Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Definitely include kenneth for this, First name that came to my mind.

interested as well.

im doing logistics for both my corp as well as (sometimes) on an alliance scale, have deployed citadels on both sisi and tq, and am regularly using contracts for ship orders and such.

im on tweetfleet slack as well, although not 24/7 active there.

I do not have an extensive background in contracting, but only because as a wormholer of 7 years we have never had them. (I am familiar with contracts, but not to the degree many of these others logi directors are most likely). I am very familiar with citadels themselves.

I am however very experienced in the logistics that it takes to keep a wormhole corp running, and since this feature will likely have a large impact on how we do some things in wormholes I would like to toss my name in to represent the wormhole "niche" and try and ensure that contracts will take WH's potentially unique needs into account.

I am busy the rest of the week with a large eve meet in case actually takes off this week; otherwise ready to go next week.

I am interested in contributing.

I manage a freighter service corporation within Goonswarm Federation with shipping service to multiple regions over the last several months hauling hundreds of millions of m3 in cargo. We are eager to have contracts with citadels to replace current substandard workarounds, and have some ideas on how to achieve some of the concerns addressed in this thread such as destruction of citadel of contracts Outstanding and In Progress.

Hello Fozzie

I'd like to put myself forward for this . I do a significant amount of leg work for the Imperium at the moment and I have fairly intimate knowledge of the logistical issues and opportunities at both stations and citadels. Most importantly, I'd be willing to have objective discussions on the subject in the hopes of improving the gameplay.

Thanks

If my opinion matters and I hope it does at least in this Focus Group I would add Rita Jita even though the members have already been selected. The massive experience with public contracts is a definite bonus to the discussion.

Just read the first day of slack logs and wanted to point out my suggestion thread as being highly relevant and not something people have quite duplicated in their own commentary yet:

OK I'll totally stop creeping on you guys now.

Maybe.

Which courier contract has 5 days of completion time? Show me some data on that because I daresay with confidence that the number of contract with more than 1 day completion time is less than 2%. You should think of something better than resorting to a "less than ideal" makeshift solution that you shoehorn into the game. Furthermore, if you had to resort to this shoehorn: How do you prevent the contract creator from cancelling the contract if the 1 day completion time has run out, but the contract is still in the safety delivery service for 5 more days?

Also, I kindly remember the people in this focus group, who seem to be awfully focused on these access issues, on this thread: Feedback request on Contract system. There are tons more issues to fix, improve and consider than just this mess that the inadequate access rights are.

If CCP wants to make our ability to dodge wardecs this way more intrinsic and less grindy, I'd happily use a system that let me "accept contract to delegated hauler" option, that accepted the contract under my name but placed the package into the hauler's inventory. Likewise assuming it also allowed the hauler to then "complete the contract on acceptor's behalf" at the destination. In order to avoid all of the courier package item exchange/trade/double-wrapping that goes on now.

I'd even be fine with this exposing the out-of-corp hauler identity to the contract creator, personally, if that were the trade-off necessary to get rid of having to trade couriers packages all the time :)
