Add Main Ship Transfer - you already did so for the ones we aren't in so...

[X-Terminator]

Get this added. If all we need is to transfer ourselves over long distances without say Cargo nor Missions then this just makes sense in the Galaxy of 400billion Stars. Of course it costs us and this is already the balance to Transfering other Ships. Just get this added. It makes sense.

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

But..eerr... What do we do in the mean time? Lol

Log off?
Doesn't seem like good gameplay to me. Lol

It's like Eve Onlines skill training. 3 months to learn a skill? No point paying the subscription then!

 

[Envy661]

No offense, but this is a dumb thought. And one people have been asking for since the dawn of the game. Travel there yourself. It is literally faster. They're not going to impliment a fast travel system in the game. No matter what form it takes.

 

[X-Terminator]

Look lads, fast travel is already here. It means you can plan your time better for your next session and take breaks. I have been playing lately for 6 to 10hours at a time. I have had eye infections from my CV1 and spots on my forehead from the length of wearing it. It really is important to take regular breaks but this game gets better by the day! Simply adding this is not about cheating but for health reasons and enjoyment. There really are times we do not need to sit for so long when we are just going from A-B without any Cargo nor Missions taken. This needs to happen. BTW the costs are huge to gain an advantage for any exploit. YOU TAKE A BREAK whilst you transfer your Ship. Why do you have to think this is not good when it serves you a healthier life and not locked constantly to your game? If you can afford to then so be it.

The game dose not need to play it self because your ill. I could play the same card with Epilepsy and being tired or asleep due to high doses of seizures medication side effects. Note my condition last forever. It not a infection or a cold. I have to learn to deal with it.

This (Though omg man, you triggered my grammar hard on this one).
The main point is, the game is not going to cater to you because you have trouble playing it. No game does this. It's why you have epilepsy warnings in most games these days. It doesn't change the causes being there. It just points out they are there.

Fast travel is not going to happen. You can cope with that undeniable fact and move on, or find another game to play. It's your choice. But simply put:

This needs to happen.

No it doesn't, and no it won't.

Lucky or unlucky for me strobe light Epilepsy dose not affect me. 1 If I had strobe light Epilepsy I would not have to take High dose medications because I could stop playing or stop what I doing before something happen. So we can see pros and cons with that.

What I have is Random Epilepsy so I have to take medications to keep them controlled. If not controlled I end up flopping around like a fish out of water. Then Walk and talk for 15 to 30 Minutes and don't remember what happen in that time period. We can say creepy.

But back to the topic. We can't use illness for supporting a idea.

Where?

So you are basically saying that we are holograms and as such should just be able to transfer us back and forth and whatever to whatever ship we want?

 

[X-Terminator]

Fast travel is here in our other Ship transfers at a luxurious cost. Say we simply want to go back to our home System to change Ships rather than switch with a Transfer. If you have totally nothing to gain by the route (no Cargo to trade, Scan Data to sell, Missions, etc.) then it surely is better to take a break during the Transfer time and come back fresh. Nothing major will happen - if you got nothing worth pirating, you would've used filter scoopable Stars and Scoop at a fast rate, etc.

It does already exist - all that is different is you are AFK during this Ship Transfer. THIS MUST HAPPEN.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Summoning a ship currently stored in a different dock to one's current location is not "fast travel", in my opinion, as the CMDR does not move during the transfer (unless the player moves them that is).

 

[Hydrino]

Interesting and future looking idea. In Season 5, if I can walk around and board another ship and ride along to another system, and buy a ship there, there is essentially little difference to this proposal.

I hope FD are thinking about things like this for future major expansions, because there are going to be huge inconsistencies in the game logic. In this type of conversation I define realism as ED being internally consistent and logical, based on how we understand things work in the game world, not literally 'realistic'. And there are already unrealistic and therefore 'immersion breaking' things about ED.

The logic follows. But FD won't follow the logic. Like having a skimmer technology for player SRV instead of wheels on the ground. It will be curious to see populated Earth-likes or even future Horizons ports on airless worlds, where everyone (NPCs and players) still drives cars with wheels on the ground instead of skimmering around or using small ships. Should FD do away with Skimmers to keep the game logical to the premise?

I think FD will keep player travel tied to a ship they must fly for now. The majority of players that care enough to speak up (based on the previous ship transfer poll) would not support the transfer of player's current ship. But that makes me wonder how they will handle walking around/ EVA/ Elite Feet travel scenarios.

