Asking for a friend...

In EDO, will you be able to travel around the galaxy without a ship? Like go to colonia?
How long would it take? How will travel time be defined? What will it cost for a ticket?

How will you be transported around on a planet if you don’t have a ship, will there be shuttle services you can use? Will instant teleporting be a thing like in multi crew 🤔🙃 ?

can you join the military and go on mission with them?

I reckon it'll be very close to how multicrew works (difference being that you need to be in the same location as the ship you want to board), and getting a lift anywhere means you'll be twiddling your thumbs as the trip will occur in real time.

Good question re Colonia i.e. what happens if you log off, will you remain on the ship (like when docked on a FC)? Would make sense I suppose, although that would mean player ships would need to be made permanent similar to FCs.

I believe the topic of being able to play without a ship was addressed in the first video and the answer was yes. As to being able to get all the way to colonia etc. I don't know. My guess is you can only go to places that have a "truck stop" so to speak.

If it's really going to be the way I imagine it to be I wonder if it'll end up being used as much as multicrew (i.e. barely). And what happens if the ship you're flying in as a PAX disconnects for whatever reason? Eject to nearest startport? Will be interesting to see how this works out.

Edit - and also whether there will be NPC taxis doing certain routes, or whether this will be purely player driven - imagine the latter if FC trading is anything to go by.

Some kind of shuttle service would be nice.
Got some of my old FPS buddies who don’t want to fly at all, all they want is to gunho so that’s why I’m asking.

I'd imagine you couldn't get a ride with Apex Interstellar to go all the way out to Colonia from the bubble.

However, if Fleet Carriers had nice interiors, you could book passage with a player on theirs... (hint hint fdev)

It was described in a dev diary as using the taxi service to another port "within jump range". So I imagine we are talking about generally jumping around within a system, and at furthest jumping to a neighbouring system. I would guess you could jump from one side of the bubble to the other but very slowly?

As a tangent to this discussion, I wonder if Apex could be augmented by fleet carriers for long haul transfers. Probably not, but its a thought. Not in game, anyway. Players will find a way, I'm sure.

It depends how far but around the same time as flying probably.

Apex maybe or hitch a ride with another commander.

These and other questions could be answered by playing the Alpha or asking a PC based player after the 29th

As I heard you can't ride vast distances when "legged". Which is a shame - initially I imagined it might be playable as complete alternative to the grind-your-metaship that ED has devolved into.
