Topic: Items teleportation (alpha only, no bots)

Before you think no. Hear me out here.

A Request to move stuff from one terminal to another 24hrs in advance. So much wasted time doing 20x trips even on Scarabs mk2 this can take hours and I would rather watch paint dry tbh. Or maybe I have too much stuff I am, not sure. So new player might have less stuff but probably using sequers, I really don't move much stuff around all the time so this thought was a general improvement for all players.

This has always bugged me to hell, I think it will be a huge improvement to gaming experience if you want to change home or Corporation and they are hanging out on a different alpha terminals. For pvp areas and moving robots this could be abused (Power projection perhaps?) so better off with some restrictions.

Once in 24h sounds good. Maybe some extension even, that reduces this timer 1h per level

Have a productive day, runner!

-1

1. Caters to alpha players.
2. removes legit transport careers.  Put up a private assignment and give someone a job.

Re: Items teleportation (alpha only, no bots)

-1. I would give players the ability to bring back assets from beta to an alpha 2 once per year and no more than 500u of packaged goods. Even this would be a stretch imo

It should be at a cost, you can still charge a player to do the same thing through private assignment but it's not that popular anyways.

Would it make a difference if NPCs were transporting the goods for a fee?

Re: Items teleportation (alpha only, no bots)

new player are in scarabs after a few days now,

its not that popular, probably because you are not willing to pay well enough, and the mission interfaces simply hides those missions.

please consider that a noob argano with a few points in geoscan-accuracy and basic robotics can make a few millions in minutes now. you have to price your private transport assignments accordingly.

Few Million in minutes now, so 60+ million per hour, are you sure?

You also said a few millions, 'in minutes' could be a couple of minutes or 59 minutes I suppose, be more specific.

Exactly this is possible. 300k EPs are not even needed. Neither is expensive equipment. Just *knowledge*.

I would +1 making private missions more/better. I don't think making a new mechanism to bypass them is the right answer.

Ask for freigters. 5 times bigger, 15 times slower, 20 times more cargo space, big HP buffer and 1000 reasons to gank it.

Re: Items teleportation (alpha only, no bots)

How to transport demand:

1. Allow additionally specify a recipient parcels (nickname).
2. Allow the formation of packages remotely.
3. Also, it would be very good if the container was specified averaged value of things. You can not imagine how much time it takes to calculate the collateral. I will carry 2-3 times than to form a parcel.

Why? Because if I have to carry something from the island A to the island B, I must first come to the island A, form a package, and then run to the island B to get it. And if I in any case to go to the island A, then I'll go with my scarab and moved myself where I need.

Hauling service should be more flexible.

Any ideas?

Re: Items teleportation (alpha only, no bots)

Allow that once a 24 hours transportation in a way where you decide what and where to send, pack it, press a button and then wait for another 24 hours for stuff to be delivered. You can't decline that. You can't get an acces to that stuff until it's delivered. If at that 24 hours period source or destination station wil become unaccessible to you, you ill loose your stuff no matter what. On gammas you will require special building for that which is, being reinforced, causes stuff loss too.

If both source and destination are always opened, then this feature doesn't work.

Have a productive day, runner!
