I'm getting tired of posting courier contracts of varying sizes with a very nice reward and a note saying "Please rush" only for someone to accept it in their Ark and proceed to afk 30 jumps. I've repeatedly asked the person to not accept the contracts anymore, but it continues.

[*] Idea: Add checkbox to make the contract unavailable for anyone on your block list.

This seems a little petty, but I do like the concept of "available to anyone except...." contracts

If you don't like it, don't use it.

This game isn't Hello Kitty Online.

+1 I've always thought buying/selling or any kind of business in eve should be available to parameters such as name/corp/alliance/standings etc. You should be able to select who you do business with.

Keeping people from actively shutting down your trade networks doesn't sound like something Hello Kitty Online deals with.

No, but when the contracts system already has person / corp / alliance specific filters, not having this one makes no sense.

This idea gets a definite +1 from me.

who is autopiloting on an ark? and where? that ship is worth ganking for the hull value alone.

btw, make the contract a private one to a hauler you know will do it fast.

That's what I normally do, but he wasn't online then.

I'd like to see an option to set the time limit a lot shorter on a courier contract, like 1 hour. And courier contracts should have a slightly different tint based on how much time you have to complete them.

It actually makes a lot of sense. Many (and I mean many) contracts are put up on public exchanges especially in coalitions. It makes sense, and I can see this being a viable option.

+1

And how about adding a 'urgency' tab with another optional time limit for a bonus ?

    • Jack up the collaterol and gank him. "Problem" solved.

    So what your saying is if you don't like how the game is, don't play it, or suggest ideas? Why are you even in the F&I forms? In your eyes none of these players should play.

    Don't make it even harder for the scammers and trappers to pull off their tricks. Lol

    BTT: Definitely a good idea.

    +1 - I support the idea.

    I would like to see following:
    - White-/Blacklist for contracts
    - Bonus reward for fast handling (like bonus from agents)
    - a standing or rating system (like distribution agents with standing)
    - possibility for standard/express delivery timeframes (down to 1h) (not contract lifetime!)
