I was thinking that having the choice of starting your game with the location that one of your ships is currently at if you own multiple ships, this way you could enjoy all aspects of elite depending on what you feel like doing, say you had a ship on the far side of the galaxy you could start there or if you had another one in the bubble then start there, you would still have to put in the time to get the ships to where they are but you could still enjoy the activities of the bubble.
spawning in with different locations

- Start date

Great Idea (I've suggested it in the past myself ;-) )
It would be cool if when we logon we could spawn in any ship we own.
One requirement may be that you had to be "docked" at a station when you exited the game.
If the "immersion" crowd got upset about this, there's a work around for that too.
The feature could be implemented so that you could only spawn in ships your commander could have actually reached by passenger liner while you were logged off.
Now we all know there are passenger liners going every which way all the time, so there's no doubt your commander could hop on one to get to another station.
And since "ship transfer times" are already built into the game, those could be used for the required travel time.
So if I log off for a few hours, and then a friend text's me to meet him in Merope in 10 minutes, if I have a ship in a station near that Merope I should be able to choose that ship as a spawn point versus having to make my friend wait as I make dozens of jumps to get there.

This would be even worse, in my opinion, than instant ship transfer would have been.
I too certainly hope that this is never introduced.

I would add that I do hope that Squadron Carriers will transport any offline players docked on the Carrier. In that way, the Squadron could stick together even when offline.
