Hello. Combat is not my thing and when it comes to it, I try to avoid it. I've been trying to raise my standing with a NPC corp to gain access to high lvl R&D agents and come close to %100 refine. Obviously kill missions give higher standing points, but I'm not able to solo them anymore. I've reached lvl 3 agents now and the only way for me to complete the kill missions, if I choose to do so, is to ask other people to help me. The courier missions are too boring and give little standing points, and sometimes it's hard to find people willing to help you do kill mission.
Now, I am hoping the idea of "contracts" in Kali would help players like me with this. The idea is to acccept the kill mission and make a contract with your corp members or other players to have them complete the mission for you. For example, the total reward for the mission is 800k. I make a contract with someone to complete mission for lets say 1.5mil. That person get 1.5mil plus all the loot, while I get the standing points.
Would this be possible in Kali? What does everyone else thing about this? Would a dev be so kind to take the time and reply to this? If you do alot of combat and kill missions, would you be willing to do other peoples' missions and get paid extra for that mission but give up the standing points? Peace!

Well... how about you joining a corp which have pilots that would help you? Same goals, ideas etc. Have a chat with ricdic.

I'm also interested to see a "possible" features list for the contracts system. For the moment, i'm a region wide trader, and i'd like to know if it was possible to make contracts like:
"every robotics in my assets, unless in station X should go on a courier mission for destination station X, max package size 150m3, for 8000ISK collateral per unit, and a reward of 250ISK per unit per jump in hisec, and 500ISK per unit per jump in losec."
This would be great. Anyway, a little dev blog on this, or a dev answer on planned features would be welcome. _______________________ Forums DSU |

That's not the problem. I've been in a corp and I'm about to join a RP corp soon. I wonder if it would be possible in kali to make contracts with people to have them finish the mission for me while I spend my time lets say mining, or whatever. Peace!

That's exactly what I said in my example above. And I asked if players would be willing to do other peoples' kill missions and get paid alost more than if they were to do the mission for themselves. In return someone else get the standing points for the mission, not them doing the mission. Peace!

There are some in-game channels I remember hearing of where people will do your level 4 missions for you just for the bounties and loot.

my question is why do you need a game feature to do this? you said you belong to a corp, wouldnt a verbal contract be enough?
also why not just do courier missions? most require absolutely no combat (which makes them VERY boring) and AFAIK can be done afk.

Simple. People would just open my profile and see the contracts that I am offering to make. People would then choose to do the mission on their own time, while I'm mining or not even logged in. The market would be a good analogy I think. Wouldn't it suck if you weren't able to set buy/sell orders and had to buy/sell everything on the spot? or spam the channels asking people to buy your ore? It's not much about the agreement to do the mission, it's the process involved in effectively finding people to do the mission for you. It's just an idea.
And for the courier missions, I do as many of them as I can. However, they give very little standing points compared to kill missions. Open your Character Sheet>>Standings and right click on a corp and choose Show Transactions, and see for yourself. Peace!
