Nah--then u have a shuttle at the other station.... Simply travel to the other station in your "pod"...U have one ship in station where u want it--rt click on the ship and indicate Leave Ship and voila! u will see ur pod...undock and travel to station, enter and then click on neocom--Ships and click on ship and indicate Activate Ship and ur pod will now be in that ship which u fly back to the station u want it in...

and yes I am TRYING to sound stupid.

A shuttle is faster on approach if u use auto pilot but warp speed is no faster... Since I routinely move ships around and don't use ap much, the pod is much easier--I consider 8 jumps nothing.... NOW if he has an itty etc to move, he can use a shuttle and do that one last and repackage the shuttle and put it in cargo and take it along to the new station...

I believe the shuttle *does* warp faster. 6.0 AU/s.

No, they are all being helpful, just giving advice the OP asked for:

I`d buy a shuttle, fly to where the ships are, fly other ship back
Then I`d leave that shuttle there for possible future use

Btw, a shuttle has a basic speed of 500m/s (warp speed doesn`t matter much), which increases by 5% per level of Navigation skill trained.

A shuttle should cost no more than 9000 isk maximum (NPC price), anything over that is a ripoff. You can also fly any race`s shuttle type, as they are not race restricted, nor need training for.

Actually, no. Shuttles(and Frigates) warp at 6 AU/s, and pods warp at 3 AU/s. The shuttles don't take much longer to get into warp either.

Then just repro the shuttle at destination and sell the trit.

I now always use shuttles to collect other ships, they package up fairly small and you can bring them back with you, or just sell them if they are no longer required.

I used to go and collect ships in a pod, but whenever I docked at a station I would be given a velator. Now I have velators dotted all over the place!. Is there any way of not getting a velator when you arrive at a station in your pod?

This is not a good idea. The OP is obviously new and doesn't have his refining skills trained. Instead he should repackage the shuttle, put it in the industrial ship and bring it to his home station. Later with the appropriate skills he could get a perfect refine of the shuttle.

Fractus, it's 2500 Tritanium. I don't care how old or young you are, that's not much.

What would you have him do, let the shuttle sit there until he has Scrapmetal Processing I and 6.67 with the correct station? You can put it up as a sell order if you care that much, seriously, it's a 9000 ISK shuttle. Anyone over 3 days old should be able to shell out 9k without batting an eyelid. If you DO care about 9k isk, then repro/sell will yield better money than straight selling to buy orders, and the 5k you'll get now is worth more than 6-8k at some unspecified time in the future when you have perfect refine or the sell order goes through. If you're that flat broke, just jump in a pod.

Because trust me, when you have perfect refine, you won't even get out of bed for the amount of trit in a common shuttle.
