How humiliating would it be to an org that manages to get a Cap ship up & running to have it nerfed by a swarm of TESTies flying ships with only Distortion weapons to cripple the Cap & then have our tugs tow it into the nearest star with their players helpless onboard? Ultimate TESTie-bagging FTW!

Ok, it occurred to me as I was hitting the snooze button. Maybe a good use of this ship would probably be if you find a wreck you can salvage with a vulture or something, but Joe Shmoe might find it too. So you get your org mates with a couple of Argo SRV's to tow it to an undisclosed safe space and you all take her apart.

If persistence is real there has to be a method of moving ships around. Clearly if you can afford and run a drake capital ship no problem the tug should cater for smaller ships. You can of course just move people and they fly one ship back at a time but relocating will take an age. Clearly you probably can tow damaged ships as well and perhaps its a race to see whether a repair ship or tug gets their first. If the ship was damaged in a fight though I am not sure you can survive in a this tug to recover anyone.

Damaged ship states assumes they fix ships just exploding.

So anyways there would seem to be a mission in ship delivery whether new from insurers or whatever.

I like this recipe... but it needs a bit more salt... instead of towing a cap ship into a star , why not to a herd of TESTie reclaimers?
