Contract loans. How to do?

Some years back, I remember a contract type where you could loan vessels to players and if they tried to abscond with it you could get it back.

Is this still possible and if so, is it safe?

This extremely useful feature was removed. Apparently having a tool that made it easier for corps and friends to cooperate goes against CCP's standard policies. That said, there were never any public loan contracts up, and you'd have to be stupid to try to use one. I'm still not sure how many ships I've loaned out that were forgotten because there is no longer a way to keep a record of it.

IIRC, it didn't ensure that you could get it back, but it allowed the loan-er to set a collateral to be paid by the loan-ee, so that if the loanee didn't return the stuff the loaner would keep the collateral.

Now you're stuck using a messy 3rd party system. Would be nice to have back. Straight

I do miss them. For me, it was an easy way to keep track of who owed me what, and who I owed (cause the contracts tab kept it all neat and organized).

Now, I don't even want to guess how much I own my corp back.
