New service: Fly safe and fly cheap with 47! Why safe? Because I don't want passengers being online when I fly. I have no need for extra gunners or repairmen (unless they volunteer for it and have no lootables on them). The people not on the crew are invited to log off before leaving the space station (logging off on board a mothership or privateer means that you will log back in on the same ship no matter if this ship has moved or been shot down at one time. It also means you can transport your goods fast and safe) and will be announced of the ship's docking to their destination through a private means only BY MYSELF (skype, forum message, email, the chat on star's stream...) Why cheap ? Because I only ask for 9 ped per passenger for groups between 3 and 6 and 5 ped for groups larger then 6. If individuals require transport my fee is 30 ped per warp use. How do you program a flight? You message me here, on this forum, or ingame by adding me to your friend list from the player register (you find the player register by pressing Y and searching for it there), my ingame name being hitman nutrageti 47. Once we reach an agreement you will have to be added to the guestlist by Jenna Star Mercury (details on how this is done provided upon ingame contact). On the appointed date you will have to board the mothership (I can provide a ride up in my quad if that is necessary, cost for that being 2 ped). We will leave once everyone has provided the necessary payment (this can be done on land too, depending on the client's wishes)and has boarded (if a numerous group, the majority of the clients have the right to decide on waiting for late members). Once payment is done, everyone except me, the pilot, the crew and the optional volunteers for crewing the ms, must log off. This is to ensure a smooth, fast transport for your lootable items. The warp flight should not take more then 5 minutes. During this time you are encouraged to go say hi to your kids, spouses, parents, work on those children, imagine working on those children, feed yourself or imagine the sweet taste of the food you forgot to buy If you have any more questions feel free to post them here I am sure there are details and questions that need be answered and I will try and provide a solution for all . The Thule is based on Arkadia but can also take passengers from any place to anywhere else. This will however require careful planning of the flight squeduale. Renting out the ship should be discussed with Jenna Star Mercury. Travel safe !
So is it a set pre-scheduled warp flights or vip warps? If pre-scheduled flights, I don't see how it's better than Normandie, that offers 10 ped per flight vs your 9, but has the repair crew and the gunners to protect the passengers during their landing on the planet. And ofc you can log out if you like, having it as a must is rather an inconvenience. Not to mention you have to gather a group of minimum 3 people to ensure this price, so your departure date will vary all the time. :shrug:
To my knowledge the fee is 20 peds for the normandie, so it's less the half the price. And 100 ped for a VIP flight so on average it's about 40% of the cost, very good offer price-wise if you ask me.
it is on demand, not fixed. You say when you need it and I arrange it. And even if it was the same as Normandie, competition never hurt. I want people to log off as protection and as a deterrent for pirates. If they know I don't have any passengers they'll learn it's not profitable to shoot at me...
Normandie's fee is 10 ped per flight (this is a recent change). The more transports, the better, so thanks for including Arkadia as a destination & good luck with the service!
Still, the question of my protection while I'm landing from the atmo to the planet remains open. It takes a while for the passengers to get your off-game message that you've docked, log in and fly out. This is all in PvP and will last quite a few mins. You have zero crew, so where is the guarantee your MS is not destroyed and/or your passengers land safely and not looted by pirates outside? Not to mention that some pirates will by a ticket, travel with you, fly out with you and kill you. You don't have gunners either, right? Competition never hurts, but it's not really a competition. And you should remove the word safe from the title, because it's not safe at all.
I won't be undocking passengers in pvp, I will be undocking them in the safe zone of the space station unless otherwise asked to. Motherships don't actually land on the planet. The undocking system I've already tested with 10 people on a privateer. It took 2 minutes but taking into account slower people it will probably take 10 min for every 5 passengers. I can land people if needed with my quad. Having gunners on a mothership doesn't protect you that much when you are using your quad/vtol to land on planet. If you are afraid of pirates among my passengers I can do separate undocking of each passenger. Wait for each one to be gone before calling the next one. Pirates destroying the ship when it is only me onboard is not something I care that much. It will cost me very little to repair it while costing them alot of ped in ammo. As for the squeduale I am only going a few min through space until warping. If the ship is shot down, I'll loose a few min. The only real problem would be haters with large ammount of ped chasing around for the ms which I think won't be that hard to evade as the direction of flight does not matter when warping so if shot down going one way I can revive and head the opposite dirrection.. Anyway, I'm going to test the amount of time needed for me to undock and get to planet vs the time needed for someone to shoot down a quad. Time from both the space station and pvp near planet entry. I'll answer your questions better after test.
