LOL that is a good post. I do find that there are those who can put hours into a game like WOW etc and those that can't I am unfortunately one who can't so taking my entire evening to make one move is doable it doesn't allow me to participate in the community. Would be nice if there was more multi play and NO I don't mean just combat.
Happy with the outcome, glad to hear that most of us are on the same page when it comes to the experience.
you must have spent too much time out there in the black, to have such wild desires. sorry to break it to you, but that's not how the show goes.
you will repent, accept any new features wholeheartedly as they are gracefully peered to you and you will stop letting dirty words spill from your mouth. "fix" ... never ever say that again! have you lost all imagination? don't you want to be en-ter-tai-ned? if you want a bug-free game go play hardcore tic-tac-toe! this! is! eliteeeeeeee!!!!!!

No, just no.
While this sounds good, I would much rather *valuable* development time be spent on other more important things.
At this point I honestly can't see ship transfer adds very much to the game, this feature was never really that much of an issue for anyone, it was very rarely raised on the forum as a concern.
It's possible that ship transfer may be an enabler for multi-crew and therefore important as a dependency for future features, but I suspect that is now not the case given the transfer is no longer instant, and as such the feature stands alone, it is what it is for its own sake.
So being honest about this, assuming ship transfer is a standalone feature and there's not some dependency plan I'm not seeing, I feel the not insignificant amount of time and energy spent on this feature really wasn't worth it.
Sure it's been entertaining from a forum drama perspective but from the point of view of tying up Frontier employee time on stuff that isn't particularly important to the game, or the main plan, well gotta say I don't think this has been that great.

Hurray for trivial utility.
Steamcharts only report the players playing at any one time, not the total individuals per day.
Steamspy estimates over 90k individuals in the past two weeks... and Steam does not include the entire player base.

Not sure that is a good indicator. I have 4 accounts in this game, and all of them I bought directly from Frontier. Buying directly from the developer is, to me, the prefered way. I guess a lot of people who really care about FD, their wealth and ability to support this game, did that.
If you can move around the bubble that quickly anyway, you really don't need that feature anyway. I probably won't use it much, but that is how it is meant to be used. It's a QoL update, not a whole new way of playing the game.
It's obvious that the result is not logical, it's popular. You need look no further than the slew of threads and arguments for the feature to see how devoid of logic and internal consistency it is. I would think that the current state of world politics would be evidence enough that the popular is rarely the logical.

Pity, it could have been so much more.
whoever heard of a taxi with a copilot?
. Passengers in the rear, eh?Thanks Sandro!
Any word on when this is likely to be implemented?

In an earlier post you mentioned the distance across the bubble as being somewhere near 300 ly and the time being around 110 minutes. How do we define the bubble?
I checked out the EDDB and found that there are plenty of stations with shipyards further than 300 ly just using Sol as a starting point. Now I don't know if Sothis is considered part of the bubble but if you start with Sothis as a reference there are many stations that are over 700 ly from there.
Over 700 ly in 110 minutes doesn't seem too bad; 110 minutes for 300 ly sounds much worse.
That's your opinion. I don't find it trivial. That's my opinion.
How many who voted delay have more than 1 ship?
