Public transit proposal

[InvisibleRaven]

Instead of ship transportation I would propose to implement public transport paradigm, where you can travel w/o ship to somewhere. This is possible even while being offline. Ok, sometime I want to travel to my ship left somewhere far away.

How I propose it to work:
Even players will be able to transport players.
If you chosen to travel somewhere by public transit - you will appear in the waiting room (if public transit is available to this point, if not - only by paying a lot to taxis).
Ticket on the bulletin board will appear to transport you somewhere. If nobody takes, then NPC will do the job.
And even if you are offline - you`ll continue travelling. If you log in to the game, but the trip is not finished you will appear on some space station waiting room (of course you can buy cheap Sidewinder and continue on your own) or whatever (if possible even inside the ship, looking in the window)

Seems like a fine idea really. It's probably not going to be a thing until we have the ability to do multi crew or walk around in ships though.

Its creative ill give you that, but like CMDR Argent steel said. It wouldn't be available till a long time when we have multi crew, This would be useful though. say you had a ship in one system and another in say eravate. you want all your ships in eravet but you cant just walk back through space to that other system. This could be very interesting. And if you want to look more into the future...when elite makes atmospheric worlds they are sure to make mega cities. kinda like star citizens city. its a maybe but having a transportation system there would be a good idea as well

I still hoping for something like this so I do not have to keep moving my ships.

I seem to remember seeing we are getting passengers in the future, but ETA yet.

+1 OP

I believe this is a great idea. Sure, it will have to wait before some other things are implemented, but it would allow CMDR's to keep all of their ships local if they desired. I personally have this one sidewinder that's 150LY away, and it's seriously messing with my OCD
