Reading through the many pages of this thread, I recall supporting this idea before, though it may have been over in F&I, rather than here. Some of the ideas tossed about in the later discussion have me wondering if we're still talking about a tug, or more on the lines of a ferry.

One poster mentioned it has a high-sec civilian carrier, which i would see more as a ferry, rather than a tug which would be a single small ship consisting of a large engine, tractor and command deck, for moving anywhere from 1 to 3 large ships.

Either way, though, I'm in support.

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

Well, this idea was original posted in F&I, and with the responses and support it received there, I felt it best to bring it here to attempt to bring it into the eyes of the CSM or CCP. So far, we've had a reply from one member of the CSM in support of it, and as long as it continues to garner support, I plan on keeping the idea alive.

And its hard for me too believe only one csm posted tbh. this is a fantastic idea. This would allow me too move the fitted ships i need to inva... move in Twisted into a wh.

Whatever motives you have, even ulterior, this ship would be exceptionally useful.

The concept is a good one, might need tweaking, in my opinion.

However, I will always say, "Fix current issues before bringing in new features."

Then I get laughed at, because everyone knows new features bring in new players, and more money.

Well, it made it to the list of reasonable things to be voted upon, but did not make it to the final vote. So, we shall keep this alive until the next time something like that comes up!

I thank all of you for the overwhelming support of a simple idea that could make our lives so much easier.

I'm not going to read through all the comments but I would like to say this. Rigs and Fittings do not make it too powerful. ITS A NON COMBAT SHIP why the hell should it be easy to kill ?? so you can have your loot and not have to work for it? f. me lads.. ya'all can always find something to moan about.

+1 for the Idea, I think it would be useful logistically perhaps only usable in high/low sec ? then JF's move the ships to null

only usable in these regions due to gate mass limitations or something? Would also be nice if the ship was scaled right so it looked as tho 3 battleships actually fitted in it.

Thanks for the support mate. It's appreciated.

Rally all the denizens of New Eden you can. This idea must not be allowed to silently pass into the night.

I definitely would like to see something like this (even if not this exact idea) come to be. The expansion to the industry/hauler game would be game-changing.

I appreciate all of the support that this idea has been receiving, and the CSM did take notice. While that is good, we are going to need far more support to get this implemented. Keep fighting the good fight.

Just read through all this, and must of missed something, as I am unclear on two points:

1. Will the cargo hold be scanable?

2. When the ship blows up, what happens to the ships inside? Do they explode as well, dropping their loot? Or disappear like in a maintenance bay? I know we don't want fully fitted battleships dropping as loot! Shocked


Also, prefer calling them "Ferry Class" rather than "Tug Class". Because ferries are what I do! Big smile

May I have your stuff?

1. sure why not?
2. imo they should...the tug should be hard to kill too ofc

edit: to clarify i believe the ships should drop as fully fit

Actually not too long ago assembly hall was the place most of the ideas were submitted to. I can't 100% remember if F&I existed back then but assembly hall was def where any suggestions were voted upon by the player community.

Just think of the practical applications.

And the possibility of another new "career" path.

I was recently speaking with a few friends, and they were telling me how much of a pain in the ass it was to move all of their stuff to another hub since their corporation relocated again. I directed them here.

Help drum up support so we can make this useful logistical tool a reality.