If they remove all options for profit and take the player out of the game until the transfer is complete, it is a very logical proposal. And it isn't "fast travel" because it will take longer than the player could do it on their own.

 

[X-Terminator]

For the Skimmer tech vs SRV. I think they can not hold both our weight and 2t of Cargo plus they also would certainly not on Hi-Grav Planets. They move slowly as you'd expect. I was expecting a variety of vehicles from the beginning. Same for Fighter Orders. Most things come along and just stay as they are with a "that'll do them" approach.

YES Main Ship Transfer is an obvious addition and would not take any harm due to the costs of transfers. It's neither a cheat nor exploit and is treating yourself as a Passenger which also is there.

I really think the NPC Crew should be taking a seat in cockpit when ACTIVE now that we have our own characters also. They obviously go into the hanger when any player Crew join.

It needs all loose ends tied and connected. If you don't like these then you are not forced to use them!

 

[Robert Maynard]

Players cannot disembark from the ship they are crewing in Multi-Crew, indeed they are only "onboard" via telepresence - therefore they are not passengers.

 

[Lestat]

Let point out flaws here. When a user transfer a ship right now. Dose it not take time to do so? What if the player feel like playing while going to Point A to Point B in your idea.

Use mega-ships to transport CMDRs ships to Colonia

Get this added. If all we need is to transfer ourselves over long distances without say Cargo nor Missions then this just makes sense in the Galaxy of 400billion Stars. Of course it costs us and this is already the balance to Transfering other Ships. Just get this added. It makes sense.

Seems to me that would be a great mechanic to introduce with the "mega" ships: Scheduled, weekly, ten-day long runs to Colonia hauling CMDRs ships (with the CMDRs locked inside their ships) as it was portrayed in the sci-fi movie DUNE. The CMDR would be helpless and his ship unable to move for the 10 days it is locked inside the mega-ship (he could sit in his ship and look out the windows, play with outfitting, repairs, etc.) and the cost would have to be enormous but the CMDR would not have to actually fly his ship to Colonia himself and if he or she wants to drain their credit account moving their entire fleet to Colonia then, so be it.

 

[X-Terminator]

Yes I like the use of Mega Ship Transportation else they make no sense.

Lads, you are not getting it so here it is once again. It has nowt to do with Multi-crew.
If you can order your Ship to fly to a Dock you are presently located then the same should be true to set course to transport your Current Ship to another location and you are a Passenger. It is rather bleeding obvious why you would require this - TO PROVIDE A BREAK ONCE IN A WHILE FROM PLAYING OVER LONG HOURS whilst continue your next intended game plan! It will cost you and will not be of any exploit what so ever as you will not gain money nor time to get anywhere faster. THIS IS TO GET YOU INTO YOUR GAME PLAN WITHOUT GETTING SO TIED TO A BLEEDING COMPUTER! You would not be required to sit at your PC as you would not see it fly just the same as your other Ships. It would need to remove you from the game and Exit to Main Menu. It would then be your own choice whether you take a break or try some CQC or Training Missions (if that's what you require).

You are responsible for maintaining your own health.
You are an adult, make the decision yourself to take a break.
Failure to take a break from a computer game to the extent that is it negatively effecting your health is no ones fault or care or responsibility beyond your own.
The game should not be changed to cater for your inability to look after your own health.

Personal responsibility.
Personal Accountability.

Rather than Demand things from others, Demand from yourself that you actually do the minimum to look after yourself.

If you cannot do this, I genuine suggest you contact a health line, as they may be an addition or some other requirement for such escapism

Summoning a ship from a remote location to one's current location is totally different, in my opinion, from engaging an "autopilot" to fly one's ship (while one's CMDR is in it) from one's current location to another location.

The former is a timesaving feature that means one can still play the game while a ship is being transferred - the latter is a way to avoid playing the game, the game where travel is a fundamental requirement of gameplay.

Remember this. It our Responsibility to provide the breaks. It not Frontiers RESPONSIBILITY .

It like It our Responsibilty to stop driving when we feel tired while driving or we could hurt our self and other people. That called thinking smart. Or when I ride my ATV/Quad. It my Responsibility to have the right Gear (Helmet Pads and such) before I go riding in the mountains.

Frontier Should not be our doctor or our Gym. It a game It our own responsibility for our own actions and heath.
