Assembly Hall

Within Corps and outside of corps, one of the challenges is organizing deals to get something produced in a way that there is some structure around it.

Why not create a new contract type called industry.

You offer X number of ISK, to have a contract that is fulfilled by having Y amount of Z product at a certain station.

You can optionally include some materials in the contract.
You can optionally include a collateral value.

Timeframes can be specified for acceptance, and for the term of the contract itself, up to 30 days.

If you think about it, the structure is very similar to a courier contract, and the mechanics to implement it are very simple.


Using this contract for someone mining on your behalf, you would offer a contract of some value to produce some amount of mineral or ore, don't include a collateral, and don't include source items.

Using t his contract for outsourced manufacturing, you require some value of collateral to cover the source items, include some source items, and ask someone with the relevant skills to produce whatever it is and provide it at the location you specify.
