And why does your transport travel at 13.7 m/s?
Because cargo expanders penalise speed to balance the increased capacity.
Using instas bypasses that intended penalty, giving an unfair advantage over those who do not use instas.
The same balance problem would exist if there was a warp to 0km option.

Your choice is meant to be between capacity and speed, that is the intended balancing mechanism.
If any replacement for instas is introduced it must reinforce that mechanic.

Your post is a perfect example of why insta-jumps break Eve. I thank you for your contribution to the anti-insta, and anti-"warp to 0km" camps.

And what about the example I gave, where you need T2 industrials with local expanders to move large ship arrays and similiar, where each is 40k M3?

Lets say you need to move it 30 jumps into deep 0.0
Now lets say its 14m/s with navigation lvl5.
That means 15,000/14=1071 seconds to appraoch single gate.
Which translates into almost 18 (!) minutes just to move single stargate!!

Now lets assume you have sufficient escort to secure all the 30 jumps (unlikely, unless your alliance sends a blob along, especially at the choke points).
It will now take 18*30=535 minutes!! or almost 9 hours to bring the module into its destination in 0.0

Yeah, very reasonable game mechanics

Use a more appropriate ship .. like a freighter maybe?
Or send one of those escort ships beyond the gate, and warp to him .. that is called 'teamwork', you may have heard of it.
Or, produce the items nearer where you wish to deploy them, slowly expanding your borders, rather than using an insta zerg.

travel times need to be longer. The universe is just too damn small. Making it feel bigger can only improve every aspect of the game.

yay, lets make large-scale alliance warfare completely impossible, w00t.

It probably won't surprise you, but Bookmarks is pretty high on the list, so high in fact that we will be putting in even more drastic limitations to bookmarks. Until we of course implement the replacement for the gameplay which bookmarks introduced.

The main problem is that currently everybody needs to copy the bookmarks. One solution is to send them with EVE mails, another is the introduction of corp bookmarks and other options tend to remove them at all and replace them with some skill based system. Whatever will happen, it will happen in Kali.
