I came up with an idea that perhaps when creating contracts there can be a delay between when a person accepts an item and when they pay for it. This allows players to create loans. Of course there must be penalty in case a person refuses to pay after the delay has ended. The person who forms the contract can then pick out the severity of the penalties which could be:

All players have kill rights to kill a player after the delay ends

The person who made the contract has kill rights

Reduced security status ( player specifies reduction )

This could be on a list of things to be checked off if the contract has a delay. In addition to this Concord can prevent re-contracting to other players if an object is not payed for. One player said it could be interesting to see how well that could work, and I believe It would open up another career path in EVE!

And how do you get around people using disposable or station only alts to fence the stuff on to their mains?

Lauren is right - how can you ensure that this is not used with disposable alts to create ISK out of nowhere? That would become too easy, and I'd like to see the restrictions placed on an account that enable this feature but don't allow for abuse that creates ISK...

If Concord disables the ability to contract un-paid items then this is not possible to use disposable alts to recieve punishment while mains are perfectly fine. Im also considering to add that you can reduce the punishments or extended the time for situations that involve a person who can no longer pay the contract (for whatever reason) so that they can gain the ISK to pay for the item or something along the lines of that. And upon player "death" (which is essentially leaving the game) the contractor gets a portion of the remaining assests (roughly equal to the amount due). Any help with finding an appropriate solution to these problems.
