Right now all contracts that are created are viewable to the public, even if they are private contracts (assign to a specific person or entity). How about making the private contracts non-viewable so that they are hidden from the public? If you create or accept a public contract, however, should remain publically viewable.
Realistically, in the real world people enter into contracts all the time to buy/sell goods and services and that paperwork and documentation is kept confidential between the parties involved in the contract. Also, one could argue that the "public contracts" in game should remain as publically viewed because of the contract is most likely handled by a broker service, perhaps in the backstory if nothing else. The dealings of this type of service and trade, much like a Stock Exchange, goes into Public Records as transactions are Publically Traded.
While a private contract simply is a written agreement by two parties and a Broker Service is not needed to complete a draft but instead handled by the parties for which the contract pertains to, thus should be kept confidential and private and only viewable by the two parties involved.
Just trying to support a unique idea with realistic information to justify the reasoning to consider this for implementation.
Also, I fully support the idea of creating/bidding/accepting of contracts between Regions.
* Perhaps with an additional skill that must be trained to unlock that ability.
* Put a reasonable and realistic limit on number of contracts that can be handled remotely
* Put a reasonable and realistic limit on number of jumps per skill level that contracts can be handled remotely.

For example: auction has 7 days left, you only want to bet in the final 1-2 so the price doesn't skyrocket. The only way you can do this is either manually saving it in the notepad or bidding on it so you get a warning when someone outbids. By adding this watch-list, for contracts 1-10M in value (you pay 10k), contracts 10-100M (you pay 100k) and for 100m+ (500k, 1M would cut into the profits a lot for contracts closer to 100m). Would be another small ISK sink.

I second this idea and agree it would be beneficial to the entire community. |
