Needed Soon - Send Ship Ability

[shadragon]

Was in Maia last night. Planned to go to Deciat in my Conda, get an FSD boost, then pick up my FDL for a bit of RES bounty hunting. Went to Deciat, called for the FDL, did the FSD boost on the first roll, then sat there for 20 minutes more waiting for the FDL.

I don't mind the transit delay, but having the ability to send my FDL to Deciat BEFORE I leave Maia would be appreciated. Then the ship is there waiting for me on arrival, instead of me sitting unproductively.

Thank you and Happy New Year.

I was thinking a nice QOL improvement would be to have ship transfers send ships to any station with an active shipyard would be nice. The only issue would be that it would likely create a whole bunch of new salt as people would say this makes it too easy on the PVPers...

Or some such non-sense...

Only if the station you are sending the ship to is a station you have visited at some time.
But with the above condition it sounds like a good idea.

Since that makes the transfer delay completely redundant, I can't see this idea being implemented.

That's what we get when the community votes and this is why we can't have nice things.

Agreed, to all of the above.

I actually was for this aspect of the transportation system,
before we got what we have now, allowing for tactical
placement of ships, still slowed by the transport timer.

Transport timer is still in effect. This just allows pre-positioning when travelling over long distances.

I'd really like to see this. Have wasted so much time waiting for ships and modules to arrive and it's usually not possible to do missions while waiting as I make the trip in the taxi cab. That usually leads to old Netflix or turning the game off for an hour whilst I find something better to do.
