As in allow us to be transported by people in their ship. Far to often do I find myself in the middle of nowhere, dangerous place. Where I would pay a few millions to get smuggled out. This brings me to my next point, as smuggling is going to become encouraged, what would be wrong with people smuggling? This could also give a segway into small Incarna environments. As I meet 1 other (a partner) in their CQ, dock or meeting area before they smuggle me, or could meet them there.

I'd totally taxi myself Amarr-Jita-Amarr every now and then, as long as I can bring my IKEA bookshelves back from Jita with me?

You would really trust your pod with someone else?

How may I drug you with drugs?

So let me get this straight... You want to pay someone, so they can put you in their ship, and fly you to some predetermined location while you just sit and watch? O.... Kay....

That's exactly what I want and I would pay for it. I mean... I could also make my own pizza, but I pay for a group of people to make it and transport it to me despite the risk of poison and extra cost.

You should be trapped up in some Goons ship for just suggesting this idea. I hope you like watching gates and stations get webbed.

I need to get my mother's car out of this bad area.

Leaves only the fresh scent of pine.
