Transfer of Expeditions

With expeditions being an integral part of the game, there should be an easier way of selling off unwanted expeditions.

Current method of selling an expedition:

1) Get one from an anom or something.
2) Fly to the system
3) Bookmark the acceleration gate
4) Create a contract with the bookmark for how much you want.
5) Wait for someone to buy it if it's public.


This solution is less than optimal. So I suggest a better one.

Include a right click option on the expedition in the journal called 'Transfer Ownership' much like the option on stations and such.

This would then open a window to enter details such as: To whom to transfer, cost if any and title. Much like a contract.

The person it was transferred to would see a new little section in the expedition tab in their journal. this section would display the pending expeditions of the user. Each pending expedition would include the details the issuer inputted along with an 'Accept' 'Deny' option. If they accept it, include the info for that expedition in their journal. If they deny it, remove the pending expedition.

The feature should auto fill the expiration and automatically delete it when it expires even if no one accepted it.

New method of selling an expedition:
1) Get one from an anom or something.
2) Find someone to buy it.
3) Right click and transfer it to them for the price you want.
4) Other person accept it.

The current escalation system gives you a choice between "continue what I was doing" or "go try something new." This removes that choice and the potential time sink associated with that choice. If they did add a feature like this, which would hugely benefit Supercapital ratting pilots, I would hope it came with an accompanying nerf whereby the percentage of escalations dropped significantly. That needs to happen anyway, but this change would warrant an even more massive nerf than is currently needed.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
