Please, CCP, put in something like shuttle, let it be T2 with spaceship command lvl 5 requirement and give it like 3 times capacitor and 3x faster capacitor rate.

Err, why? With navigation skills trained up (not even to level 5) you can go gate to gate anywhere in the game in a shuttle and never stop unless you get interdicted.

I use shuttles all the time in high sec for when I need to go from one side of the galaxy to the other relatively quickly on autopilot. An interceptor is faster, but I don't always have an interceptor handy in whatever hangar I happen to be at, and shuttles are super-cheap and disposable.

I'm not saying T2 shuttles are a bad idea, necessarily, but they should probably do something else... maybe be immune to interdiction bubbles so that people coming back in from nullsec/low to reship could use them? Not sure.

And no slots to use the cap. In other words make them really fast, like 16 AU/s or something crazy like that.

While you're at it, make it have a built in covert ops cloak and make it nullified, lol

What would they be used for then? Tech 2 version of course are the specialized version, but I propose the kamikaze approach, though you'd end up sacrificing your pod too. Just a thought.

All posts and mails screencapped and time stamped, including out of EVE, you will not reverse on me.

Might come in handy!

Shuttle 2.0 is called Interceptor of the given race....

rig it for warp speed and angility and you will thank me for it.

Something like :
[Crusader, highsec shuttle 2.0]

Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Inertia Stabilizer II
Dammage Controll II

Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Medium Shield Extender II


Small Hyperspartial Velocity Optimiser I
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I



The beast from above will take you though all of highsec in matters of minutes

when going in to Low/Null i would exchange 1 Nano and and Inertia Stabilizer for Stabbs if you want to travel safeish.
the only threat to this setup is Smartbombing setups

I have my self traveled highsec --> nullsec during both wardecs and though gatecamps in thoes setups without a problem.

Or you could combine the Leopard with engineering implants. Costly, but very effective.

Do you know who's going to inherit New Eden? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.

Blockade Runners and Interceptors are arguably T2 shuttles.

I tend to use a BR more than an Interceptor, because of the cargo, and it being scan-proof. Though when using a BR you can't AFK.

You can AFK with an interceptor? Don't they only have something like ... 6 EHP?
