Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Awesome!

I'm interested to join this focus group. I am the logistic director of a WH corporation living in a C4 and handle the whole chain, from hauling to asset trading and distribution. WE have our own Fortizar citadel

This would be my first focus group, however I consider myself available enough to discuss, give ideas, think out of the box and test new things. I also have a cool head :)

Quick question - since keepstar allow for dockable supercapitals will contract be able to handle supers sales or you guys giving that area for 3rd party escrow exchange ?

I'd like to apply. I'm a director in Goonswarm Federation, as part of the finance team, responsible for (among other things) moving war materiel to and from places. I'm also one of the most knowledgeable people in my alliance where citadels are concerned (probably second only to xttz.)

Just an idea - don't wanna be part of the group. But make it so couriers don't need to dock to deliver. Just be tethered. Would just be like in real life when a ship comes to a location with no dock. They can still deliver goods via smaller ships from the locals.

Lore wise, this theather transfer would just be the NPC work crews moving the goods.

I'd like to throw my hat in to the ring as well, I am the personnel manager for E-uni, and have been managing one of E-Uni's jump freighter programs for nearly a year, I have also been a JF pilot for Black Frog Logistics for more than a year. I have completed more than 250 courier contracts for BFL, and way more for Red Frog before that.

I have spent quite a bit of time on sisi playing with citadels, but haven't had much experience with them since they actually went live on TQ. I am very excited to see contracts make it to citadels, contracting is one of the best features in the game. (Of course I would think that, my lively-hood depends on them)

I would also like to get in on this. I have lots of in-game contract/logistics experience. Thanks.

While, as director of Red Frog Freight, I might make a good addition myself, maybe you want to limit participation to one member per alliance. In that case, I support the application of Lyn Fel, who is as knowledgeable at current contract mechanics and their pitfalls as any other member of Red-Frog.

Director for New Evolution Express - Reporting in.
Been doing all sorts of hauling jobs for a long while. (Including nulsec/thera and WH deliveries)

I agree with Which Frog though, in which perhaps only one person from each group should be picked. If this is the case, I'll be supporting Nasantha to be included due to the stupid amount of great things he's done for Push while we were there, and now New Evolution Express.

And Now for Something Completely Different (I had to, I'm sorry).

I would probably be more suited for a general contract [replacement ;)] focus group, but I'm going to be the odd one out and post because I don't deal a whole lot with logistics/couriers. If this is solely about courier contracts and logistics then I won't be too useful, but if you need someone with general experience in using contracts, its quirks, problems, and potential areas for improvement, then I might be able to help!

I'm a station trader that does most of my business through contracts, the majority of items I trade being researched blueprints, but I have excessive experience using the contracts interface in general. I've personally accepted and created over 15k of the lovely things between 2013 and 2015.

I help 'run' an in-game chat channel called scc-lounge (also on Tweetfleet Slack) where lots of traders and industrialists hang out, this means I regularly chat with other players that use courier contracts, to and from all kinds of areas of space, in their day to day spacebusiness. I think most of us are more interested in the future structures rather than citadels and I know I'm very interested in how courier contracts will interact with the future industry structures. Some of those interests would apply to citadels too, such as whether I can have a courier deliver fuel directly to my structure's fuel bay, more options for delivery recipients/locations in general, and knowing I won't come home one day to a note left in my CQ from a courier telling me that since I wasn't was home and didn't leave the door open they've left my package in the trash, or worse, with a neighbour.



For exploding I think a 'return to sender' 'or nearest NPC station' mechanic would be the most appropriate, but then you have to decide on how the payment is handled. For access changes, this could be solved with a limited duration docking pass for the contractor, just watch out for those courier contracts with 365 days to complete; however, this would annoy the professional freight corps who rely on accepting contracts with alts, "Key to the Citadel - don't lose this"? Hmm, there's a lot to think about .
