***POLL NOW CLOSED*** IMPORTANT, OFFICIAL SHIP TRANSFER POLL

[Princess Nia]

ship transfer better be instant, there's a lot of other things in this game that are instant / dont make plausible sense

instant teleporting 400+ TONS of cargo to your ship
instant teleporting back to station once you die
multicannons and lasers dumping heat into your ship
and a multitude of other things

 

[ROSS-128]

The wording of the second option is oddly specific. I would have just said "should be proportional to distance".

 

[CMDR Zhon Daeli]

It took me half a second to decide I didn't need to consider my decision at all: Instant-transfer ( of anything ) in this game should not be allowed.
Voted.

Hello Commander bitstorm!

That's very good advice.

Have a real chew on this one before making your final decision.

It´s not that much. We´ll have our ship transfer anyway.
With a delay? Just plan in advance. More thought, more fun

Hello Commander CMDR Pugwash!

The delivery time would be a minimum of around five minutes, representing basic logistics of getting your ship loaded into a bulk carrier, followed by an additional time cost per light year to be travelled. The ballpark we are looking at would mean a delay of around 100 minutes if you transfered a ship from one edge of human space to the other (around 300 light years).

Using my Pidgin back of a ciggie packet maths, that makes about 5 days to Jaques, which I think is reasonable; if Jaques is even on the end of the bus route?

 

[wally walford]

would rather be a mandetory 12 hours, so in some cases actually going to pick up your ship would be prefered

 

[DustyArne]

Thank you Sandro for this.

And Voted.

THIS is something smart Thx

 

[Arry]

Why won't you make both options viable with a price tag on the transfer depending on distance?

Longer distance = more expensive to instantly transfer.

Let players pick how long they want to wait and let them pay accordingly.

It will give the advantage to those whom have lots of credits.

It would also be interesting to see what the costs are and how they are worked out.

Also: In this cut-throat galaxy; what is the risk of loosing said ship, during transport, like any other cargo?

 

[tarragon]

Method of using voting for things like this is very good.

 

[Balcanis]

Voted. Click delay damn it This is not a Facebook game.

 

[GluttonyFang]

It will give the advantage to those whom have lots of credits.

But what's the competition o.o?

Even in Power Play credits = advantage.

Bulk carrier eh? When do we see these flying around and how do they dock.

Oh, and how much is one?

 

[Andovar]

To all the people who say FD doesn't listen to the community, I say pfffffftttttt!

Thanks Sandro.

 

[Valorin]

Thank's a lot for giving us this opportunity. That's not usual, but awesome!

I have a question for those that think it shouldn't be instant: What would non-instant ship transfer add to the gameplay that instant transfer doesn't? Would you seriously be ok with halting game sessions for literally no other reason than "immersion"?

 

[Darth Raijiin]

Is this seriously an issue still? Why are we still griping about this, just let it be instant. There's a minority griping about time, but what about people that don't voice themselves because they don't know or whatever. Just let it be nice Gameplay. And let this thing die like it should have weeks ago...

Cast your vote then.

 

[charognard]

If my government could make the same for important decision... I ll be happy

 

[Javert]

And the time limit will be increasing over distance unlimited, so transferring to Jaques will take a day or two?
