Hi there... noob player and first time poster here. So please be gentle!
I just finished helping in my first corp mining weekend as a hauler in my 7000m3 badger. While doing over 100 runs back and forth I had lots of time to contemplate my highly repetitive task. I also noticed that there the whole process of docking and undocking showed a spike in both my PC's resource usage as well as network traffic. I can only assume that this traffic was being serviced by the server.
So... it got me thinking. What about adding a "curb side drop off" ability to stations. It would require a skill (maybe call it Concierge Service?). Something like Social 5 and Connections 3 as pre-req's perhaps. You could have a fee associated with it as well in addition to a max number of items per fee. Each level of Concierge Service would increase the number of items that can be dropped and decrease the fee collected. What those fee's are and the number of items would be? I don't know.
The obvious concern would be isk farmers and macro players but they are already docking and undocking anyways. This method would save some time to those who could use it, the saved time would come at a cost of ISK. Either way, the load on the server would decrease.
Thanks! Rundle

Hmm, i like the idea. Instead of per item you could make it per M3 or the like, lvl 1 maby 100 m3, lvl two 2000 M3, and last lvl being 50k M3. or maby no skill, just pay for the amount to go into station hehe

Oh, good suggestion Bristal. That's probably a better way of doing it. That way I can't load up a container and drop it off as 1 unit for a small fee. If it's M3 then I'm paying one way or another. I would get a small benifit for a full container but anything less than the containers size and I'm wasting isk.

well i have suggested a jet can launcher or transporter b4
this idea was to send a can to a station of your choice in system via slect and send.
the can would launch from or near ship into a warp speed and when it gets within 15k of the station it would exit warp speed and stop the station will auto tractor beem the can for you traveling at 500ms so frigates can choose to pace the can and flip it if he so chooses.
this thief would likely need to fit a tractor beam to drag a can so he has more time to drag and drop loot.
this launcher should only fit hauler class ships or only bc or command ships and this would make life easier and faster but now you dont run theft risk in belt you run it at station. |
