Well i was in Olettiers last night, shootin some pirates and stuff and looking at the market i find Amarr shuttle :) look a bit further and i find a Caldari one too !! :)
YEAH !!! (me thinks)
so i buy one and it looks ace !! and i am Caldari and can fly an Amarr one too ! (not sure if that is a bug or not) so i take it for a spin to Kisogo to pick some stuff up and drop some loot off at the same time and oh my god !
it flies backwards and has a cargo capacity of 10. not 1000 or 100 but 10. what happened to the 500 it was supposed to have?? and it does fly backwards !! :(

I don't think shuttles should be allowed to have much cargo space... after all, they're shouldn't be treated as fast cheap cargo haulers... and 500 cargo space in a shuttle? LOL that's more than most frigates!

Ya, I'm with ya. Shuttles are meant to be used as heavily shielded quick personal transport vehicles. Instead of using a noob ship to get that new cruiser you bought 20 jumps away, you can use a shuttle, which has a LOT of shield resistance, goes very fast too. It's meant for exploring and traveling fast, unarmed, alone.
A cargo of 10 is more than enough.

I aggree having 500 cargo is a little too big, but they could at least fly forward instead of backwards and there shields arnt that good either.. about 100 i think? i will check that later.. i think they should be cheap fast travel with little shields and no cargo so they are just used as personal transport and stuff...
much more effective that way..

Are you joking? A probe has 500 cargo space.

I do think shuttles should have no or very limited cargohold as it currently is the case. They were indeed meant as personnel transporting not for cargo-transport. Though the idea of a disassembleable shuttle is appealing. After 'repackaging' it would fit in a 100 m3 cargo hold, so once you've bought a shuttle its possible to take it back when you got your new shiny space-craft.
Perhaps even better instead of having them on the market, add the station service button of InterBus. Pressing the button gives the question to hire or return a shuttle along with the attached fees. Negative corp-standings with Interbus results in increase of rental costs relative to your standing. Would be fun to even add some 'mileage' counter :)

Shuttles should have 1 cargo hold (volume) only - even 10 is too much.
Let them carry documents (skills & BPs) and personal luggage only.
Up the speed though - mind you i think ALL frigates should also have their speed doubled.

I concur with that... especially when speed is a factor which is taken into account while in combat ... speed is they only advantage frigates should have over cruisers ... and currently that isnt even true!

Hey! The Shuttle Rental concept could get legs!
MegaHertz One-way or Local (roundtrip). Appropriate rates by time and distance.
Very soon we'd need a U-Haul service. Couldn't you just see pulling up at the local Stargate and it takes forever to go through because some clod is driving his Minmatar RV with a big old Orange U-Haul trailer strapped on right behind the Afterburner... and he can't make the turn in to the Stargate!!

Well shuttles should at least weigh 5000m3... They look about 5000m3... They DO NOT look 50,000m3.. 50,000m3 is A LOT.. A cruiser is only 110,000m3.. Come on.. Most frigates prolly weigh 50,000m3.. I think it's a typo.. Maybe CCP meant for it to be 5000m3
