Transport Passengers

Overview

A fun and easy way to make money in the universe is to transport passengers. There are always newly arrived colonists at Easydock and they want to get to the city Deois or other Colonies that want to hire them. The only time that the labelers are worth moving is if there is a Objective to move them.
Every airport with a control tower, and passenger terminal will have people that want to take vacations. You will need a passenger PODS which has accommodations (passenger service units, proper seating and restraints, environmental systems, gravity generators, etc).
Some vehicles will also allow you to place laborers in the crew cabin, such as the C-2 Dasher that you start with can hold one extra person.
Those seats are called jump seats and are for non-paying passengers.

Jump seats per vehicle type

• C2, C2-A: 1 seat
• T-120, T-121: 1 seat
• A-4: 1 seat
• T-19: 1 seat
• W-6: 6 seats
• E-10, E-11: 6 seats
• P-13: 0 Seats

Trips to and from all locations have a calculated time, the shortest is an hour. If it takes an excessive amount of time, your passengers will not be required to pay you under United Stellar Republic law. Worse yet they will give you bad reviews and that will affect your ability to attract more passengers.
If you log off with passengers in vehicles or PODS that are under your control (or ownership in some cases) those passengers can only survive without food and water for a few days.
