Ship Transfer - Send A Ship to a Location

B0SSD0G · Jan 12, 2018

Hi,

I cant be the first to suggest this but I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find any other obvious posts ... so maybe I am?

Can you consider adding 'Send Ship' to the Shipyard\Ship Transfer functionality please? Currently commanders have to travel to a location before a ship can be transferred there. It would potentially save a great deal of time if a ship could be sent to a destination in advance.

Thanks,

D0G

It would be much more convenient to head to your destination 'whilst' your other ship(s) were being transported, rather than have to wait once you arrive.

Thought this many times too.

Also, who actually flies these ships from A to B? Can't players do these as missions?

advertise them as missions on the board, offer any materials or data you don't need as a reward / payment.

Yes would love to have this feature too. +OP

I have posted this twice, once before in a different thread, before suggestions and features was available then also in here. So far the Dev's have said nothing, in fact I think I asked about it when ship transfer was announced, I may be wrong but it makes sense now and it did when it was announced.

Absolutely and utterly agree.
We need this.
If anything can be called a QoL improvement than this must certainly be just that.

I like the idea - it was discussed as a desirable option during the discussions on the, then, upcoming implementation of ship transfer.

The only restriction I'd like to see is that the CMDR should have previously visited the dock to which the ship is being sent.

Definitely need this in the game!

Then you also pay for transportation on a passenger ship, just like an NPC. Throw in a roll of the dice random interdiction where you are given a turret defence job or SLF to fly to help out.

Real multi-crew.
