An option for another player, lets say one who's part of your gang to be an observer on your ship. Great fro showin off to your friends, teaching the young kids, etc.
Also the ability to dock your pod into the cargo hold of one of your gang's ships.
Cool.

Would be cool for pilots who can't use cov-ops to ride shotgun in a buddys through hostile territory.
Gankers would have fun too, " 2, no 3 pods for the price of one!!1!" --- Wolven Elite Guard is recruiting - new and old players with high regard for high morals and values

So you could rescue a podded gang mate? Or transport someone across eve without them needing to buy a shuttle?
Sounds good to me.

yup, sounds very good
popping open a ship and a couple of pods jumping out would be good fun.

I can see this as a better way to ship people to and from empire and 0.0 better. Instead of me risking my neck and trying to find instas through those border systems, I can pay someone to worry about defending and navigating the ship.
I can see entire corperation setting up armed escort transport services. It would create another niche in the market. I don't see any downsides to this. ----- David - Proud to be saving the universe since 1984 Wrangler - Saving the drunks by drinking their beer since 1992 Saving the breweries by sending their produce to Wrangler since 2005 - Imaran |

Whoa cool idea!
Always wanted something like "Scoop to cargo hold" on pods while in industrial
The truth is out there...

I agree, great idea.. You could save a friend in a battle that was about to get podded.

Of course, the devs would have to make it so that a player could not scoop up the pod of the player's ship he just killed. This would be like getting locked in a locker in middle school all over again for some folks!
Fleet battles would become pod collection points and corps could be forced to pay ransom for corp members held hostage. Or maybe that's a good thing.
If this was implemented, once scooped by an enemy, a pod would only live for a certain amount of time (cumulative with no reset) in a can or cargo hold.
Evil. So very, very evil.

As long as we can kidnap enemy pods, dump them in the middle of Catch and run off cackling, I'm on board.

In addition perhaps a way of seeing your corp members or gang member's HUD get instant intel on status and location.

Or you could just allow pod pilots to self destruct their pods inside the enemy ships - KABOOOM! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [JAG]<SOL> |

Edited by: Warden Nightstar on 18/03/2006 18:32:54 It sounds good in theory, but consider that you would have to seriously trust whoever your pilot is. After all, he could just jettison you in dangerous territory. There's also the issue of synchronization with the server, and all that fun stuff. This is why Titans can carry ships in their holds, but their pilots must jump clone into them.
It also would break gankers. Why? Because pods are so small that it takes a long time for a large ship to lock on, and then he has to warp scramble it to prevent escape. End result is that he'd never be able to get both pods.

lol funny idea like it, wait I could escrow my ship to low sec then take my pod as a passenger on a freighter with instas etc. :) I also want pods that fly drones think it would be fun, a new way to look at a fleet a dominix with tons of PC pods controllin the drones, all you can do is pick target and fly it anywhere like a normal ship no slots fittin's etc skills will be based on you or dominix guy's drone skills!... BOOM! ah 50pods everywhere
Im a noob, bear with me :P |

Like the idea.
If you combine the skills of yourself and the pilot who's onboard and you have multi-pod-ships (have read something like this once). Please resize your signature to be smaller than 24,000 bytes in size, and less than 120px in height - Jacques |

that would sound amazing if this were possible for titans... i don't know fully how they work but what i understand is that you would have to come on a pod and grab a ship from ship hangar... then fit it "in space" wich takes AgEs... if someone (limited number) could float with fully fitted then they could "take point" among the titans drones and it's weapons :) ----------

Good idea. To avoid some abuses though, the pod would only be caught in space if the pilot allows it
Should also have a "passage" contract, defining A to B, time, payout on delivery, cost for delay (x% per extra 3 minutes) and cost if blown (you as a pilot must insure your passenger's safety).
