How about adding an option or something so that when you buy something it is delivered directly to your cargohold rather than going to the Item Hangar? This is extremely annoying (especcially when you leave it in the station 12 jumps away...)

Here's what you do. I'll write it out in list format so that it's easy to understand.


  1. Buy the item you want from the market.
  2. Open your Assets tool and open the listing for the station where your item is stored.
  3. Right-click that item, and create a contract. You'll want to make it a courier contract.
  4. Set the timeframe, an amount of collateral appropriate to the cost of the item and a reward suitable to the size of ship required for transporting and the distance the item is from where you want it to be. Please note that setting a three billion isk collateral and a two million isk reward is unlikely to be viewed as anything other than a scam.
  5. Submit the courier contract and wait for someone to deliver your item to you.


Alternately, you could just move the item yourself. More troublesome but probably faster and cheaper.

I think you misunderstand...I'm not talking about deliveries. When I am in Station X in my ship named Transporter and I buy 2000 units of Scordite, the Scordite appears in the Item Hangar. I want the scordite I just bought at station X to appear in the Cargo hold of my ship named Transporter, instead of having to go to item hangar and drag it to my cargo hold.

Like I said, not a huge deal, but one less damn mouse click in this game would go a long way.
