Elizabeth Norn Nornir Research 890	Posted - 2016.06.21 00:39:12 - [1] - Quote And Now for Something Completely Different (I had to, I'm sorry). I would probably be more suited for a general contract [replacement ;)] focus group, but I'm going to be the odd one out and post because I don't deal a whole lot with logistics/couriers. If this is solely about courier contracts and logistics then I won't be too useful, but if you need someone with general experience in using contracts, its quirks, problems, and potential areas for improvement, then I might be able to help! I'm a station trader that does most of my business through contracts, the majority of items I trade being researched blueprints, but I have excessive experience using the contracts interface in general. I've personally accepted and created over 15k of the lovely things between 2013 and 2015. I help 'run' an in-game chat channel called scc-lounge (also on Tweetfleet Slack) where lots of traders and industrialists hang out, this means I regularly chat with other players that use courier contracts, to and from all kinds of areas of space, in their day to day business. I think most of us are more interested in the future structures rather than citadels and I know I'm very interested in how courier contracts will interact with the future industry structures. Some of those interests would apply to citadels too, such as whether I can have a courier deliver fuel directly to my structure's fuel bay, more options for delivery recipients/locations in general, and knowing I won't come home one day to a note left in my CQ from a courier telling me that since I wasn't was home and didn't leave the door open they've left my package in the trash, or worse, with a neighbour.

For exploding I think a 'return to sender' 'or nearest NPC station' mechanic would be the most appropriate, but then you have to decide on how the payment is handled. For access changes, this could be solved with a limited duration docking pass for the contractor, just watch out for those courier contracts with 365 days to complete; however, this would annoy the professional freight corps who rely on accepting contracts with alts, "Key to the Citadel - don't lose this"? Hmm, there's a lot to think about .
