When buying a contract item, isn't interbus mailing it for a price?
I say in a dev blog that we could have that option.

In System Map: What are the 3D glowing white floating in space spheres?
Thanks :)

The interbus courier stuff is not in the game as of yet. It's still in the concept phase.
Personally, I don't like the idea as that's what courier contracts are for. The problem is that people make ****-poor courier contracts so they don't get filled.
I don't understand your "3D glowing white floating in space spheres" question.
IMO from what I see, the courier jobs are not worth the money people offer for one thing.
And When I buy a not so expencive item and it is a bit far away, I can not get anyone to deliver it even when I give them as much money the item is worth.
So at least there could be limits, so we can get the non wanted contract done buy Interbus instead.
And besides isn't it so cool to actualy see one of these corps REALY do something in the game?
Anyone who has 100 mil down payment would not even care about making 1 mil for doing like so many jumps, that person is making way more then any courier job could pay.

Consider this: You can't get a player to do it for 50K isk, Interbus shouldn't either..
If people can't do it for what they a re paying now then just like in RL Interbuss takes over.
In RL do we bring a small packege across the country asking some guy to do it? No we call UPS or FedEx.
Right now people and giving somthing like only 200K and asking for 10 to 100mil down for like a trip that would take way more time then it is worth it.
I'm sure they will make something fun for all, I would not worry.
But I could realy use it now. If I do not have time to do it my self and no one else will take the job unless I pay them twice what I got it for then what the heck is that?
Plus it is a lot of fun getting these corps do come alive.
The RL corps are boring most of the time if you ask me.

I get it just fine.
The problem isn't that real life people won't do it. The problem is that you don't make it worth my while!
I did 3 courier contracts today.
One had a 5million reward, and the other two had piddly 500K. I would not have bothered with the 500K's but they were going the same place as the 5million.
Stop with the ****ant 20K rewards and your stuff WILL get moved.
So I don't get to play unless I am rich, only the rich need packages moved?
So why not under 500K of items can be moved by interbus because they are like Walmart and katering to the average consumer?
