It can only be assumed by people bringing it up that this is how it would be, no one officially said. Of course no one officially said you have to use the feature in the first place either.

Christ ..... You know I'm outa this thread ...
I seem to be thinking more that you thats for sure.
Wow, there sure are a lot of people who are scared of change. What's wrong with adding in a quality of life feature that takes away the tedium of jumping over and over just to get my miner somewhere? I don't see how it's game breaking. I just see a bunch of "old man yells at cloud" who want everyone to do everything the hard way because gat dang it that's the way we did it back in my day and it was good enough for us, it'll do for you, too, whether you like it or not.
If they ever plan on using it, which I thought they would be sooner or later... apparently not.
I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who volunteers to mod this site. Hope the NHS covers the councilling
Yeah thread's over imo. The past 50 pages are all the same arguments.
I'm starting to wonder how some people are even able to play the game currently...
I've just been eating the loss on the various ship changes I've made since release.
And you would play it 60hrs and then move on.
Elite , is ment to be played for thousands and thousands of hours.
And I hope that idea continues onwards
I'd never, ever thought about that within last two years of my amazing funtimes with Elite Dangerous. As feeling so passionate about the game since so long now, pondering about the possible future features of my beloved realm from time to time, was even spicing up my joy out of what I was already able to have fun with...
...and I'd probably be laughing about a comment as yours, Shar. If it was few days ago.
Everything changed suddenly!! I'm totally surprised about it myself. If one cant see now the outcome of how this extremely important new feature will change the overall gameplay and space travels mechanics, one simply lacks of imagination and knowledge of how and why the gameplay works as it does now. With all the respect to those who don't see it.
...as suddenly I can sign myself with both hands under your quoted post, Shar. Something got broken inside me. Someone kicked me in the stomach... I'm feeling as the idea behind the vision of Elite Dangerous is no longer beeing served for me. As like the developers would be in need of some new strategy to attract attention of 15 years old players now, which play the game for ca. 20 hours and that's it. And like this would be the updated business/development plan of the creators of my beloved computer-generated realm, their new target... Not me anymore. Not guys like me, I was meeting on my adventures and hopped for dozens more of such amazing experiences, not anymore...
It's not only this feature we're so passionate discussing here..., "tele-presence" is a bit of a lazy development shortcut as well imho. It's just when you sum up those recently announced features and ponder on the way they're going to be implemented..., it hit me suddenly! Scared me. As I just feel it now, deep in the flesh of my body the road being picked by Mr. Sandro and his crew might be the road towards "No Man's Sky" audience now. Which is absolutely unacceptable by me!!!
So yes..., if this is true. I don't want to invest any more of my time into Elite Dangerous. It was brilliant fun, but I was always aiming for a hobby for 10 years. But not like this..., not like this
Please.........
(cries alone in the corner now...)
I think send is a good idea .. would need to link to the galaxy map though, yikes .. so probably not the instant fix it first appears probably.

Possible workaround solution:
(i) from your startpoint you select the station where you want your other ship to fly to. This costs money based on ly travelled out to the destination, maybe requiring you having an ai crewman 'qualified' to fly said ship? At this pointo the transported ship is removed from the shipyard inventory and is listed as 'in transit'.
(ii) You fly to the station in question in your actual ship
(iii) Upon arrival under the contacts page on the station menu you select something like 'receive ship'
(iv) ship appears in shipyard inventory.
A happy medium, perhaps?

Which is a fair point...
Except it messes with my game (see Slopey's points on this).
So I can't ignore it very easily.
A timed transfer means everyone wins. Those who like the immersion get to keep it. Those who want to ignore it are fine. Those who want their ships moved around without having to taxi to them are happy. Even those who must have pew-pew this instant have Arena.
Instant only gratifies a subset of the above.
On the scale of things, I think these are small compared to instantly moving a ship around the galaxy.
Because it's pretty much all that could be said on the subject... either you are pro original design philosophy or instant gratification. Everything else - including the rectification of the system as proposed - is just speculation.
...that's about as reassuring as finding arsenic pellets in your dinner!
Or you could, you know, just fly to or buy the appropriate ship and then fly IT there... doesn't seem so dramatically difficult. I think you might have been cutting your nose off to spite your face not taking part in CGs just cos you're not in the 'right' ship...
Less than half a day, actually. But that's another problem.
The snipped stuff, I agree with, of course.
You just do a time stamp check when the client looks in the shipyard or shipping UI. If FD servers aren't capable of handling this... Moot point, of course they are. [downcast]
