Greetings,

I was just thinking that the game could use some freighter agents, too keep me busy with my freighter. What are your thoughts about the idea?

They are called courier contracts. Or Red Frog Freight.

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

Red Frof may as well be NPC's, go to their site and its a flat fee per jump with a maximum load limit, 90% of the contracts are completed within 48 hours in my experience.

so yeah.

Actually that sounds like it would be kinda fun.
Have a PVE job board, kinda like regular contracts, but they send you to mission spaces in systems several jumps form your start. And then depending on the credibility of the job source, they may attempt to attack you at the site, giving you reason to bring a few friends with you.
