Players docked with cappies should be launched immediately with auto rearm repair on escort missions when the voy is attacked.

(more fun for XC hitch hikers)

Yes. Do. Now.

There could be a warning tone, too, if there are enemies approaching the convoy (starting at 700m), maybe at a lower pitch than the proximity warning tone for missiles.

Wow if I had realised how much this irritates you rats I would have spent a lot of time riding cappies in and out of sedina for you ....

And caps have these things called turrets, and players can use them. This, I consider, is unfair. So i suggest that we get rid of the escort missions all together and hand out free credits and candy to the pierats.

I am just addressing an RP abuse.
Ye'r getting paid to protect the convoy not to get protected by it, that's why i made this suggestion.
Ye want to fly a cappie while trading, fine with me but ye have to pay for it.
use turrets to kill players? Apart voy ships i dont see what ye'r going to hit, especially ye Waffle.

Waffles has a point. It would be easy to check if someone is in a turret and firing his turret's armaments. If there were a distinct lack of action despite the presence of enemy forces, there could be a countdown for expulsion. Maybe 10 seconds.

Go earn yer pay.
What for stations pay you? +1 to OP.

Already proposed and discussed, so far best SIMPLE convoy fix found.

Or make stations pay you for remain docked ;)

Indeed, WHY make a convoy when all cargo ships can simply dock to cappie and ride (almost) safe?
