Space Taxi

Hey,

since they did finally finished my suggestion from a couple of years ago, to enable commanders to work on the same ship together im wondering why its not possible to hire a commander to pick me up at some station and drop me on the one i wish and i pay a specific amount i did offer before or to avoid abuse that for money transfers a automatic calculated amount of money. But in the end it is possible to travel between stations without an own ship.

That way we could have ships on different locations and travel between them without using our own. Especially since we got also the passenger lounges that makes completely sense.

So? When is this possible?
Simon

you weren't the only one to get what they wanted with multicrew.
but they couold have done it better...
I was expecting to join someone on their ship.. fly to another station, and get off by buying a ship ..
so another dream crushed by a devs.

what I want to see, is say you wanna go to another port.
you go into the passenger lounge, click "Become Passenger"
it takes you to the map so you can pick out where you want to go.
tells you how much it will cost you, and leave you the option of doubling or tripling the cost (money gets you there faster).
and then you go to work or whatever, wait if you got time.
it posts the passenger job in the list (horizons if planets involved) and someone can take you to the destination.
now, they could trim this up a bit, cause you could get yourself in a limbopickle if they don't have a shipyard... maybe they would like to filter out shipyards as the destinations.. and places you have a ship... or at least tell you if they have a shipyard..
so you come home or whatever, and continue your journey from the new location, IF someone picked you up and carried you there.
if you are online, then you wake up in the passenger compartment, ( or the passenger seat if they don't have a special compartment, see the benefit?)
so you can chat with them, maybe make a request to be dropped off some where else, etc
if you/he/she/it dies, you are back at your previous location... relisted if still offline.
you arrive at the new station after looking at their ship for a while on the vanity cams for a while, and just playing spacecheckers on your pip-boy, in the waiting room with other pilots in limbo (an excuse for the suits and stuffs) off to deal with a shipyard and fly out on your own, or relist another taxi mission and go some where else.
.
.
but now, you can get around the galaxy without a ship.
TAXI !
now, there are things for the devs to think about , not makeing it a lucrative way to pass off cash, whether to let you multicrew whiel you are on board.. but that could be player decided as well (the pilot could enable the fighter, allowing the rider to fly it, but have an autopilot override to call you back if he wants to get underway, ir if you are misbehaving by shooting his ship, keep in mind you might be wanted now, which is another thing they will want to mention when they pick you up, if you have a wanted level or no.
