Maybe I haven't found it, there is lots I don't know about Eve even after years....
Sure would like to leave my ship, hop on an interstellar transport ship, and show up at some base 10 jumps away. Long as it is significantly less expensive than a shuttle.

You must be thinking of jump clones? :)

what i think you are asking for is an alternative to jump clones, say you wish to travel from point A to point B, you pay a set fee and it warps you there on Autopilot essentially but at like 10Au warp speed and it lands on 0km to the gate, say from Youl to Uchat, but i don't want to do it in my Pod because were at war, but i also don't want to move my mission boat to get there. and the nearest shuttle is like 10 jumps in the wrong direction?
nice idea, one i suggested myself some time ago, i still think this would be a good Idea, but considering Empire space is the only logical place for this ship to transport you to without impacting piracy, it isn't really taking you that far which is what stopped the idea first time round i believe. jump clones allow you to warp around a lot and generally allow you to operate out of two locations effectively.

Maybe just transports you to the other station directly, (no new visuals), and just sets a certain amount of time to do depending on how far the station was from your original point.
So it may take just a few seconds to get to a station inside your system, but may take 15-20 mins to go 30 jumps (which is faster than a transport/battleship, but slower than a shuttle)

I have thought about this one too. Except maybe the transporting could be done in the same fashion as a courier contract. I think the more things that are player driven the better! If this idea was taken on by CCP it could evolve into a mini-profession and could allow for smuggling low security status pilots into empire. Dangerous, but with a hint of fun. |

I can't see taxi driver being a great profession in eve. fair enough for the driver but for you? Having to wait for somebody to pick up your char? What if the person gets blown up with you onboard, do you just sit there in a pod?
for this to work you'd have to have a deterministic time frame for transportation to occur in. Not a player driven one.
If i didn't get picked up in five minutes i'd buy a shuttle and drive myself!
