When will the day come that we will be able to a passenger of each others ships.
Ships are hundreds of feet long, enormous in size, yet crewed by one?

Carrier ships can contain dozens of fighters, and dozens more ships of every size, yet they are stored and ejected by the captain of the ships. When will the day come that I can dock my Cruiser into a fellow pilots Carrier and have him jump me into battle. Launch a rain for Frigates, Cruisers and others into battle at a moments notice.

I want to be able to dock my ship into a Carrier and take a walk on the bridge with the captain and watch the battle through the windows of the bridge.

I want to be able to board a friends Cruiser with my pod and walk about a lounge chatting with friends and taking in the sights.

What would this all actually mean in EVE Online.

1) Smuggle -10 Pilots through empire space
1) Smuggle non alliance members into space &/or stations of nullsec
1) Enjoys the views for a cinamatic experience.
1) Be able to view and learn from players through a camera drone their ship
1) Be able to get true support for carriers without the need of Titans (what, makes titans useless, well give them more purpose than a 300bil taxi role)
1) Supports sabotage, and unique experiences.
1) Unique hacking skills to take control or disable ships &/or modules at critical moments in battle.
1) Support the Journalist carrier of EVE Online

Options are endless, such is the life of EVE,

one last one,,, 1) Make use of the Captains quarters environment :)



For all those that say "Fix the problems we have before making advancements." I say to you, without expansions and growth, EVE would not be the game it is today.

If that carrier got exploded, wouldn't you then have to basically restart Eve with no skillpoints because your clone isn't connected to all that backup stuff in your pod?

I'd say it would work much the same way. The ship your in explodes and you enter space in your pod.. warp away or be podded. You want to get all picky about only being in a pod while flying a ship. I then ask, why all the existing windows in the current ships :).

How bout if you don't make it back to your pod by the time the ship explodes, a little dialog box shows up saying something along the lines of “You barely made it back to your pod in time” and youre left ejected in a pod that's in structure and burning.

I eject all my passengers into space.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Why would I want to log in and stare at the inside of my pod while someone else flew around in space ships??

However keeping people hostage in a cargo bay has a certain charm about it....


There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

windows are for the crew that is USUALLY on the ships, though when a ship is converted for capsuleer use, tis crew is reduced to less than a fraction of waht it once was, which is why T3 ships have little to no windows, they have no crew, ebing a ship completely designed for the cybernetic connection of a pod pilot.

also, CCP has stated trying to have more than 1 person in a ship at the same time, creates server errors as one chaarcter has "ownership" voer another character as an asset, all in all the game engine isnt designed for it, and it would require an voerhaul of the engine on a so far unprecedented level for EVE for little to no benefit, assuming they could do it.

Why would you want to log in to stare at stargate after stargate, warp tunnel after warp tunnel when you could jump around in fleets within 1 carrier. We do it because we have to :)

Wouldn't you also love to hear the tears fall after entering warp and telling all your passengers your a awoxer and warping into a bubbled camp knowing they cant eject mid warp :)

If we only ever achieved what was already achievable we would still be starting fires with sticks!

There are passengers in my ship and I wish they would go away!!

Maybe when CCP migrate EVE to a different engine/code structure thingamajiggy which will probably never happen.

What we obviously need is a pod firing Gatling for capitals, it fires pods with armour piercing ends so we can take over an enemy ship by force.

A great idea!!

50% more effective vs Minmatar as rust is weaker!

At the moment of explosion, you are going to run from the Bridge back to the center of the ship where the pod lives to be ejected???

Also windows are for the crew. You are in your Pod in a heavily protected area in the center of your ship.
