I've seen a lot of players asking for the ability to have their ship(s) transported to other systems.
I've been thinking about this and wondered if my idea might work.
A Carrier Transport ship that can be owned by players and used to make credits offering ship relocation.
Here's how it might work.
Carrier Transport Ship (CTS)
1, The carrier ship could be bought and operated by CMDR’s
2, There would be NPC Carrier ships too.
3, Players could dock their ship on the CTS for delivery to a different system.
4, The CTS Would consist of Bays. 1 bay = 1 Sidewinder, 2 bays = Viper MKIII, 3 bays = Cobra etc….
5, Each bay would have a unit price multiplied by the distance to of delivery.
6, Fuelling of the CTS would be by Fuel scooping. (maybe even a fuel barge at certain stations?)
7, The ship would be big but not as big as a capitol ship. Say big enough for 50 bays.
8, The CTS Would be vulnerable to pirate attacks the same as all ships so there would be risk to having your ship transported. Transport insurance could be purchased.
9, Give the CTS owners transport missions, like delivering a squadron of eagles to a federation outpost.
10, Once a ship is loaded the CMDR would take a shuttle back to the station where his other ship is stored (Deliveries can only start and end at stations and only for players where they have more than one ship at that port)
11, The CTS Can be outfitted with defensive weapons as per all the other ships.
12, Other CMDR’s can wing with the CTS to provide escort.
13, This may not be feasible but introduce a system where ships could be stolen, loaded on the CTS by a pirate cmdr or wing and sold on the black market.
14, Ships not delivered within a time period would get flagged as stolen and the CTS CMDR would get a bounty.
Do you think this could be Feasible or not? Would love to hear peoples comments on this.
I think it would add extra dimension to an already awesome game.
