As above...

Apologies if been thought of before.


This ship allows PODS to 'Dock' (space for 10 or 20 pods).
Ship can deploy (through new module) a micro jump bridge which can be used in empire, low or nullsec.

Primary use to offer a 'clone jump' service to capsuleers or alliances who need to move members quickly to predefined areas.

Ship can only fit 2 modules, micro jump bridge deployer and triage module :) for heavy defense.

Not worth attacking? - maybe due to the specialist stasis equipment in this ship, all pods are destroyed and some implants from capsuleers drop ?

Terriblle idea isnt it?

...so how could you improve it?

:)

Post with my main? This is my main - I just overtrain and overplay my alts.

If you're gonna post here thinking your idea is the greatest thing since bacon and that it will save EVE and possibly all humankind with it, you're gonna have a bad time.

I personally think that all ships should have some room for capsules to dock as extras. Newer pilots who don't know how to get down to their new nullsec corp could hitch a ride in a friendly SB pilot's ship. It would also be a helpful teaching tool. People could take n00bs out in their ship and show them how they would PvP.

Also, imagine your excitement popping a ship in a bubble and having loads of pods come out!
Edit: Just thought of a potential exploit with that. You could put alts in your hull just to reduce the likelihood your expensive implant clone will get popped first. You might have to make it so all "passenger pods" were destroyed with the ship unless they ejected pre hull destruction.

I would think extra pod pilots hitching a ride on another ship like a leech should be left to capital shipping, if anything.

Though we do have that clone vat bay...
