A little wish for gameplay directors about Apex transportation getaway ship.

Im on the side of the NPC, Its just feels that the NPC settlement bases are bullied too much! They need to restrict the Apex Transportation after an assasination or crime was committed!

For like 20 mins of under investigation mode! Apex Transporation will not allow you to book in just a short period of time. Since you are wanted already they need to put on the script something like this : "An Apex Pilot was arrested and under investigation we are currently not allowed to accept Bookings until we settle the problem, please try again in a few minutes -APEX Management "

Add more reward on those Badguy Missions so that the 20 mins restriction is worth it.

If the gameplay is like this the new players will think "OH I SHOULD BUY MY OWN SHIP SO I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT ANYTIME!"

For me having this kind of gameplay will add a little emotion to a player like laugh, guilty, nervous or scared, it depends on a persons personality! It will also add some emotions to the game. Because for me the dialogue just feels so generic and I feel like Im also an AI playing with the NPCs. Hehehh

PS. Sorry for other CMDRs! I know they may think that Im dumb for saying these things. But I hope someone can correct and arrange this thread the proper way (My language is not English).

Thank you so much! I love you all CMDRs!

Sincerely,

Ah, suggesting 20min wait time in the middle of a mission? I can here the storm approaching

Ps. I think it is a good idea, but even for a roleplay kind of player like me 20min wait might be a bit too much.
 
Clearly you do not understand the whole "mile wide, inch deep" philosophy!
Shame on you
This just a simple timer and some text, not that deep! An it one of those suggestions Frontier could implement in a Alpha. An I think it has potential. I also like the idea that when a base goes into lock down, that you have a illegal transport service you can you to get to the base but is a lot more expensive.

Nope, what I mean is after the mission is done, You cant book another mission trip for 20 mins due to the consquence you made earlier.
 
Remember that an Apex taxi isn't just for going places. It's also how an on-foot player transfers stuff from ship storage to suit and vice versa. I've already summoned a taxi once just to get some extra energy cells out of ship storage - you can do that in the blue circle without boarding the taxi.

If you couldn't do that as easily as recalling a ship of your own, no-one would ever play purely as an on-foot player.
 
the only reason we are using apex is because we can't have ships at the moment, the settlements are harrassed because there are only missions to go hammer them, and we are only limited to one system during alpha test phase 1.. so, that'd be a fix for.. a few days?

I'm not sure.. :)
 
Yep, the APEX is just for the first hour of gameplay. ED is a spaceships game, so I can`t see any reason why getting a sidewinder shouldn`t be a priority for any new player.
