Well Met Pilots,
I am new to the game, though I have known of the game for many years since it launched. I am glad to join the community.
After a short time in game I had an Idea for a new PVE/PVP Mission which involves the following points.

1. New Luxury Cruise Ships for each faction.
There should be 3 to 4 passenger liners ranging in size from luxury liner sized to megaship cruisers
each ship would be craftable from a blueprint.

2. Each Mission would require a pilot to operate his/her cruise ship by contacting a Cruise Agent for pleasure voyage contracts. where they would bring passengers on a round trip voyage that would include several or more ports of call.
Depending on the size of their Cruise Liner and level of the Travel Agent .( Travel Agent 1,Travel Agent 2 and so on)


I'd like to have an open discussion about this idea.

A variation of a distribution mission. FWIW, I've had tourists on some of my missions; I'm sure they'd prefer something less utilitarian than a DST. Lol

The only way itd work is if they were actual players. But then youd run into mass suicide ganking for the lols. Podding a half dozen people at once would be well worth it.

Other than that like the above poster stated distribution missions or even the old trade good runs are your idea already.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

So a different aproach to the courier mission, hmm, seems more interesting than hauling a cargo containers full of soil for 3 or 4 jumps.

A tour around galaxy! Cheapest price ever! \o/

Monument site tours. Bring passengers on long distance excursions to visit places around New Eden. Elite dangerous has something a lot more dynamic for passenger exploration travel, yet some capacity of it may work in Eve.

Level 4 tourism mission involves flying a Titanic class cruise liner (think freighter) by each empire homeworld, by the shortest route.

Hello and welcome to Eve.

You've got a pretty cool idea, definitely something for CCP to consider which shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Thread should actually be posted in the sub-forum 'Player Features and Ideas Discussion'.

this was what i had in mind. cruise ships would only warp from gate to gate then move slowly in system for maximum pleasure of it's passengers. Depending on the ship size passengers would be from a few hundred to thousands, all as passenger tokens.
another idea would be to allow real players to board a cruise liner as well. this would require a separate instance of the interior of the cruise ship for players to run around in.
then a step further would be pirate attacks, and so on

Sounds like distribution mini-arcs with the odd deadspace pocket to fly through. That at least should be fairly easy to do.

Problems however is transporting other capsuleers. Eve's code doesn't like it. Though in a separate instance where they walk around it may be a different matter entirely.

I have an issue with the cruise ships as well. Their entire existance revolves around one very niche application. Why not just use existing haulers and pretend they've been refurbished for the purpose of the mission. They've been carrying dancers, slaves, tourists, janitors, scientists, damsels and various pets and livestock for years.

As long as The Damsel is the first booking I'd be for this (tired of saving her thin skanky a**).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
