+REP there!
-getting from A to B is boring, and is just a lot of J-pressing
-The galaxy is tiny anyway in a world where ships can go 50 LY in a minute of travel
-Ship balance based around jump range was an idiotic idea in the first place
-No ship should have a laden jump range under 20LY to begin with, it's absurdly tedious to get anywhere
-Everyone was already using taxis, and will continue to do so
-We're talking about a QoL feature, your "immersion" is meaningless
Believe it or not, I agree with you 95%. But addressing this via ship transfers and taxis is a fundamentally flawed and overwrought bureaucratic solution. And it only works for inhabited systems.
If they just increase the jump range of a handful of ships (Corvette, FDL, Vulture, Viper, etc) and then give us a real usable Neutron/WD Highway, then the solution to an open galaxy will be well in hand.

If the need is high enough, you'll just drive the thing there as it'd be quicker in 90% of cases. Six to nine million credits to move a ship 120 LY at twice the time it'd normally take to arrive is not a bargain under any circumstances.

Okay, THAT is a reasonable point. I can agree with that.

Rarely have I agreed with you, but today I have to ask:
You wanna like, hang out? Go check out chicks at the mall. Grab a chimichanga (for me ((you can have one, too))).
no ur boring

But why is it useless?... I just used it at Deciat... I flew there in my Cutter and summoned my Eagle, Cobra, iEagle, Courier, Hauler and Sidewinder...
Much less hassle than flying abck and forth myself.
Seems legit

And all of those were small ships. Try transferring your Cutter somewhere. Lemme know how that goes.
Why would I want to do that. My cutter is my travelling ship. It's as safe as houses..

Just adding the word fallacy to the end of a comment doesn't invalidate it..
Oh look, it's that DragoonKnight fallacy *again*.
Sounds legit.
I love my hauler! Don't diss my baby!
In a debate, a fallacy is an argument that doesn't really make sense or doesn't have evidence to back it up. So yes, a fallacious argument renders itself moot. Slippery slope fallacies are especially common.

Boo
Boo haulers
Boooooo
As far as I'm concerned I think the reduction in price was needed but possibly not as high as 50%, maybe 35% and further tweaks to the price when FD have an idea what sort of usage transfer is getting. Going straight for the 50% won't really allow adjustment without causing a serious backlash. There is no way at all I would suggest it was increased beyond 50% though.
As it stands it's a fair compromise and at least now I may not waste too much time thinking about wether it's worth moving a ship or not.

Not as safe as completely risk free ship transfer. Certainly the fact that any and all potential risk in travel being eliminated should be worth a premium price.
What danger is there in flying a Cutter ayway? Even the smallest shields give you ludicrous protection.
Watching Netflix because they have the attention span of a goldfish and were getting bored during the 37 seconds of hyperspcace travel and forgetting to throttle down and hitting the gravity well, overheating, taking damage, and incurring a million in damage...just to name one.
That's a good thing. You *want* people to use the things you spent the time and effort to put into the game; otherwise there's no point putting them in the game.
Good point. We should get rid of the time delay to stop that from happening.
If they didn't have heatsinks equipped, I can't see how that would be marked as a normal risk. That's just inattentive driving.
I've been reading through this thread and I see a whole lot of "if this happens then this will definitely happen!!" I think people should put away the crystal balls they seem to be peering into and just play the game. People who want to use the feature will use and those who don't like it won't use. Pretty simple idea that doesn't require all the foreboding of things that will come to pass when in fact no one knows for sure.
I guess in the future fortune-telling is still a thing! Who knew?!
