' Wrote:BAH!!! Sometimes RP isn't enough, don't you think? I don't think they have to be VERY useless (except for visual purposes).
I suggest that the pods DO have an in-game purpose: The MOST you can do is that the pods would affect your maneuverability, and possibly give the ORIGINAL cargo space (the grey pods give less cargo than the red, which explains the expensiveness)... The LEAST you can do is to assign a special pod for different types of trading factions (like the grey pod for Freelancer ID's, the white ones for GMG ID's, and the like)...
Hey... I know it might be a major re-make to do such, but at least not everything has to only be used for visuals...
No one is takeing my blue cargo pods away!!!
O wait I shouldnt be playing.

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
Just a suggestion, but how about Passenger pods for transports, giving them an RP correct way to carry passengers since actual liners are a scarcity especially outside of House space areas?
How else are 200 scientists (at 10 cargo each) getting to Omicron Delta?
