So a practice that I've been seeing while hauling is a time based bonus on a courier contract for prompt delivery.

This means the issuer of the contract has to go send money to the contractor after the fact.

Why not have this as an available option while setting up the contract so you can offer a flat fee bonus if the contract is completed by whatever EVE time they define.

Several of us were talking about this in the Hauler's Channel the other day, and people liked it.

Really good idea and I think it would be fairly reasonable to implement (but who knows really with legacy code).

They already use timed bonuses in their missions. Adding a 3rd bar and starting a timer on the freight/haul contract is not particularly hard to implement.

Yaay!!!!

+1 This seems very reasonable to me!
