So many great ideas!

Banister_murray, that's gotta be the way to do NPC towing...but I still think the NPC should be able to jump without being 3000 away. This would encourage someone of a rival faction getting a group together for taking down NPC towers, like the convoy.

KixKizzle, you're grabbing this idea and running with it! If it were implemented, I would rather you take credit than I, after all you are pretty much the originator of the player towing idea.

Perhaps we could even have an option of NPC or Player towing!

the convoys now warp correctly at 3k. that was a bug, not a feature.

Well thanks smittens, but the only way this is going to happen is if enough people agree on it or if it was easy to impliment (a lil of both actually) The devs aren't gonna go out of there way for this. So I say we just settle (lol settle) for the player controlled tow service. All you do is create a mission for a specific station within the set parameters (probably a form to fill out with few options). Next someone acquires the mission, puts the money down on it, transfers ship, gets large reward for it. I say large reward because this service will most likely be run by the noobs of this game. This way you could put down maybe 50k for one tow and a newer player is going to say "HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!! 50,000 CREDTIS!!!!) Course the price might be higher than this but it's too early to speculate. (Naturally you would want to set the ship transfer's origin at a station close to the capitol where the newer players are) How many players are there exactly? This would not be an instantaneous thing like with npc's. It also could be controlled by the amount of missions your allowed to set out. This way you couldn't just set 999 missions to transfer valks out to Bractus or whereever. If this were possible then you would start to stockpile them (unless this really DID make pirating more popular). Soooooooooo, Devs... What do you think? Feasible or no?