I have tested my system Warping right next to planet and parking the ship right next to where the message "You can not enter deep space"appears, means that upon exiting the mothership you will immediately be asked for 2 ped to enter planet. The message appears even before space loads. Warping means that pirates can not know exactly where I will come out. If passengers log out in hangar bay, relog and spawn vehicle immediately they can be off the ship and on planet in less then a minute. I will continue to believe space station is safer. I will provide you the option of choosing where to undock. I will not call passengers back on whilst in pvp when other ships are in view. If in pvp speed is essential. The client (s) will have the option of choosing. I am open for business. Docked on Arkadia Space Station for now
will do warp runs after update ends 5 ped per passenger (will gather more then 3-4 passengers before leaving though )
This was the price for about 8 months. With little to no competition some MS Owners were able to charge these kind of prices. This left the majority of people with few options. 1.They could sell their goods/stackables to Traders at MUs that almost bordered on TT at times. 2.Actually TT these goods. Which many often did. 3. Run a direct food line to the Pirates waiting for them to come up from the Planet they were on. The majority of our Passengers have never been on a Warp Ship and we have spent a lot of time educating People to the experience and functionality of this kind of Space Travel. If I am not mistaken, I believe this is "Per Planet or Space Station" that you visit on their "Scheduled Flights" Other Topics discussed in this Thread: 1. Atmospheric Docking and Entry. Whilst the chances of Pirates have a very slim chance of being able to be where a Mothership is performing this kind of "Passneger Dis-embarkation", I have had many Passengers who do not want this option for several reasons. Obviously all geared around the slim chances of being looted by Pirates, ranging from scams to disconnection issues. 2. The added protection from gunners on a Mothership. Anyone who tells you that this is going to give you protection from Quad-Wings is either a comedian or a fool. The Rotation and Tracking speed of the guns on a Mothership or Privateer makes them all but useless against a single Quad-Wing. It would take a good sized Squadon of Quad-Wings for these guns to have a random chance of success for minimal damage. Finally: This appears to be a "Requested Unscheduled Flight"(RUF) Service. While it is desingend to ensure a minimal profit margin it affords customers the opportunity to share the burden of costs. Consequently resucing your travelling and tranport costs whilst aiming to maintain the security of your goods/stackables. This appears to be a feasible and worthwhile Service to choose when travelling in space. Best of lick.
Good luck with the service Nutrageti. The more competition the better for all Entropians. By the way the rumor that planetary reentry is somehow safe and cheap is complete BS! A ticket on the Normandie is 10 PED with a 2 PED planet entry charge, and your are temporarily exposed with stackables. Cost = 12 PED A ticket on a warp vessel that charges 5 PED per flight, and you take the 7 PED teleporter is also 12 PED...with ZERO risk. Don't buy into the Normandie propaganda.
I have no idea why sakuba and uncle are derailing your thread nutrageti and do free promotion for the Normandie i assure you i didnt pay them for this. I have also no idea where the bad math comes from which is listed here, everyone knows that sleipnirs and quads have 2 seats each and every serious mothership service carries enough passengers so that they have the opportunity to share seats and reduce costs further - besides it is broadly known that the Normandie has provided her service over one year at 100% passenger safety while continuously being target of pirates and pirate groups - im sorry if others dont know how to make transports safe that go to the atmosphere but we do Could a mod please delete the 2 posts above my own and this one as i think all 3 are derailing the thules service thread, but i still didnt want to leave the above false information leave without an reply.
Thankyou for addressing it John. I will be deleting all the posts that are polluting this thread IF AND WHEN the OP PM's me with a request. There are rules against this sort of thing people, you would be well advised to re-familiarise yourselves with them.
It does not appear to be derailing the thread to me, in fact it looks like quite the opposite, its supporting Thules service. I cant see any promotion for any other service in the above posts. If read through properly they are informative and accurate posts. I maintain that the comment itself suggests that it is common knowledge, so fail to see why it needed mentioning. Unable to accuratly verify the pricing structure of all services, I have chosen to revoke my comment about incorrectly stated costs. This part appears to be a blatent attempt to promote another service, and in effect derail nutrageti's attempt to promote his service. [ Comment revoked, perhaps this is a misunderstanding. ] I hope that nutrageti will keep providing his service at cheap rates, his service appears to be perfectly safe, and the Thule is obviously looking after his passengers well. Fly safe Thule
