seems like a good idea to me +1

Offer the ability to put a jump clone in some kind of item, move item like any other.

Can't wait to log off with your pod in my hold as I jump into a bubble camp.

This. Transport for JUMP CLONES not your active pod. If you lose it, no big deal - buy another one. Better than wasting an hour jumping across the galaxy.

Would you be willing to be repackaged and then reassembled once you reached your target destination?

You know.. This isn't a bad idea.... Might need a few balance tweeks here and there but overall something that CCP ought to look at.

One thing that needs to be noted tho. How would you prevent people from say smuggling in a fleet as a spy?

Back in my day, we traveled from Amarr to Jita up-hill both ways in the space-snow with no warp-to-zero.

Those were better days.

If EVE could run it, potential additions to gameplay revolving around having passengers in your ship:
* Ship interiors.
* Turn your ship into a 'pleasure craft' with gambling, mini-games, etc that are different to those within a station environment.
* Run a 'tour' service where player created vistas (like mission instances) are visited around the EVE universe.
* Players who prefered station bound gameplay like crafting clothing (fix this CCP) and running establishments could utilize such a service to get around the EVE universe.
* Mobile Command Centre allowing maps, simulated attack/defense/retreat scenarios, etc to be displayed to the battle group commanders and more.

These are just some quick random thoughts. The tricky part is making things meaningful and/or fun within the context of the game.

It all comes down to how expansive the game should become with regards to being a 'Sci-Fi simulator' and what the game engine is actually capable of.

Nex (Cash Shop) / Aurum - removing sand from the sandbox since Incarna. Currently the only use for aurum is to buy virtual items in the in-game store, but Cockerill expects to expand its uses in the future.

People have been asking to go along with there ship in a carrier for years now.
If they could do that then a taxi service would not be much different.
All things considered I seriously doubt you will see it any time soon if ever do to programming issues.

Bad idea. You take less time flying a shuttle in autopilot.

I like to afk-cross-the-empire with a shuttle. No one bother me

@Op

The Interbus awaits you.

Any such service should be poppable, not immune to the vagaries of Eve.
Surely jump clones are your answer ?
Although your suggestion does have merit, it would really excite the Pirates out there.
