Just an idea What do you guys thnk about a jumpdrive that could be added on to a ship? like a high slot modual. Preff the orca i mean it could have some crazy cap drain to allow the jump but it would give us pvp pilots a ship that we could call our fleet transporter for the pvp pilots.

I ran this idea by a friend and he said why not a new ship just for this purpose. A ship transporter. It reallt does suck to move 5 BS from point a to point b through 20 jumps. this is just something to think about. question comments welcome please dont troll I am trying to add a decient thread here.

Thank you for your time.Big smile

I think you're thinking of a carrier? Or if they are packed, a jump freighter?

The module idea would be really cool, but it would have to make it gimped for combat.

Yes but since they are always hidding in a pos or offline they are kinda cheating. If our navy deploys a carrier out to sea they cant say hey im tired i want to go to sleep off line log out. The Titan is the master ship of the game and as such should be treated as one. Why should a titan be able to log out or hide in a pos? Its the Alliances job to support that ship 24/7 it can do some crazy damage and if it wasn't so easy to hide than maybe the fleet battles would change from a giant blob to more recons and actually act like a real war. (Faction Warfare) might be an idea there. As for the carrier its a logi ship thats ALL. Titains could become a new station well a moving one anyways.(Since CCP was trying to find out a way to incorporate walking in stations. your enlisted to that ship for a time being. IE: SOULS on board the Admirals that lose them that goes on there record and stays with them for there carrier, Brings leadership to a whole new level. And how many Admirals would it take to run a Titan 24/7? Ahh just ranting here My first time throwing out some ides in this game. Military , fleets actually have a meaning rather then lets put 200 drakes on a gate bog down the server and sit and wait for my name to be call as a target to die. it has turned into a game of luck when will my name get called as prime. The Alliance turny there is tactics to that a squad set up to attack another. then esclate if you wanted to. now thats a way to change the space ship pew pew.

Again just ideas please no trolls just normal comments thanks in advance.Big smile

Well, you can already see a prototype skillbook entry called "Micro jump drive operaton" in-game...
Or at least you could, like a month ago. Not sure if you can still.

Well my Corp just moved literally from one side of the Galaxy to the other. We each took a battleship, a couple of cruisers and some frigate hulls. We used Carriers to move these ships. Apparently Carriers are not just good for logi, they also carry stuff.

Edit: If you are tired of 200 ship fleets, move to NPC Null. You will get fights between 10 to 30 ship fleets there.

Going out on a limb here... but I'd probably say because this is just a game... and people have real lives... and jobs...
