Currently they're are only 2 contracts related skills in the game, Contracting and Corporation Contracting. The former allows you to run 21 contracts at a time at Lv 5, while the latter allows you to run more contracts on behalf of your corporation, given you have roles for that.
I'm just curious if there's a reason why the individual cap for maximum contracts is 21. You have trade skills allowing you to have up to 300 orders, and yet contracts are so severely gimped in comparison.

You can trade things in contracts you can't in the marketplace.
You can auction things in a contract while you can not in the marketplace.
You can sell a rigged ship in a contract while you can not in the marketplace.
You can create a contract from anywhere without any skills.
You can accept a contract from anywhere without any skills.
I disagree with your premise that contracts are gimped. Contracts are more useful than marketplace orders in some aspects, but they have limitations in others.

True, contracts are far more versatile than the market, however 21 is still a very low number. I don't feel the versatility is worth a trade off of having 93% fewer possible orders available to use as opposed to the markets. Raising the maximum to even 75 would put us at 25% of the max market orders - which seems a lot more reasonable.

since most of contracts are utter crap scams....probably done to not have 15 times more contracts for invul I being sold as CN invul than we do now. Plus the other scams lke crap mineral deals, the die hards still doing t1 ship for factions even though on market now, and teh alwasy fun....fill contract up with 100 items for the low price of 2 billion....when its worth 50 mil, if that. Imagine 1000 scammers doing 300 of these, contract be bogged down real bad. Hell its a pita to scour them now with 21 per char.

CCP has stated that they wanted to limit the number of contracts, as they are/were resource hogs to track, unlike items on the market.
My proposal never went anywhere: [PROPOSAL] Increase the number of issued contracts
