Why not just invent a teleport skillbook while you are at it?


I think you are referring to jump bridge networks? ;-)

What you are proposing will make hauling contracts, and those who make a living from hauling (eg, Red frog Freight) a thing of the past. To make it totally safe to AFK long distances, you remove any value that transporting items has, and you kill that proffession.

I'm not sure why this idea would 'end' Red Frog or other couriers. There is no effective difference between the current mechanic and the one being proposed other than approximately 1.5 to 2.5 minutes of each system's travel time. If you're flying AFK, you're flying AFK and time is of no consequence. In many ways, the proposed change would greatly benefit couriers by allowing them to take more contracts overall. HOWEVER, as much as I personally would like to see autopilot to zero, I can certainly understand the underlying logic of rewarding the ATK pilot with a time advantage over the AFK pilot. I also think that if CCP was to actually implement auto to zero, skills is not the way to go. Give it to everyone so we can all get our crap done faster.
