ghosttr Amarr ARK-CORP	Posted - 2008.02.16 03:07:00 - [1] I think interbus is a good idea and have always wondered why it hasn't been implemented. I think that most of the fears people have about it ruining courier contracts aren't valid. Moving freight, or valuable items should be left to courier missions. And interbus should handle the small stuff. Things that interbus should be able to handle (in limited quantities): - Ammunition - Non Special Ship Fittings (no faction items) I believe that if it was introduced in this way there would be alot less people in jita. I know I wouldnt go to jita if I could buy my guns and ammo at a decent price and quantity without going into the den of the lagmonster. Weapons Linking

ghosttr Amarr ARK-CORP	Posted - 2008.02.16 04:11:00 - [4] Originally by: Tek'a Rain or the growth of other trade hubs can continue, as people get fed up with jita.. and.. then problem becomes nothing? Post something productive of qft. I think interbus would reduce lag in major systems such as jita. Where even if we had people willing to do courier contracts. it would just add more lag because you sending someone there to lag it up in your place. Weapons Linking
ZerKar Caldari Zen'Tar	Posted - 2008.02.16 04:52:00 - [5] I think it would be better if Interbus could exist solely for the purpose of fast as possible transit of Pod Pilots between one station and the next. (Like a Jump Clone but with your full clone in-tact) It would be similar to buying a shuttle but instead you pay to be Auto Jumped between the systems in a real fast transit that goes right WTZ to gates without your interference in any way. This would be good for folks with bad sec status that needed to be zipped into Highsec without a ship real quick and then zipped back (possibly for a higher fee in their case) or the rest of us if we commute any to our employment spot if you will. +++++++++++++++ For the LAST time...

ghost st	Posted - 2008.02.16 22:17:00 - [6] Whats happening in jita today the the exact reason why we need interbus, if we remove the need for everyone to go into 1 system to be able to easily fit their ship this is what you get. Courier if they worked would still get you as much lag because you just sending in someone in your place, and people wont go away from jita, they will clog it until is crashes, and when it comes back up they will al rush back in there. This should have been here a long time ago ffs, ive only heard about it ever since the first day i stared playing eve.
Kweel Nakashyn Minmatar Aeden Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2008.02.16 22:33:00 - [7] The problem is Interbus allows goods to be moved automatically. This will make prices even between the different market hubs : - Broker A is in Jita, with an Alt B in Rens. - Broker A see Rens' market with Alt B, buy stuff that he can sell at Rens with a profit. - Broker A ask Interbus to contract stuff to Rens. - Alt B get the package and sells. Broker A / Alt B can do this until Jita's price = Rens's price. Then he moves to another item. Prices will be made even in Empire, say, in a month. 2isk

This is very easy to combat though, you could limit the amount of stuff interbus could move, and the type of stuff it could move. You don't need to move everything t1/t2 fitting, drones, and ammo should be enough. Also interbus charges would include, number of jumps, total m3, and total cost of the item. Weapons Linking
Kylar Renpurs Dusk Blade	Posted - 2008.02.17 00:07:00 - [9] Psshht. Even easier. Limit interbus, like many other things, to intra-region only. Why's this going to work? 1. Different region hubs will maintain their price differences thanks to there being no way to automatically transfer items between regions. 2. It will still break apart Jita, dispersing characters across the region while still being able to do business in the one system, yet not requiring everyone to physically go there. 3. COURIER CONTRACTS WILL STILL BE IMPORTANT. If you're really lazy, you get interbus to haul the stuff to the edge of a region, and get the courier to do the final bit of legwork. OR you sit an alt in two neighbouring regions and to save isk, get a courier to do the one-jump. If interbus were an inter-regional service, then Alliances would just get a stupid logistical hold of their grounds. God knows I wish I could instantly transport POS fuel from Jita straight out to core 0.0 systems. Improve Market Competition!

Little Zandra Minmatar Funky Monkey Lovers	Posted - 2008.02.17 00:58:00 - [11] what i could agree on is limit it to region wide delivery so you buy the good from a distance and then get it moved to a diff system in the region at the transport costs and offcourse the higher the volume the more it costs that should reduce the load a bit i would hope.

Well ofc the more you have and the farther you are moving it the more expensive it is going to be.Prices should be a % of the original item cost (delivery should be an option only when buying) Weapons Linking
Brutoth Tain Independant Recon and Intelligence Agency	Posted - 2008.02.17 01:40:00 - [13] all it really needs is for the sellers/resellers who drop goods in Sobeseki and Perimeter to pick one station in those alternative to Jita systems and sell their stuff there. I'm positive a lot of players only go to Jita 4-4 because they can dock in one place and buy everything instead of undocking and flying around docking at all the spread out stations to collect their stuff. ---------------------------------------------- Piebears <3 Risk Vs Reward.......You take the risk they take the reward.
Vested Interest	Posted - 2008.02.17 03:04:00 - [14] quoted from another thread in Features: Originally by: Vested Interest Edited by: Vested Interest on 16/02/2008 06:03:08 personally I'd rather see a skill that lets anyone lease a small pool of transit drones for intra-empire transit. I suppose 3 classes of drones, single-implant size, single-module size, and maybe one that could haul like 400m3 of materials. Cost to use them would be not-expensive. Maybe even allow folks with idle unused drones to release them into a global transit pool for anyone's use (complete with queue system). You could right click on any asset in empire and say "dispatch to ... via transit drone" and it would take off immediately to deliver your goods. They would fly slow--like .5au/sec, and travel via gates, although they would not be visible objects in space. I suppose 2 of these drones per level would be sufficient for most anyone's needs. This wouldn't obviate the need for larger haulers, as there is a definite finite carrying capacity of anyone's transit drones. Good luck hauling a whole lot of fuel or materials at frigate sized slow loads. It might make the courier contractors unhappy though. I think it would lead to the leveling of intra-regional prices but as long as the regional markets stayed separate there wouldn't be a mass equalization of prices. Nobody would bother to use station-only orders for little things as it becomes simple to transfer stuff.
