I’m waiting for someone to get the inevitable job offered at Hutton Orbital that isn’t noticed when it’s accepted
APEX shuttle service footage from GamesRadar show

- Start date
Time wise I see it as a minor immersion effect of traveling in SC within system, after all it still is Elite (just pay attention to distances lol) and HS jumps are what 30s to hit SC? If you are the pilot then not as much boredom but pretty much the same really, just sitting there messing around.
It's the people that will play solely non-ship/pilot role that will have to make decisions on how to get to far away ports o call which is what I am curious about.
The FC module for feet dwellers is interesting or running shuttles but that would get dicey, especially with the slave trade mining boom
.I can't wait to gank npc shuttles carrying rambo wannabees. Lol imagine the salt if this becomes a thing. 
Two minutes is a long time to be not doing much (he says a year into lockdown during a global pandemic). I don’t know if there’s a way to do it that pleases everybody, so it might be better to err towards the solution that irritates people for a few seconds rather than a few minutes.
That Adder looks massive.
If Apex is faster than manual travel then folks will be pushed into interacting with the game less.
I think it's more for folks that wanted better SC assists or autodocks. Simply have a NPC fly you there.
...then call carrier there with all your fleet
- complete automatic traveling.

Bonus points if you somehow can see a shuttle with CMDRs on board...

I wonder, will it work inside station? Because ... how can you see all those instanced ships flying around while you sit in bar.
I wonder how instancing works at all.Block lists rulez

Is the interior a different instance? Will you see only the CMDRs who came by ship into your instance?
Really wondering.
And I wonder if you can headshot people in the starport
Most likely will do as any other MMO do. For example SWTOR's instance can handle less then 300 people. So at best days you could see 20 instances in the same village and nobody around and full chatI wonder how instancing works at all.

Interesting that you can hail a shuttle direct from a planetary surface.
So all the stiars have been removed in Odyssey and we're beamed inside the ship like NMS?
Lots of people from the FPS community don’t want to fly, because the way Elite is teleporting should not be used regarding ship travel it’s enough we got it in multi crew, I don’t mind to be idle as long as my taxi transport me, it’s a part of the immersion.
Wooo ! Player transfer !
I really hope there is an immersion timer where you sit in the shuttle for the transfer time.

It's done in real time.
Attacks on your way to the destination should entirely be possible, especially when you have an active dangerous mission. There should be a choice of taxi ships available. Hire something bigger but also more expensive when expecting trouble. If your taxi is capable of carrying fighters, you could help in the fight directly through that. At least get something that has some turrets or missile pods. so you can man that.
I guess you will be sitting in co pilot chair, thats why they picked Adder, instead of for example Hauler.
