I had high hopes for contracts helping to structure some regular corp activities, but most of the chat has been on auctions so far - so please does anyone know if:
- Contract histories are clear and working, are they in a shoq info?
- Can you loan a new corpmember a corp covetor for a week for example, with a contracted 'rental' cost of 5 mil Tritanium payable at the end of the contract?
- Can you automate contracts to reoccur? Such as mineral supply contracts?
- For courier contracts, can you select a POS hangar as a destination?
- Do contracts provide the ability to give corpmembers 'jobs', ie have corp contracts for manufacturing 10 frigats by end of week? take new Titan BPO, research to ME1 and deliver to X corp office?
I don't mean to sidetrack your auctions discussions, but any more on this side of contract functionality would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vyk

Cheers for the answers.
'Show Info' as in when you right click a portrait and can view characters standings...
I'm sure I saw that people's contract histories would be publicly visible...please tell me it is not just for auctions as on ebay, and that loans and other contracts will show histories too.
Hmm...I'm not going to make a final judgement until I've seen it, but so far it just sounds like we have the exact same courier/auction functionality as current escrow with a prettier interface.
Please say it ain't so!  |

yeah
Not sure how it goes with this though.
Hmmm...well it looks like the contract history is there, but that message is about as clear as the skies over Manchester.
I just hope people's contract histories are visible to all the population, and not restricted to within a corp or alliance...That'd be no aid when considering contracts with strangers.
Thanks for the screenies anyway.

I love the idea. Simple but effective.

I am also a little grumpy that the internaly usefull contracts are not in. That is the ones where you can make corp activities run without the brass being on 24/7
for the forgetfull in the crowd that's the ones that work like this
 Contract made for to supply 1000 ice
In the contract you provide the barge and the miners to do the job
The pilot who takes the contract takes the ship and mines the 1000 ice.
The Ice and barge are returned to the the cotract which then pays out the ISK for the ice.
This was the one thing that I realy wanted to so tbh all the other things already have a system, rubbish or not, but they have systems to do the jobs in place and functional. This a bounty are the two things that do not have a viable system inplace already!

I'm in the same boat mate...Exactly what I wanted contracts to deliver - giving corps more structure, and people more 'jobs'.
I wonder about the Dev's comments earlier - he does say this is phase 1 of contracts, so maybe we'll get the new funtionality (not just a rework of existing stuff) in phase 2....? Though I'm always too optimistic for my own good! 
- Ideas are my business...maybe thats why I'm always broke!

Just the visibility rules on the contracts are quite complex. If I do a private contract, to whom should it be visible? If it's a contract for a corporation and I change corporation, do my new corporation see all the contracts from my old corporation?
Sorry to spam the thread, but I wanted to try to understand and clarify this part a little more.
My interest as a CEO is in just seeing if individuals and corps are reputable and have honoured their previous contracts or not. A tick or a cross would do against each contract along with perhaps the type (loan, auction, *supply, *bounty) - My understanding was this would be visable similar to standings for individuals and corps.
(* see above posts)
I think the fine details of each private contract should only remain visible to the individual and corp involved. Though as I've said it should be public if these contracts were fulfilled.
I mean it's not rocket science is it mate?!
