for as long as I can remember I have been using the Normandie and their excellent service whenever I wanted to move from one planet to another, unfortunately that option no longer exists …
Given the situaton that EU is an RCE and MA is (to quote Jeremey Clarkson) a blithering idiot for making space lootable I am left without options to my knowledge how I can 100% safely move from one planet to another … Is there an option (and if so, would this lovely community enlighten me about it please?)
MA if you are reading this, please give us the option of normal TP from one planet to another ( make this option considerably more expensive vs. a normal flight to NOT kill ppl with mortherships etc. but to give people that want to be 100% safe an option) …
Besides Normandie, Kronan is the other schedule warp ship that I use. https://kronan-ms.info/
Besides that there’s many privateers that can warp you around, anything just logout when warping and ship pilot will inform you via Discord when you arrived in safe zone.
… yes, I have heard about the logging out whilst warping, is that 100% safe, I mean I have no idea where I am when I log back in? Worst case scenario, I am being set up …
… And yes, someone flying for over 15 years gives me a little bit more confidence
A degree of trust is required yes, but usually the cost of having a warp-capable transport is so high it is unlikely that someone is going to risk their reputation (and future earnings) to scam you out of your loot.
It really eludes me that players have to go through such an ordeal to go from one planet to another … Of all things MA fucks up on a daily basis, I consider this as one of the worst … Really, RCE and lootable. To me that is on par with have 1000 bucks in my wallet and getting mugged when crossing the road to get to the other side …
To the best of my knowledge, logging out cannot be seen as an exploit by MA because they cannot forbid you from logging out back into RL whenever you want and for whatever reason.
The feasibility of considering your avatar as ‘always on in world’ could potentially be implemented by MA, though, or something else, but I suspect it was a huge tangle they came up against during the process of wanting to introduce transport missions, already many years ago now.
Logging off is probably not very desirable from MA’s point of view, but not considered an exploit.
I still hope for safe, but long, ‘corridor routes’, if MA absolutely wishes to stick with lootable space overall…
Yes, but with the SIs some ships have we might also see ‘dummy runs’ with no loots on board to massively cost anyone who tries to pirate a well-protected ship.
Scheduled warp times might well be considerably disrupted, however, yes too.
I could see various changes being viable, tbh, but highly contentious. A common pool of fighting costs going to cargo mission rewards would be one of my considerations…
The fact that MA hasn’t realized that space has not worked from day 1 and still is messed up and lowers ppl cycle time is insane.
I would like to attend to the meeting this was suggested. It was prolly something like this. “I know how we can make a huge hassle for the players and make them stop cycle for hours each day, risking their valuables agaisnt their will. The bonus is also that all of our planet partners will fail eventually due to no planet side economy”. From the board: "great plan! I don’t need to hear the rest, implement it asapzuluhonolulu! ".
They can’t take any action because they can’t 100% prove that your disconnect was intentional. Just like they can’t 100% prove that you are using a macro and not just mindlessly tap F while ignoring all communications. So in both cases MA chooses to do nothing.
What amuzes me is people who do the former while shaming people who do the latter.
