sense of realism. I would even go so far as to make it possible for a player to elect to receive a free Shuttle rather than rookie ship from their insurance company.

You know you can just sell or reprocess the shuttle afterward right?

We should be "The Capsuleers"... the elite, the "demigods".
Why should we use a common bus, with our wallets equalling a planet's GDP?
Do not try and find the signature... that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth... There is no signature. |
