All my ships are in Shinrarta, the system is surrounded by Feds.... While if I join a power, it will be empire. Fun.I'm probably going to end up moving my ships, but only because the 'base' I have them parked in will be owned by a power opposed to the one I'll pledge with. That should be fun, with at least 5 ships parked in the garage, and close to 200 LY to move them to be closer Imperial space.
Just wasted 2 1/2 hours moving ships
- Thread starter Distance
- Start date
I am all for updates & such, but would like some kind of time table as to when the things a lot of us are waiting on & have prepaid for are coming. Like multi crew (walking around the ship as well as planet landings & yes fps) I know there are a few that are not interested in this but lets keep in mind these are the updates that some of us prepaid for & it would go a long way to strengthen the companies image & credibility. Love the game but am waiting for rest of what was sold to us.

It's a smart move if anyone plans on joining a PP faction.
Pity the fool who parked half their ships behind enemy lines once they aggro on sight.

Agreed we have needed some sort of automated ship relocation.
Agreed we need a Module store option and to me this should of been in place before the -10% sell back.
I have basically stripped down my combat Annie to a trade runner, doing this in 1.3 would have cost me 65mil to do and thats a huge kick in the ..... , not to mention the 23mil i would of lost turning the Tank Python into a BH and mission Python. Sold off the rest of my ships till i decide what im doing in 1.3 but in all honesty 1.3 is looking like a grindfest.

I don't mind the 10% hit, honestly, though I would certainly appreciate it if my ship could be moved without me having to manually do it. Pay fee. Wait x time. Big cargo ship arrives at station X and ship is placed in a hangar.
I suspect what is missing for this, though, is a big bad cargo vessel capable of carrying multiple Anaconda and T-9 sized ships.
Would make it interesting if it could actually be attacked, disabled, defended etc.. Though Im getting ahead of myself now.
I'd love to be able to have my ships sent to a station of my choice, and modules stored, would make life more fun. And I'd have a reason to fly my Cobra again. Can't be bothered making the 200Ly trip to grab it, at the moment...
I just mentally synchronised those words with your avatar. Very amusing.

I moved all of my ships to Jameson after I got the permit so I know what it's like to move a fleet. Not fun.
im also going to prep my fleet for the module change assuming they are stupid enough to put that in the live build.

I agree with the moving ships thing - it is something I've wished for myself. You could even do instantaneous moves without 'break the lore' - you just need to be able to sell you ships from anywhere. Then you could sell your Viper that is 200ly away and rebuy the same spec locally. I'd even pay a fee for this.
There are other things you should be able to do remotely too - like turn in 'local' bounties. Then you don't have to make that special trip just to get it off your list. Again, make the 'agents' take a % fee - you'd save that in fuel and ing-around time.

Why didn't you just sell your ships and rebuy them nearer to where you were moving?
@OP, while I was picking on you with my earlier post, I do understand. I have multiple ships too and have to decide if I want to sell off my type-9 or strip it now and just fly my Clipper. I understand the 10% fee, but wish they would allow you to store modules, as a battle cow is expensive to return to a space cow at 10%.
You should be able to hire someone to do it for you.
Hire cheap, you get a Mostly Harmless n00b and run a high risk of losing your ship if it gets set upon by bandits.
The more you pay the more experienced the pilot, the lower the risk of ship loss, expensive damage, or even cargo loss if you left it loaded.
Not that I'm suggesting buying a hold full of contraband and then hiring a Deadly pilot to be your mule...

Ah, yes, that HOSTILE mechanic! Forgot about that.
If this was a mechanic ED would be the best game in history xD.
I think having commanders move your ships would be amazing. Not only would it be convenient but it would add a world of depth to the trader/courier role. You could have the other commander pay an insurance fee if they lost the ship, so the risk would be potentially high but could pay well too.
Just my 2 cent worth of rant...begin rant:
What is this the dark ages? Is it not like 3300 something? No one ever heard of a taxi service. I mean come on, I am sure Yellow Cab has got to be around still and what about all those high and mighty Fed senators and presidents or those Elitist lords and barons of the Empire? I am sure their just being shuttle around in the lap of luxury in their nice little space yachts from system to system. What about us little guys? No taxis, no rent a limo, nothing.
End rant:
Man I feel a little better now

Agreed , its dumb, with all these NPC ships, randomly appearing ( not going anywhere from anywhere) at RES & Nav points, with no support, ( ie Carriers ) to refuel or rearm those ships and NO support for Player ships to be towed by you or moved to another destination by a hired NPC pilot, or even a Player set missions "move my ship" , a persistent universe that makes sense, ED is not.

Like Han Solo blasting his way off Tatooine!
The tricky part will be sneaking back in with a Sidewinder to recover the next ship.
