Some little corp contract tweaks

One of the things I do to help out my corp is to provide fitted ships on contract.
This works nicely because I have the resources to get stuff shipped in and fitted easier than many peeps.
Private corp contracts are perfect because you can create 500 of them so I'm not going to run out any time soon.

The main problem is the expiry date. Maximum of 2 weeks is just too short.
I've got all different ships and fits available depending on what we decide we're doing so it's easy to go 2 weeks without a particular fit being in demand at all.
This leads to a situation where I create all my contracts and then 2 weeks later, those that haven't sold expire and I need to recreate them.

To get around this I've started just having 1 or 2 of each fitting on contract at once but that can lead to problems if a specific fit is called for and I'm not online to create new contracts.

What I REALLY need is a longer expiry option for corp contracts. 1 month would be okay, 2 would be good, 6 months would be perfect. (any longer than that is unnecessary imo)

Other things that would be nice:

Show the description of the contract in the list. Currently people have to either click into each one or figure out what's in the contract from the price. I get that this could be abused by scammers for public contracts so maybe do something like display the name of the hull if there is just one hull in there? Just need something to identifiy what's in the contract really.

Increased limit to alliance level contracts. Why allow 500 contracts to corp but only 28 (or whatever it is) to alliance?

this guy uses the word peeps. +1

and if this is easily implemented without issues like lag for all the extra contracts, then +1 that too.
