Taxi Service

[Nitrogue]

An idea for a future update: player taxi service.

Say a combination of multicrew, ship transfer and the passenger missions, you pay another player (or a npc) to take you to another station.

I know there would be problems with this, and will have to see how well multicrew works.

I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad idea, but it does seem like paying the game (or another player) to play for you.

Also...what do you suggest happens to you/your ship/your progress if the taxi is destroyed? We already have a risk-free ship transfer system.

Good points there Siobhan. This was just a random idea I had and wanted others views.

I don't think there way to avoid the pay someone else to pay issue.

In terms of what happens if the taxi is destroyed, I would initially suggest you would go back to when you were last in your ship docked at the station you left it.

The idea came from maybe a cheaper but more risky way of getting round the systems if you wanted to move ships around.

People could also do tours of permit locked areas, such as a Sol Tour.

If they got it to work, could then work towards having proper crews rather than holograms, who could then participate fully in missions and trade. but I am aware this is currently causing problems at the moment.
