9) now that shiva is supposed to be very well near completion; will you start to work on some of those low priority projects that were promised in the way back when. things such as cloaking, interbus ....
From: http://www.evegate.net/exclusives/int018.php
What was interbus? I thought it was nothing more than just another NPC corp? Was it suposed to ferry people around? Anyone have any ideas what interbus was orginally proposed as?

Perhaps not people, but items for sure.

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I hope it allows you to move items around

"...Interbus must offer service to all stations, placed in solar-systems that have a stargate leading to a solar-system that is a part of the program. Exempt to this rule are systems that exceed a graph distance of 13 jumps from the Interbus headquarters..."

in the early days (before release), Interbus was planned for PC transport if i remember correctly. But there were some issues preventing it from beeing implemented...and so the shuttles got introduced instead.
no police, no summons, no courts of law;
no proper procedure, no rules of war;
no mitigating circumstance;
no lawyers fees, no second chance! |

If I remember correctly, Interbus was orginally a way to get your ships from one place to another. So when you bought a ship 20 jumps away, you could have it delivered to you. Now it seems it may be a way to transport a person from station to station instantly so they can go pick up their ships/stuff without flying a shuttle over there.
But who knows at this point? We'll just have to wait and see.

 yeah the techniology the jove used and blew himself up with maybe used to transport you round when they ironed the bugs out. Maybe the joves will give us the technology as a gift for brining back the dead jove.

Right, and said tech will allow us to set up Interbus. Note that interbus (at first) only promises transportation 13 jumps from headquarters, from there on probably dotted as to where they have an office. Now where will that headquarter be?

Didn't CCP say on one of the CSM logs that Interbus was intended to allow people to pay for the transport of ore and other materials around? I seem to recall there was talk of various delivery speeds (next day, 3 days, etc) with prices related.
Having the ability to instantaneously transport people will have a fairly significant impact on game play, as would the ability to transport ships (if it were instantaneous). Just got pod-killed? Transport from your cloning facility to a convenient station, get Interbus to bring your BS there, go looking for revenge.
A touch unrealistic so lets hope it doesn't go there.

I think Interbus was for moving people just people... Which is a great idea!!!
I'm sick of paying for and losing a shuttle each time I wanna buy a new ship!
