HI all,

A courier contract with a container in it can only be given to another pilot by station trade. This is so unlikely how one expects to work that I can believe there are some major pains for developers to fix that.

But I would like to see a small change that would help a lot (for those concerned :) )

Can you make it visible in/for a contract that a container is in there?
A '[C]' in de description for the description it has now would be enough allready.

((For non haulers: May you wonder why one should care. 1) as said a contract with a container can only be traded in a station to another toon. This is something you sometimes want to do, to dont disclose the infromation about who is actually flying the contract that is accepted. 2) If goods are in a contract gankers cant see whats inside it. This makes it an higher risk to fly them, since gankers can look for christmas presents :) In the case of a contract with a container, knowing the higher risk, one would want to get higher reward for the higher risk maybe. It would make things more lively on public contracts if that would be a factor to work with also. If you are not an hauler it will not, in any way, make your life less interesting :P ))

As one of the corp hauling guys: Yes, an indication of the contract containing assembled containers would be really nice. Supported.

We definitely need work on contracts to better facilitate containers.
