So i began thinking last night about titans and elite haulers...stuff like that, and how titans can carry ships on them and stuff, mostly like moving stations. And then i started thinking about how NPC's kill people and leave them to have only pods left, basically vulernable to pvpers..especially in 0.0. So i was thinking, what about a ship that its main purpose is to go out, and get the people in pods and then safely return them to a base. It wouldnt have high slots, but mainly medium and low. And it would have alot of speed. Just an idea....any suggestions or comments?

i had a similar thought along that line,
but mine was to do with the titans that during a fight u could Jettison a new ship for a pod to board into or the pod could "dock" and get a new ship that way as well as being fitted out. maybe even going to the point of "Firing out" ammo dumps for ur corp/alliance from the titan mid battle so there is a supply for attackers/defenders
i liek the idea of a Pod Rescue vessel tho, no weapons but just extremely fast with good CPU and Powergrids to fit shields or maybe even have shield max HP as a bonus for the skill training like reduced CPU for cloaks on COvert ops

The reason i like the idea is because not everyone is going to be able to have a titan...plus this is a simple idea just give it the ability to dock like maybe 1 pod on it...plus it would bring more of a space life filling to it, plus pvpers when they give a rescue vessel it would be like a 2 for one deal or something...but ya speed would be the only good thing about it

I think it would be good enough if cruisers/BCs/BSs could carry 1-2 extra pilots with them, enough to give a mate or 2 a lift home.
Think they used to be able to do that...

carrying people with you like a Taxi might explain why people now have a 1m¦ volume in the Atributes tab when you do Show info on someone

i believe that the reason that being able to transport other players was taken out was along the lines of problems relating to if the character of the ship carrying the passenger logged off with the other guy onboard

tow-ships have been suggested before and would apply in such problems.
If they could incorporate ships used to tow other ships (eg a mining barge module for attaching another ship) then people could bring a ship for the podded individual.
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

Hum, I suppose you will be able to jettison ships out of the Titans, it would make sense, at least. Besides considering they ARE mobile stations capsules WILL be able to dock to them, allowing them to get themselves a ship. I don't know if the Titans will have a fitting screen, but you could always stock it up with pre-fitted ships beforehand.
That said, I like the idea of a rescue ship. It could look like a heavily modified industrial or something like that. No guns, reasonably fast, mediocre armor, nothing else. It could perhaps carry up to five pods (depending on skill level...?), If the pilot of the ship logs out, the pilots in the capsules will stay in the ship until they decide to jettison themselves from the ship, or the two minute timer runs out and the rescue ship disappears, in which case all passengers are jettisoned as well. Perhaps the persons sitting in the capsules could be allowed to insta warp out of the ship as well.
Alternatively one of the other pilots could gain control over the ship as long as the owner is gone, getting pushed back into his spectator role when the owner logs back on. Should the pilot happen to leave the ship on a station while he is the last person left on the ship, the ship gets moved into the hangar of its original owner, thus preventing stealing of the ship.
