Sounds like a good idea. I fully support this. I would also like a "recall to ship" option on 1 hour timer or so. I would also like to have a shared account bank and guild bank. If I can access these from my ship that would also be sweet. And yes I do realize that I am lazy.

How would you know, you know many smugglers that live in space? Didn't think so. Point is, it's possible to do it with technology we have today. It should be something that is possible in the SW universe.

The latter is largely ignored for some reason. ---

They would have to split up physical and digital mail as a game mechanic this way though? ---

Delivery to an object that's out of reasonable bounds of delivery, follows no special logic. --- When you're sitting in space, you can generally see the planet right in front of your ship. You are far closer to the station orbiting the planet where you could easily dock to pick up mail than Tatooine is to Dromund Kaas. How is instant mail from Tatooine to Dromund Kaas more logical than instant mail from the space station your moments away from to your ship? When you're in your ship, it's not like you're sitting in deep space. You are right next to the orbital station you just took off from. I fail to see where the logical inconsistency is. A courier isn't delivering it to you, the few minutes it'd take you to fly and dock with the station to pick up supplies is just being compressed.

This signature is currently missing from the website. I don't have an ETA on when will this basic feature be implemented but it is in my plans.

A courier isn't delivering it to you, the few minutes it'd take you to fly and dock with the station to pick up supplies is just being compressed. You might be in deep space doing battles, the time you see the planets are in dominance because of the time abstraction. It's not logical to get steady delivery into a mailbox inside your ship, because you're supposed to be moving around when in a ship. That the game abstract the time you see certain planets more than the hyperspace sequence, or the occasional space battle, does not mean you're automatically available at all times for a steady delivery of physical items, into a certain object in the ship. ---
