And i never got an answer from the 3 emails i sent over 2 months ago, ill ask here 
In one of the CSM meeting, about ~3 months ago, Fuhry said :
 Quote:
Fuhry > yes, Interbus will finally start their Space Truck business
Fuhry > it will be a rather expensive service, so pilots can compete
but in the interbus POTW, interbus' use is to move pilots around :
Quote:
The InterBus is a transportation organization responsible for ferrying people between space stations.
I was wondering if the idea of interbus moving people around the universe had been dropped or if interbus is going to serve more than one role ?
If i remember right (pretty sure i do), the shuttles were supposed to be a temporary solution to move ships around until interbus would be in... that was in ~june...
In the "Updates" pages, Interbus is stated as well :

-Interbus transportation
Could we get an update on the way Interbus will
Quote:
serves a vital role - that to link even the smallest and most remote stations into their vast network
as well as more informations on the fee range, the speed at which it moves you and if it will be part of the next patch
More info on interbus : Here, the POTW
Hoping for an answer this time

Interesting, yes an update on this would be useful, and I'm sure Pann will reply eventualy, given it was raised and mulled over in a CSM, then I'm sure CCP havn't forgoten about it; Otherwise would make CSM's seem a waste of everybodies time  , so can imagine they got overwraught in work and missed replying to you. Coz now your've raised it for there attention again, I'm sure they will get back to you shortly, if to only confirm and solidify the great work that gets done in CSM's.

Interbus will start ferrying packages to begin with. They won't go into the people moving business because of the low prices on shuttles currently - they simply cannot compete. We expect the Space Trucking division of Intebus to get into gear hopefully this month, but no later than January-February. |

Fuhry, is there a limit to the packages' size (ie, will we be able to transport ships )?

We will perhabs tune the volume for ships later on and introduce new slow moving industrials that would only be able to ferry ships.

Will this be 100% guarnteed of getting to its destination, or is there a chance the "trucks" can be raided and you lose your gear?

I dont know, maybe he is just lucky.
Perhaps I should get him to post my questions.
Taken from the May 29th 2003 Devchat at EveGate
.
<Muaddid> Q: When will sentry gun and station and similar construction pods be introduced on the market?
<Hellmar> we have various player owned entities already implemented. Sentry guns, power/shield generators, field repair mini-stations, mobile refineries. We are still working out the last tidbits of how they can be over taken, what is the penalty of having a sentry gun kill a n00b etc. and we have been a bit busy with plugging the holes that people have found.I would say that you'd start to see these items on the market in about 2-3 weeks, very expensive to begin with |

Well first, thanks Tomb and Fuhry, its sweet to get an answer that was. Added to the incoming PVP changes and some new items i saw on Chaos server for tech 2 production brings back my hope into seeing EVE become teh r0x0r

Well, hum, thats fine with me for empire space... what about outside ? stain, venal, outer ring, fountain, great wildlands, there are no shuttles there... That the main use i was seeing for interbus, to get people from outside of empire space to empire space... (quote from POTW)
Quote:
...to link even the smallest and most remote stations into their vast network...
The InterBus system, spanning almost the whole of the known world, (...) a safety net for all space travelers that get in trouble - many careless explorers or unlucky merchants would never have made it home if it werenĘt for the service of the InterBus.

After playing with tech 2 on chaos i felt i need to bump this post again...
For thoses who havent been on chaos server this is why :
To get the best stuff you currently have to fight npcs, after the patch its exclusivly from agents, ok, i can (barely) live with that (seeing how agent missions are boring).
To produce tech 2 items, if you're lucky enough to get a BP, you need construction components, which... are given from agents too! ...so more agent missions, or buy them from other players.
Your research agents will give you boosts in research points if you do missions for him, makes sense...
Does this mean you have to do agent missions 23/24 ? thankfully, no, as you your research agent will only give you such missions every 12h or so... but it doesn mean you need to live pretty close to your agent... and thats in empire space ONLY ! If you're a deep space miner, or part of an alliance, you're basicaly screwed !!!
Interbus, as i quoted before
Quote:
serves a vital role - that to link even the smallest and most remote stations into their vast network
with interbus, i could get from fountain to empire space without having to travel throught the 40 jumps needed for a fee and a some time, but i would not be able to carry anything, so pirate wouldnt lose anything (unlike the planned interbus said by Fuhry here, where pirate really lose the oportunity of pirating ppl's goods), i would lose some money, it would take me longer than if i did it manualy with 3 MWDs on, but i wouldnt need to be online to do it.
Let the market decide if interbus cannot compete with shuttles, im sure MANY would be ok with paying like 50k isk and 4mins per jump (for a 40 jumps trip, 2m isk and 2h40) instead of using shuttles in empire space, or instead of manualy doing it outside of empire space, with a few MWDs on board
I gotta quote what someone else said on the boards...
Quote:
CCP's new way to get ppl out of empire:
Have research agent's only in empire space.
I am sure that will encourage everyone to leave empire space ....GJ CCP
i believe this new patch will help eve ALOT but from what i (and what all thoses with whom i talked with) think, this issue needs to be adressed with castor's patch as well...
It shouldn't be too hard to code either, seeing how the interbus station icon is already made as we saw in beta (looked good too), and its just a matter of putting a delay on "/tr" and charging our wallet...
PS: Another good limit would be that your destination could only be where you either have a ship or your corp an office space

From what I understood, the interbus curriour service would be much like convoys are today, except they'd be ferrying real pilots items and not npc items.
If so, I think they'll make good targets :P

So if they're ferrying your character and get raided by a pirate. Do you lose your character?
Does your pod eject from the Interbus ship or do you get fried in the explosion?
Will Interbus compensate for loss of life or are you expected to have insurance?
The same goes for cargo shipping.

/me is curious to know wtf is going on at Interbus HQ ...
Plus whatever happened to the 'UN-STICK CHARACTER' button that was promised for the website  And is fee-based insta-travel (safe Interbus usage, and gamewise - affectively teleportation, as originally described in POTW) linked to this and the /tr command

<Fuhry> yes I think Interbus will stick to its original goals of ferrying people. The whole thing is being reconsidered currently. There won't be any Interbus in Castor, but perhaps in a post-castor hotfix. It will be in Shiva though.
Fuhry just moved to #1 on my cool dev list

imho i think they are focusing way way way to much on the lvl 3-4 agents coming out with castor.
to get a BP you have to run agent missions.
to get a lvl 4 research agent you need to run agent missions.
to get any decent loot tech 2 loot you have to run agent missions.
to get items for tech 2 item production you need to run agent missions
to gain tech 2 skills you need to run agent missions.
i mean ffs does CCP want to make this game a fuggin agent sim or what?
*edit*
what ever happened to BS NPC pirates???
or the so called "named pirates" that were to be implemented?
please please please dont introduce everything via agent missions cos simply put they are LAME AND BORING!

I mean c'mon, just think about it. What would make more sense then the 3 most hated alliances teaming up to lay waste to the people they all hate anyways? CA is already allied with PA, and TPS lies between the two alliances. Natural allies to be sure. But it's not just that, all but PA (and even some of them) have adopted a "stfu and die, or come and fight us, we don't give a **** what you think or do" philosophy, as well as a PvP Kill everyone not friend kind of mentality. These are the people in eve that kill or convert, the ones dedicated to the death of others, because history, circumstance, and the rest of eve have driven then to do so (except TPS, who are just cool ass pirates ). |
