Get a friend to titan bridge you. Use jump bridge networks. Oh, you don't have friends? That is your problem right there.

I completely agree.

I want a flight path to move me from Stormwind to Jita. Price approx 30 silver.

While we are at it, CCP, when are we getting flying mounts?

You remind me of the newbie who joins a 0.0 corp, and contracts things like t1-fit frigates to be shipped out.

Leave it behind man! You are just wasting time/energy. If, sometime in the future, you decide it's worth your time to haul and/or sell the stuff, then go for it. Chances are though, that in a couple months, you're not going to look twice at that pile of junk.

Also, please read this.

Well, we can at least hope you're not being serious, can't we?

It would be cool if we could have limited jump drives on all ships.

SKills - Limited Jump Drive Operation (Determines ship type) and Limited Jump Drive Efficiency (Determines cooldown length of jump drive)

Limited Jump Drive Operation: Frigates at level 1, Destroyer at level 2, Cruiser at Level 3, Battlecrusier at level 4 and Battleship at Level 5
Non Industrial
Limited Jump Drive Efficiency Level 1 - 48 hours, Level 2 - 40 hours, Level 3 - 36 hours, Level 4 - 30 hours, Level 5 - 24 hours

Can only use on one ship during the specified cooldown period, so if you jump a Battleship today, you have to wait until the next cooldown period to jump another ship. Cannot use during combat.

Dont think any ideal like this would pass in EVE, but it would be cool to see what it would look like and how a once per day ship jump would work and how it would affect EVE.

You could even add another skill - Limited Jump Clone Accuracy. Since most non capitals are not designed for self sufficient jumps, this would be a new and potentially dangerous procedure. Untrained, there would be like a 60% chance that you would jump into the nearest low or null sec system in your region.

Limited Jump CLone Accuracy reduced the change that you jump to the wrong location by a certain %
Level 1 - 50% chance, level 2 - 40% chance, level 3 30% chance, level 4 - 20% chance, level 5 - 10% chance

EvE is not like other games. And we like it that way. While it is a nice idea, it does NOT work in EvE at all. Btw, you ever heard of jump clones?

Yes, because those guys that spent billions of ISKies and years of dedicated skill training (read: real-life money, for subscription costs) SO TOTALLY want their toon and assets to be completely and utterly useless. All because *YOU* want immediate access to the crap you left in Empire when you followed a fail corp into 0.0 space to get blown up by Pandemic Legion and Red Alliance.

I, personally, like my EVE the way it is, and think CCP should stop catering to people who obviously want to play other MMOs.

Yes... I realize I sound like a bittervet. I kinda am one, afterall.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...
