had an interesting though while looking at my desktop wallpaper this morning. i've seen (through numerous posts and first hand) how stuff that nobody has much use for (ie drives, for example) tend to pile up on planets in the mv. stuff that comes stock on ships and gets modded out rarerly gets put back on and as a result theres 40,50, even 60 ie drives sitting in a planets starport, not to mention cl300's, light armor, and a pile of tachyons.
i saw one nice post (forgot the author) that proposed being able to transport all those extra components (hereto reffered to as junk) out to developing planets in need of some extra scratch.
should something like that be implemented (long about 1.482 or so) the transport would probably be pressed into service hauling the junk. nothing too wrong with that, but i propose a new ship for that purpose
Transport class ship- garbage ship
Hull- same hp as current trannies, should have new model tho
Cargo- 20 slots, up to 4 inf
Movement- 3 IE Drives, 1 Tach, 25 top speed, slightly less manuverable than current trannys, masses about as much as a dessie
Weapons- light beams only, something on the order of 3 cl300's, 2 full mount and a front mount. kluth variants, probably a ruptor, a am torp, and a psi cannon
Defenses- 2 full light armor for ugto, 2 full reactive shield for icc, 1 full light armor for kluth
Specials- 1 ecm (eccm for kluth) in a front mount, and a full mount tractor
Rank restrictions- bronze nav and transport, available as a demo ship
questions? comments? flames? (*gets a fire extinguisher*)

I too think we need some way to rid ourselves of all the unwanted junk. Maybe even have a recycling structure on the planet. and once the structure is built you then use the ship mentioned above.
Just a thought.

I also like the recycler idea better, but still...thousands of IE drives and so on make the MV laggy when the planets are harder to get...and scrapping the ports every week or so is no solution to that

I like the idea of being able to rid ourselves of unwanted junk.
Here's another suggestion: Recycling center
Somewhat like a starport, and have about the same resale value as selling things to a starport. Buy from the starport, sell to the Recycler, and it automatically disposes of the junk for you.
The transport could maybe be implemented to automatically transport junk from other planets to the planet with the recycling center. Use it sort of like a trade route. Export IE drives to this planet, which would automatically pay that planet in metals, urdanium, etc. Same goes for Tach drives and such.
If you can, add to this, I'm still thinking up some things to make this a little better.
