Originally by: Sophie Daigneau 3. A link back to the contract in the package description. When your corp has 200 outstanding contracts, its a lot of fun hunting through each one trying to find out which contract matches up with the package you've just delivered.
I think that it would simply be easiest if you could right click on a courier package and select deliver. No need to hunt for the relevant contract, no need to have a database query displayed to you. Just delivery.

Originally by: Omber Zombie As for the contract # limits - I know this is going to sound unpopular, but this is a MMOG, there is a point to having corpmates... the choice between doing things solo and doing things as a group should always fall in the favour of the group action, at least imho. (dons the flame suit)
Well wouldn't want you to put it on for no reason so here goes: Are you blind, deaf and dumb? [/joke] Okay, now that is out of the way, the problem with the above thought is this: The corporate number of public contracts, the "total" amount", can not be increased due to corporate member participation. One person, with the skill at maximum, consumes the entirety of the available "public" slots for a corporation. I wouldn't mind nerfing corporate contracting, the skill, if the removal of the limit on corporate orders was removed. Or even, expanded ... ... ... greatly. Yes, I know. If it is expanded or removed you'd have people setting up dozens of alts for this purpose. So what? Is it better to have dozens of alts doing this in one corporation or having dozens of corporations manned all be one alt?

Originally by: corestwo Incidentally, I'd like a better way to track my faction sales and items on contract than "manual entry into a spreadsheet", too (or am I about to look foolish when someone points out that this exists via API?)
There is no, to my knowledge, Contract API.

Originally by: Kazzac Elentria I know.. not big enough IMHO. There are times where I need to ship 4 to 6 full freighter loads of stuff.
Now this is a silly point. Unless CCP somehow comes up with a multi-package courier contracting your point is irrelevant. We'd be back to impossible couriers again. Dev should not equal Devolve.

Found it. We are both on the same side just the above sentence sounded like you were arguing for even greater courier loads to be implemented. It is obvious, now, that was not your intent. Oops

Originally by: zacuis i`d very much love to see the collatrol removed from the system make the packages unbreakable and make them return to the original owner after 5 days if undelivered. with a small fine for the contract acceptor payed when accepting and returned on completion.
This will never happen. It should never happen as well. And, sorry to say this, but if you don't understand why... go back to Wow. Originally by: zacuis the barrier to entry and the risk of scams in courier contracts is way to high in my opinion. if these changes were implimented i`d very likly search for contracts m self just incase im going that way and would be much more likly to put up contracts too.
If you fear courier contracts because you don't want to get scammed then it is not scams you are afraid of, it is your own ignorance. A courier contract can not scam you if you read it and check the pertinent details: How much collateral? How much reward? Where to? Fairly simple but I grant it may be out of reach for some people. Sorry, I just hate "Protect me from being stupid" appeals to authority.
