Passengers/VIPs/Prisoners

[MB52]

So here's a question.. should players be allowed to transport live people in ships like the train? Which does not have airtight cargo pods?

Not to mention also cramming passengers into a dark, small cargo container, which probably was used to carry radioactive junk in the past...

I don't know how many times I see trains/transports go by, carrying passengers, when they have gas pods on, or radiation pods.

Would anyone willingly board such a ship?

We transport passengers in our GMG Ant transports. We provide free floating in the gas tanks and panoramatical view from our turret barrels. So far no more than 6,33% passengers had problems with our services.

Seriously now:
I think you have the point here, mb52.

Well, no one would get sanctioned for it. Though most see it as bad RP. The only live cargo I can see going in a Train would be Alien Organisms or Prisoners (mainly because I like to cause them the most discomfort possible). Other than that it is kind of iffy. Unless, a new idea, your transporting refugees or criminals who don't want to be noticed flying in coach.

Maybe a new type of pod should be created? With windows, and such, so it theoretically, have life support inside?

That would be cool.

It's not too hard to make the RP feasible for transporting passengers. Obviously, it works best when the cargo pods don't look too "wrong." I've actually had some fun before as a pilot for "Universal Starlines," broadcasting running commentary on System Chat. And if you look to your left, you'll see Pueblo Station! And when getting shot at... Sorry folks, we're experiencing some unexpected turbulence. I'm turning the "fasten safety belt" light on, hopefully we'll be out of this soon. And so on. Quite entertaining.:)

The only weakness of this is that there aren't any good routes for passengers only that work both directions. At least, none that I found while I was toying with it.
