Jint Hikaru OffWorld Exploration Inc 944	Posted - 2013.11.29 11:39:00 - [32] - Quote I seem to recall hearing that more than one character in a single ship causes the core Eve code to spazz out. Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer / SpaceBum In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Anomaly One 72	Posted - 2013.11.29 11:44:00 - [33] - Quote Only if when you shoot this taxi cab and it spews pods left and right for you to collect, then you go into first person mode and.. pew pew, pew pew pew (this could be an idea for Valkyrie implementation) ~~running my own mission and have some class bully run up and blow me up because they think its funny, then give the excuses that I was just firing fireworks at you~~
Demica Diaz The Scope Gallente Federation 84	Posted - 2013.11.29 12:04:00 - [34] - Quote Transporting players nah, but I can see clone transport service. If you need your jump clone 34 jumps away in dangerous space you can pay someone to fly your clone there, drop it off and you can activate it. That way your character will not be stuck in Troll Taxi service that spins around Jita station for 100+ hours.

Taal Khurin Happy Asteroid Ltd 94	Posted - 2013.11.29 12:29:00 - [36] - Quote I was talking about this the other day.. I would certainly do bus routes from Rens to Jita or something hehe.

As long as passenger are pure passive passenger, I do not think this is too hard to implement. ->The passenger is a pure passive item, like any other, that may order to be jettisond at next subwarp :) so .. not a big thing. At least I think CCP should allow docking a carier in space, that would be in the norms !
Arduemont The State of War. 2471	Posted - 2013.11.29 13:19:00 - [38] - Quote Imagine for a moment we had Walking in Stations. Now imagine that people could play for free without a "Pilots License" and therefore couldn't skill or fly a ship. They would be station bound unless they were moved by players who had licenses. Now imagine the grief you could inflict on free to play players. Roll a transport alt, get a whole train full and fly them straight to low-sec and ransom them. Imagine the glorious glorious killmails when you killed a stray Stealth Bomber, only to find it had three other players on-board. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice."

If the game were free-to-play but you couldn't fly without a flying license, and players ran transportation for these free-to-play-ers. However, the glaring issue of "d/ced to purgatory" lingers on... There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.
Futchmacht TERRA CORE INDUSTRIES 14	Posted - 2013.11.29 14:24:00 - [41] - Quote Uma D wrote: Either this would be a business area which pays really bad, since you will not be able to ask for high prices for your service or otherwise barely anyone would be paying millions for a transport when they can just buy a shuttle for a few k. I could only see this being a profitable business idea if the autopilot would get removed from the game. Maybe not.. some peoples clones are worth many many millions which is a lot more then a shuttle.. and if you can get someone to shuttle your pod as cargo through (red space) say to an outpost you have stuff in because they are (Blue to the owners of the space you need to go) it might be worth it to some people i have stuff in stations i no longer have access to and have tried to sell off by contract that i would love to just dump on the local market for cheap. But its not worth the loss of a clone. The only flaw is that i see is that there is still risk because even though someone that is blue with the people in the systems your red with.. they still have the risk of getting killed buy a red gang or what not lol If the ship had the ability to hold pods and jump that would be worth it i think.. then you gould jump to a POS and then maybe a quick hop to the station and boom you are there. It would also add an interesting new mechanic for moving around spys etc.

claire xxx Bitter Vets and Friends 65	Posted - 2013.11.29 14:55:00 - [43] - Quote I forget which Alliance Tournament it was (seven or eight maybe,) but one of the CCP Devs was interviewed between matches and this was brought up as a possibility in the future. The way it was explained though was more along the lines of "capturing" someones pod after a battle, instead of outright podding them you could hold the pod with a point then bring in a specialized ship and scoop them. Amusing thought at the time, but really what would you do with the capsule? Ransom it? Would it keep them from clone jumping back to that clone until it's released? All kinds of interesting possibilities come to mind, but is it actually doable?

Little Dragon Khamez Guardians of the Underworld White Mountain Coalition 585	Posted - 2013.11.29 14:59:00 - [45] - Quote How about allowing the safe transportation of jump clones so that players wouldn't have to physically move them about prior to using them. If someone destroys it so what its only a jc, if it's delivered safely them you have access to a region that you haven't had to travel to. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Ila Dace Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 375	Posted - 2013.11.29 16:31:00 - [47] - Quote WTB actual mothership that can dock other player ships and jump them. Mobile starbase is a reasonable substitute. If House played Eve: http://i.imgur.com/y7ShT.jpg

You can transport someone elses jump clone in the rorqual (and I guess titan too?). Only that the player is not really 'aboard', and has to jump into the clone afterwards. And once they do they can no longer dock with the clone vat again. In after the lock :P -á - CCP Falcon www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies
Metangela Usafa Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.11.30 20:00:00 - [53] - Quote This could be cool. It could be like a transportation contract. Something like this. A ship is packaged ..capsuleer included, for transport and is immobile until delivery , tranport destruction, or a cargo jettison. A poor mans carrier. Lolz. It's then a flyable ship. Can you san Trojan Horse. These transport packages would be scamnable and the pilot catching a ride should be visible. I just can't see many eve players putting themselves into anothers care for that to happen. Someone would invent TRANSWOXing. The clone thing would be cool but I wanna see the implants on them if they r inactive clones. Basically organic crate. That could be profitable.

Oh wait, wrong game ... This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.-á Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless
Iudicium Vastus Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 170	Posted - 2013.11.30 23:02:00 - [55] - Quote This would be a neat feature. But would need all sorts of checks and balances. But as a method of doing this I would imagine to cut down on lolganks on these specialized ships, make it so any ship with the appropriate cargo capacity could do it. Imagine it like with this scenario... Wartargets have you hisec station camped and pretty locked down. You want to be smuggled out. Write up a transport contract, which actually behaves in mechanics to a normal courier contract. Pod only though. Perhaps known entities could grow such divisions to be trusted with pod transport so the WT's themselves don't just simply pick it up of public contracts. So then courier (read; smuggler) comes in with maybe a frigate on up to battleship with a decent hold (lets maybe have capsule volume reduced from their current 1,000m3 size), picks you up but the pod is now treated as a 'wrapped package' and put in their hold and they undock like normal business and you disappear from local when this transporter jumps out with you, leaving campers blueballed. but even so, there are still other issues like if this smuggler gets a d/c, or pod-owner options like manually ejecting themselves if they feel like they're getting into danger suddenly, and of course collateral.
