Why are Interbus transports never seen in game space? I think there should really be an Interbus system and that, for a relatively modest fee, it should be possible for players to load and transport pods on it, safely (well, relatively safly) through empire space (attacking an Interbus ship would be possible, with the likelihood of success linked to the system's sec level, of course, use usual.. if the attack is successful and the Interbus ship is destroyed, the attackers would take sec status hits as usual, and the player pods carried onboard (and there might be more than one) would be expelled into space. An Interbus button would be present on most empire stations.. upon selection by a player (who has already left an active ship and is a pod), the player would specify a destination, pay the required fee, and then
"board" the shuttle for the service.
Interbus would add realism to the game, and allow a means for players in militia or with poor standings to move, harmlessly, through, rival enemy space (without unbalancing the game, since they would not be allowed to bring their ships with them). |

Would be a nice add-on of high sec. However, would deal with people at war with each other. Example hostil pod pays fee to leave station, same time his wts are camping station waiting for him. |

I like this idea. In fact, the mechanics of this could be applied towards docking in maintenance bays of ships as you do stations I think.
Why do people play Amarr? Because unlike the other races, Amarr characters are much more difficult to play. |

i think super caps should be only ships you can do this. but if you were to add it toother cap ships then i say it be required the cap pilot must launch the ships in maintenance bay and the pods leave the clone vat bay with a wait time of 10 seconds to dock his ship recently cast out into space. |

this could be implemented by having InterBus run scheduled routes between certain major trade hubs
eg Jita - Gelfiven - Amarr - Teonosude - Hek etc etc
the "buses" just keep going round and round. the good part is that you can move while logged off! you should be able to "book" yourself on an incoming ship from the designated stop point and then arrange where you will "get off" the ship.
for example, say you are in Orvolle and want to get to Jita but want to do it stealthily then you bring up the InterBus schedule and select the next transport from Orvolle to Jita (that may go via other stops first), pay the standard fee and if you have to log off your character will still get from Orvolle to Jita regardless of whether you are logged in or out. You would simply log in to find yourself in Jita 4-4 instead of Orvolle where you logged out.
a good idea methinks

if you were logged in while using an InterBus transport you would have your usual view (3rd person, able to spin around and zoom in/out) but you would have no mod slots and other options. the only option you have is to eject/leave the ship.
if the transport gets suicide ganked then you get kicked out into space rather than podded.

what exactly would stop people from shooting these things every time they see them. They would work exactly like the transport npcs in high sec, where you can shoot them and only take a hit to the corporation they belong to. Hell would be an easy way to pod the crap out of people.. approach ship with smartbombing bs, take it out and all the pods its carrying, this would make for insanely easy grief play. |
