We need taxis, all to often when you buy a new ship you have to travel a long way and leave your old ship behind, unless you grab yourself an escape pod and go collect it in that, which can be very risky (or a basic n00b ship, but that could also be risky, if the route is through low sec space).
I think an NPC Taxi corp that ferry's players from A to B for a price would be good.
The price would vary depending on the following:
* The destination system security, and the security of the systems en route.
* The desired level of security the player would want (i.e. just a taxi, or a convoy, like you see with various rulers, like the president, travelling anywhere, with loads of police and whatnot)
* The distance between A and B
I also think you could create a medium or low slot "passenger bay" or something similar with a required skill to operate it, so that you can get Player Corps also acting as taxis.

Great Idea, one which I was infact about to post myself, but one question which you can help me with, you say you can get a POD, the only way to be eject from your ship in space would't it? Is there anyway to launch from a base in your POD?
Again the idea of players setting up a Taxi Corp is great, this would give us an interesting money making scheme to just mining (I think the goods trading element of the game is rather weak -- anybody else agree with that?)
Anyway, Cheers.

Just saw the news, they must have liked my idea so much they implimented it straight away :E (or they already thought of it, them CCP are always stealing ideas :P)
Well, it's close enough, but it doesn't mention anything about player run "space shuttles" - might be an idea for a future patch I think :)

Thought I'd put this idea forward again as "Space shuttles" don't seem to be all that they're *****ed up to be

I though space shuttles would be like taxies
but they are not. They are pretty useless in fact. How again are they supposed to help me get my ships into one place? Thats right they cant... they are just another type of ship. The only way shuttles could be usefull is if you could fit them into most cargo bays, but no, no chance, not even in an indy! What a bunch of crap.

lol the shuttles are only 10grand, and they run 400m/s, jsut buy a shuttle when you need it, then when you pick up your new ship, stick it on the market for 9,999 isk.. its guarnteed to sell if your in a high trafic station. and all you lose is 1isk.

They STILL should allow ships to be packaged and hauled as cargo. Perhaps not all in one ship, maybe two runs or variable dependant on the ship.
Sadly this taxi/hauling idea has come up before and shuttles were the solution that arrived.

should be able to take passengers and charge em for it, that would solve the problem, create a player based taxi service.
