How come in all of Eve's glorious timespan have we not been able to be cab drivers? How about special pod ships that players can attach to and be transported through the universe?
Think of the social intricracies that could go along with ambulation.
Also think of the crazy new ways people could pod one another.
I think it might offer the potential to cut down on client IO as well.
A pod ship could be given bonsues to help its mass through wormholes for example. A pod ship could also be given special jump drive or even a new type of transportation with the idea of low volumne hi distance.
Mass transit for the Eve Universe: think about it. |

One smart bombing battleship could take out dozens!
No thanks, I prefer the speed and safety of a jump clone.

Interesting idea and if it's not new, I haven't heard anyone comment on it.
Perhaps they could use jump drives like a capital ship, making them faster than shuttles and such? Need a gun hand? |

Cabbie collects passengers then:
- heads to wormhole & leaves passengers without probes.
- heads to Rancer
- self destructs
- Concordokken
Opportunities are endless

Edited by: Alex Cortex on 02/05/2011 22:33:37 Dude, if I could be a cab driver in EVE I'd jump at the chance. The idea of leaving passengers stranded in low-sec... (after collecting fees, of course)

I applied to be an EVE Taxi driver but I was rejected because I spoke English.

Never mind capsule taxis.
During the Dev Q&A the devs said that after CQ and stations they want you to be able to walk on your POS or your ship. All you would have to do if this was implemented is walk your avatar onto someone elses ship.
Voila a taxi.
Imagine it. A badger full of avatars jumping into Tama........

The Goons will have a field day with this. Imagine the griefing potential! Hell no!
If anything taxi's should be high sec only and impossible to destroy and cannot attack anything. Of course this can be easily abused as well.
Basically, no. This is bad.

iirc the server goes a bit funny when one player tries to dock in another player. Not to mention all the god botherers!

I'm not going to trust my implants to some player I don't know. Also isn't this what autopilot is for? At least then if you get attacked you might have some guns to fire back with.

I'd go for this if the only way a Taxi could be damaged is by being rammed by another Taxi. Would make the ride much more eventful for everyone involved. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

Are you kidding? That'd be awesome! I was a champ with that old school Cadillac drop top.

The basic idea has been suggested before. CCP tried to this with Titans but found that the code was not compatible with the database.
Have a look in the features and idea's forum, there is a old thread were a Dev explains the problem. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

Why do you need taxis when we allready have Interbus. Think of the environment, use public transportation!

Sadly the ultimate taxi would be if we could pull up to a carrier, dock up and let it jump to system xxxx and then undock. No clone games, just hitch a ride on a carrier.
The ability to do this would, well be incredible. PvP in 0.0 would never be the same, and I mean that in a good way.

Edited by: Shianno on 04/05/2011 15:51:10 Edited by: Shianno on 04/05/2011 15:49:59 The ultimate 'taxi' would be the ability to dock within large ships. If the ship has ship bay, where full equipped ships can be stored, why not just make it able to store the ship with the pilot in it? aka dock

You mean you could get podded if someone blows up the ship you are on. YUP, feature, no different then jumping into a system and getting podded before your screen loads.
The logging out issue is definitely a problem though. |
