something like an express train - tirpitz - 09-23-2009
hey guys maybe i a good idea
is it not possible that we can make a moveable base?
now you ask why?
something like a train....he jumps from system to system or better something like jumping from liberty to bretonia then to kusari and so on....
only to the "capital" system
for what i need this i dont now but how i said it was just an idea.....

I've thought of this before, and it was an idea I had about codename guns.
It would be cool to have one base that could change locations that sold single codename guns for cheap. There would be other things to take into account, but the idea I liked.
I don't think this is possible though, as bases are not moving objects.

I... don't understand really. I see 3 ideas;
-A new ship, which probably looks like the actual train?
-Make stations flyable?
-Make ships that jump from capital systems to capital systems instantly? (go go power trading?)
What exactly would be the point of these? I mean, even if we toggle them together (which I presume to be a big train the size of a station teleporting from capital system to capital system?)... what use there is to it?

Do you mean a dockable base that, through server updating, changes it's location on a regular pattern from capital system to capital system and is neutral to all so that all can dock on it and get "transorted" to their destination. Is this something you were thinking?

Hmm.. something that can transport us from system to system.. I like it!
Wait.. then what will our ships be used for?

There already is a flyable station called the Barge, only buyable via Admin
Costs around 5 billion i think.
As for jumping to Captial systems instantly, that basically get rid of the purpose of engines.
