now let say i have things to move from A to B and the distance from A and B is 15 jumps now some one just accepted the contract and i need the stuff ASAP ( what I'm think is a option that let you see where the courier is on the eve map and see where he is and how many jump away he is or even see if he pick up you thing from the station yet ) so if i like to see where he is i right click the outstanding contract and a option show up view courier location (now the location will not be in real time about 2 to 5 min behind to stop ppl ganking the courier)

hope you like it thx for reading

Only if I as the person who transport the CC can hide my location. This would be an awful help for trappers and baiters to find out where their contract is and it would impede tricks and guises or even alt usage by the contract takers to protect the transport with obscurity absolutely impossible. 2-5 minutes delay is by far not enough to prevent that considering that a freighter needs between 2-6 minutes to cross systems.

If you want your things moved quickly, pay accordingly. 200k ISK/Jump won't get your load moved fast, 3M/jump will do the trick.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Very nice idea.

I am going to make a contract to you with quite an important collateral.
You accept the contract as I put a good reward, but lower than the collateral.

Then I track you and my associate gank and kill you.
We have a good KB and as a collateral, you just paid my to gank you.

Your time delay is not good as well as there's not a lot of route to go to the delivery point.


A very good idea indeed....

This kind of intel is quite bad for the game as mentioned. Just think about the big buisnisses with out of corp alts doing the delivery while being under WD if they would not. Easy to spy everyone out and .. well you ll get it.
To ruin whole professions and corporations services just because one in a thousand is too impatient to wait out or to cheap to pay for the quick delivery, this is ill considered and ... well.

Beyond the issues of using this to gank said delivery boy, we already have the ability to set deadlines on deliveries. If you need it faster than than mechanic allows, than you can either 1) do it yourself, 2) get a friend/or reputable service to do it quikly, but you should pay them for the rush service, and most courier outfits will manage it.

If a contract is under 1m / jump, you are below the level of anything close to rush service or special treatment.
