My solution to Instant ship transfer which also adds a much requested element to the game.
AI wing-men..
2.2 will bring us AI wing-men why not add this as a full feature into 2.2 enabling solo players to escort/be escorted by up to 3 of there own ships with the help of the AI in a wing of 4 to the desired destination at say 75% of the furthest jump range in the wing(or maybe 3x the lowest jump range), this would not bypass the hard limit of 4 ships in a wing, you could say have 2 Human controlled ships and 2 AI.
This would and could lead to all sorts of emergent game-play and would make traveling far more interesting than it is now or would be with instant transfer,
As the ship you want to take with you is coming along for the ride it would be to all intents and purposes be instant as you would arrive together as for the matter of losing your escorted ship/s the insurance buy back could stay the same.
this would also make you consider the risk of bringing 3 ships with you and what to choose for your wing.
Plus it would be a boon for traders/Miners and far more fun for attacking pirates and would balance up the current 4 vs 1 in pirating and PVP which is rife since wings and would also encourage leveling up your AI pilots
if you read this FD could we please have kws/cargo scanning during an interdiction with the option to break off the attack.
I've scanned through the threadnoughts and not seen anything like this suggested sorry if i've missed it.
/thoughts?
Edit : I know this wouldn't help with off the cuff ship summoning but most cmdrs travel with a plan in 2.1 I don't see why that would change.
