Passenger Mission Preperations(?)

[Alex Brentnall]

Sooo you want Truck-Simulators meets The Sims in space?

Possibly but with a bit more adventure in there. It'd add a hell of a lot more to the mechanic than just a point-point cargo.
Could have wanted passengers that gets you targeted by enemy ships, you have the option to give the passenger up at a cost of X and gain of Y (Fed/Emp rank) or the alternative which is fight for gain of Y and loss of X reputation.

All I'm saying is hidden types that you can work out using some as yet unknown game mechanic would spice it up a lot especially if you don't use that game mechanic and suddenly you have a corvette wing interdicting you requesting you surrendered a wanted passenger!

Time will tell, in my opinion FD has been hit or miss with some of their implemented updates, CQC being one of the larger sins.

CQC needs to be tied to the main game to be really efficient, not only with player versus player but with some player versus NPC too.

It needs to be a video game on space stations when you have to wait at a bar for your contact or some such...

Which means no explorer can play it.

Unless you mean the option, in which case sure, why not

The best way to deal with this is to have the arenas in the main game in some of the systems, if a player wants to play and there is no one there the matchmaking should pair you with the AI, as soon a cmdr arrives the players should be place together.

Easy and effective.

Yeah I meant it as an option.

No because

also you should not play it with your actual ship nor lose your ship on destruction.

Well, just make the cqc with bots then ;-)

I've been transporting passengers around for months already!

They are called Slaves....

Heck.. I'll settle for piloting the Wedding Barge..

Got a screenie by any chance, I'm 25,000Ly from sol but am very very interested in passengers.

You might change your mind one day...

Do you have a picture? Somehow, I have never noticed that.

Yep, by chance I do. This one was taken 15/05/15. Down on the left hand side of the terminal. Might well just be large pads at the palm tree stations that have them, but I'm sure I've spotted similar vehicles elsewhere, probably my imagination though.

Here is the long overdue screenshot. It says "Loading Area" at the foot of the bus.

The lights around the base of those palm trees make me wonder if they are holographic
