Passenger transport!

Nov 15, 2004 XnR'rn link
Upgrades: Passenger salon
Takes up some volume, adds some weight, allows for transport of x passengers (from 1 to 10 most probably), including life support and the like.
Mission:
Transport passenger mission:
Person or group of persons wants to get from point A to point B.
There may or maynot be danger involved from NPC attackers.
Risky Transport passenger mission:
Same, mission computer generated mission. Some passengers want to get from point A (wherever) to point B (in greyspace). It is somewhat akin to CTC missions(*), but can be launched by a player at any time it is available from the computer. Perhaps there will also be countermissions.

(*) Naturally, only start point and end point are announced or somesuch. It would be even more fun if the wormhole network was more varied (i.e. most systems have not two but at very least 3 wormholes, so it is possible to get from system a to system b either through system c and system d, or system c and system g, or system f and system e... Well, you get the idea).

They're very related at least.

Well, one I am talking about is for ferrying NPCs. The PCs have ships of they own, so... why would they need to get somewhere flying on other person's ship? :>

Well. I can think of one reason.. lets say they are being hunted and cant leave the system without being fired on by either a PC or NPC ... and they just want to get to a safer location to launch from...

They would have to pay out of thier credits for the trasportation.. if they are being hunted by your faction or a faction your preaty friendly with, then being blown up and discovered to be harboring the "fugative" it would reflect badly on your standing.
