Taxi!

Possibly already suggested, but I'm lazy and pressed for time (supposed to be working!)..

There's talk of letting us move our stored ships between stations, but how about letting players opt to pay some credits to take a passenger ship to the systems at which the have stored ships?

Way down the line this service could even be offered by other players, the thought of which makes me do a big nerdy grin :)

Not sure what the general consensus would be on whether you sit out / watch the flight or can skip it (effectively making it a teleport) though. I'd vote for let us skip watching the entire flight.. ;)

You could do this in a sense. Just buy a Sidewinder or hauler. Take off the weapons and shields and fly to the location you store your ships.

Not opposed to a passenger service - as long as it is real-time and costs enough to make it worthwhile to buy a Sidewinder and make the journey oneself (as mentioned by Lestat). To reduce a journey (that may span the galaxy) to an optional delay would indeed be a teleport - and would destroy any sense of the grand scale of the galaxy.

The last part the teliport I think could be in a way a exploit and here how

Let say I have 4 Lakon 9. 3 are dock at a station collecting Rare good or goods that can make a lot of money. While I am flying another Lakon 9 to 160 LY to sell my Rare goods. Each stop I go do my repairs. Then Taxi to each Lakon 9 Location who waiting for Rare good or Goods respawn that make money. Then taxi back to the lakon 9 I am flying.

I could say it could be a huge exploit.
 
Ah that's a fair point actually. I could live with real time taxi service, provided I could log out while it's in progress.
