I do a lot of shuttle traveling, so here is my little idea, which I'm sure many people actually though of before me.
- Make a shuttle command skill (between rank 1 and 3) that increases shuttle speed by 5-15% per level. - Make an advanced shuttle command skill that allows the piloting of tier 2 shuttles (also 5-15% speed increase per level, or at least agility to enter warp/accelerate faster) - Add tier 2 shuttles that have a base speed of 800+ m/s
Anyone like? Sorry if this has been posted. :)

with your navagation skills and spaceshp command you will enter warp almost instantly, depending on how much algining you need to do.

Shuttles were only put into game inorder to enable one to pick up a new ship without ejecting into one's pod. They were never meant to be long travel ships and there's better things CCP can be spending their dev time on like fixing turret tracking and moving towards canning the T2 BPO lottery failure.

I think if they were to make some kind of T2 Shuttle... There should be a penalty... You can't just have a ship and be a total badass and thats it, I think there's gotta be some kind of penalty... I was thinking, The penalty should be 0m3 Cargo... Fast, but can't transport stuff fast... =P If you wanna transport **** fast... Get a Ceptor...

... no need for some extra shuttle stuff .. why?
.) train for ceptor of your choice (amarr, gallente preferred - reason below) .) fit it with as much nanofibers as possible (crusader and ares have the advantage with 4 lowslots) .) put an mwd on it for extra speed ...
voila - now you got a ship better than a shuttle ever could be (though not so cheap - 6-10mio isk)
an ares with 2 nanos is allready alligned and in warp before it is even completly uncloaked (the graphic effect that is) ___________________

Minmatar it is actually. Claw is faster than either the Ares and Crusader and has 4 lows as well. Slightly higher mass though. 714 m/s base speed with 4 internal nanos and nav 5.

Apparently, T2 shuttle is already in and is called the Ares.
Nice cheap alternative for insta-less travel is Rifter with 1MN MWD and full rack of nanos. Add small cap battery for those really large systems and Med Shield Booster so your last med is not empty. BPOs are cheap and so are the minerals required. ------ No ISK, no fun |

I think the Minmatar Shuttle looks badass, and think that a T2 shuttle should have like 1/1/1 or something. I mean, doesn't it look like it should have weapons? The fitting would be such that to fit Frigate weapons you would have to put in a Aux Power in the low. But you could also put in a nanofiber or something else to make it faster and have nothing in high.
Actually, maybe make it 1/0/1, and then make something that looks suckass, like the Gallente Shuttle, 0/1/1. Of course, give it like 4 PowerGrid and 2 CPU or something.

Why the hell would somone want a t2 shuttle? Tell me 1 reason why someone would want to use a t2 shuttle insted of, say, a Condor or Executioner? --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |

Condors & Executioner's sell for around 20-30k and are actually used in PvP as well as for travaling. The Amarr navy Slicer is also a good traveling ship. A t2 shuttle is likely to have at least 1 morphite + 1 shuttle as its ingreadient so it will already cost more than the basic frigs.
And if you dont have a travaling ship - you buy a "Disposable Shuttle" which is why we have a shuttle in the first place. So explain why someone, in wanting to move to another station, or though lowsec with or without instas, would want to buy a t2 shuttle insted of a condor/executioner etc which not only goes faster, but has bigger cargo etc? And why would they pay more than the price of a t1 shuttle for the service? --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |

I ended up building an executioner. It goes 1040 m/s w/ a 1mn booster. I only have 750k skill points though, so that's pretty good speed for what I have. The setup cost around 75k.
