As a hauler I'd like to see the following changes to (mostly courier) contract system: (some of the suggestions have already been made but I feel the need to mention them anyway since I find them highly important)
1.More sophisticated filtering system. Currently if filter is set to highsec only, you still see contracts that lead through low/null security space (which is because no high sec route is available) although pickup/dropoff locations are both in high sec.
2.Allow us to ignore specific contracts rather than ignoring all the contracts from a person/corporation.
3.Enable multiple selection (shift/ctrl+click) of entries in GÇPMy ContractsGÇ£ tab allowing to complete/delete multiple contracts at once, either through righ click menu or through additional button.
4. Allow issuing contracts to yourself. This mostly comes from the need to haul my own assembled ships in a freighter. The functionality is already there because other peopleGÇÿs assembled ships can be entered into courier contracts and be moved by a freighters.
5.Make items inside double layered packages visible to cargo scanners and introduce a special consumable item which would allow us to wrap our cargo making it immune or hard to scan. Introduce a new skill to make scanning such package possible/easier thus forcing gankers to invest training time into otherwise disposable ganking alts since training to fly a freighter and acumulating enough wealth for a higher collateral jobs is a noticable time/isk investment.
6.Add more options for contract acceptance/completion deadlines. I suggest 6h, 12h, 24h, etc. increments.
7.Add an option to enter per jump payment rather than total amount. Have both input fields side by side and have them update eachother as changes are made (similar to new directional scanner distance options)
8.Allow sorting courier contracts by payment per jump
9.Allow selection of multiple sorting propertiesat once, f.e. total payment and per jump, or newest first and volume, etc.
10.Introduce option to pay bonus for promptness. For example contract issuer makes a courier contract with 1 day expiration and 1 day completion deadlines and adds bonus if package is delivered within 6h of accepting.
11.Allow modification of outstanding contract properties without having to delete them and start all over again.
12.Allow mutual contract termination. If someone picks up a contract he canGÇÿt complete or issuer sets wrong collateral etc., there should be an option to cancel it if boths parties agree, rather than resorting to breaking the package (thus tainting contract history of both parties) and sending items and isk back and forth throuhg item exchange.
13.Use colorcodes whenever possible in contracts window, such as marking volume red if the ship youGÇÿre currently flying doesnGÇÿt have big enough cargohold, yellow if it does, but not enough empty space, and green when both criteria are fullfilled.
A couple less relevant suggestions:
14.allow seeing full courier package (or any other package/container) contents through assets window. Right now if courier package contains a container, assets window only shows a cointainer. IGÇÿd like to be able see to full contents.
15.Allow entering POSGÇÿes and POCOGÇÿs as courier pickup/destination. |
