Ok, a suggestion for a POS item, called a Cargo Jump Array.

The Cargo Jump array is used to jump cargo to a Cargo Jump Reciever (With inbuilt Cyno) at another POS, within a set range - prehaps 7.5 ly.

It comes in four varians: Small, Medium, Large, and Ship.

Each can jump more gear in one go.

Small, prehaps 500m3
Medium, 2,500m3
Largo 5,000m3
Ship 50,000m3 - Can only take packaged ships.

Burns a jump fuel, each size corrosponds to fuel burn (Larger = More fuel)

To ballance against a Jump Freighter, the ration of fuel : m3 would be about 1.2 times as much as a freighter jump.
The reviever unit has ~200,000m3 of space, so can take many jumps before filling up.

The Jump Array can works as follows: You put stuff into it's cargo hold. You press activate, or activate on behalf of corp/Alliance. Your stuff is moved to the linked reciever. The Jump Array can only be accesses and operated by those the owner has set to allow (Individuals/Corp/Alliances).

Anyone can access the reviever, however it will generate tabs as cargo arrives, based on whom as sent the cargo. You can only access that tab of your gear. Corp and Alliance tabs as per roles. No one can put gear into a reciever.

It short, It works similiar to a Jump Bridge array, but for cargo.

You know, there has been an idea once about the implementation of massdrivers for cargodelivery between POS and even though the energy costs where enormus, the intended transporttime could go from hours to days, depending on the distance AND you had a slight cahnce of loosing the whole cargo this idea was still considered to be absolutely overpowered.



So.. no, your idea is complete and utter BS, overpowered beyond repair and does not even remotely provide any drawbacks.

97% of girls would die if Justin Bieber were about to jump off a cliff. Post this in your sig if you`re part of the 3% yelling,

"DO A BARREL ROLL!"

I, too, wish to railgun my cargo across the galaxy because I am too cheap to buy a jump freighter.

So... you want to move cargo between moons of the same planet? 7.5 AU isnt guaranteed gonna get you to the next planet, let alone the next solar system.

There is already such a module, it comes in four different types and they are called Jump Freighters.
