They say in that long message that the delay may be longer depending on how far you are from your ship.

Voted 2 also.

I’d like that too. And it’d be cool if you could take missions to move ships for others and hitch or book your travel back (or take a similar mission the other way around).

I wish with multicrew you could also ferry other CMDRs about to. Doubt it would happen tho :(

Voting for a delay, I would love to get my Python out with me at Jaques, but having it just appear feels wrong considering I am some 22,000 light years away!

I went for option 2 and I think FD should be applauded for actually bothering to listen to the feedback and yet not completely capitulate. Nice balance.

And if you loose the ship you would have to actually wait for someone to rescue you.
No seriously. You suicide 20k ly from the bubble someone will have to carry your sorry ass back and you can't do anything until that's done;)

Then again I see how this is only a game so who cares.

If the bubble is let's say, 1000LY, then getting to Jaques by transfer would be a little over a day to around 1.4 days.

I think I'm totally okay with that delay. It gives plenty of time to scoop-and-go out to Jaques, while making sure there is a logical time delay to keep things.. well if not RP, at least not stupidly fast/instant.

Yup. I've always thought that would be part of passenger travel too - not just NPCs. And outside of beta, taking a transport job may be the only way for me to experience some of these Federation and Imperial ships.

But FD would have to think long and hard about how to implement it, which they are not good at :roll: , to avoid assholes exploiting it. You'd probably have to have supplemental insurance covered by a third party, and make the ship fly a fixed route with weapons disabled and no chance of being interdicted or even instancing with another CMDR. I can see douches still trespassing in stations just for the fun of it, so they should pay the insurance and get on the no fly list.
It's time to give this another go.

Yeah, and I'd think a freighter could fly 24/7, even while you're sleeping and at work, so it's really not that long of a delay (compared to doing it yourself in a taxi).

As long as we get Ship Transfers I do not care if it is a time delay, order go do something else. Anyway we can most of the time Restock our ship but not always purchase that same supply at the same Station. Guessing it must be in inventory but not for sell, good stuff under the counter kind of thing. It may appear magical but so are other things, Cargo transfers at Seeking Sources occur very quickly, so does loading and offloading Cargo etc. it is a good option to have. May be one day a Star Trek Transporter Pad :D
