I'm a high-sec freighter pilot who has also done a lot of high-sec mfg and API/CREST tool development. If my viewpoint can help, I'm happy to offer it to this group. I'm equally happy to see any one of the above courier pilots that have already posted cover these niches instead.
That said, one viewpoint I also hope to see in the group is the time-honored tradition of contract scamming. I don't want citadel contract mechanics to be so airtight that there is NO opportunity to scam careless and inattentive pilots. For purely selfish reasons, though... contract risk is what gives careful and attentive courier groups like mine a competitive advantage. |

Just read the first day of slack logs and wanted to point out my suggestion thread as being highly relevant and not something people have quite duplicated in their own commentary yet:

OK I'll totally stop creeping on you guys now.
Maybe.

Quote:12:45 ccp_fozzie One option weGÇÖre investigating would be to allow pilots in space in the same solar system as a citadel to manually place courier wrappers into the asset safety system for their rightful owner (using the right click menu). This would then take 5 days to deliver to the citadel (but wouldnGÇÖt cost any isk). If the courier contract has at least 5 days left in its duration the contract would then be completed successfully. The 5 day delay is less than ideal, but it would ideally only used as a fallback for situations where the courier pilot has lost access to the citadel between accepting and arriving.
Can you guys clarify what "rightful owner" means in this context? Does this mean it goes into the asset safety of the pilot who accepted the contract, regardless of who is in space doing this? Or does it go into the asset safety of the person in space clicking this button? Or into the asset safety of the pilot who issued the contract? |

Quote::ccp_mimic: :slightly_smiling_face: I know, but was wondering if there was a way to change this behavior of constantly double-wrapping and all that goes along with it. If there was an underlying issue there that could be solved a different way, or if leaving that in place was the way it should be. It just always seemed like such a complete waste of time, and always caused issues when trying to solve Lost Items cases
:ccp_mimic: "having" to do a thing is never best. Its just a grind. Can it be better? Can it be easier? Can it be more intuitive?
...
:querns: the double wrap thing is because of wardecs
If CCP wants to make our ability to dodge wardecs this way more intrinsic and less grindy, I'd happily use a system that let me "accept contract to delegated hauler" option, that accepted the contract under my name but placed the package into the hauler's inventory. Likewise assuming it also allowed the hauler to then "complete the contract on acceptor's behalf" at the destination. In order to avoid all of the courier package item exchange/trade/double-wrapping that goes on now.
I'd even be fine with this exposing the out-of-corp hauler identity to the contract creator, personally, if that were the trade-off necessary to get rid of having to trade couriers packages all the time :) |
