Player Features and Ideas Discussion

When I make a contract to a specific player (private) using "exact phrase only" it 'forgets' the setting the next time I make a contract. If it remembered your chosen setting this would be quite the time saver for people who make a lot of contracts.

eg. someone using the same courier service a lot, sub-contracting courier packages to an alt etc

Two things

First off remove the "pick which character" option when there are multiple other characters of the same name if the characters are Dust characters. They can't receive the contract so why is even and option? People get annoyed all the time contracting me things because there is someone named Convoy in dust so every time they have to select my name despite there being no other option to select.

For that matter if someone types in an "EXACT" name it shouldn't even bring this option up. for example if they type in a contract to "convoy" yes it should bring up a which character (provided there is another with the same name in EVE and not Dust}. However if someone types in "Convoy Prime" and it is an exact match this should not come up. Particularly if the contract assignment was done by clicking and dragging a character into the option.

Another thing which I may have simply not figured out how to do yet.
While in an alliance you can contract to anyone in the alliance for courier contracts. however if you are NOT in alliance and you want to make a courier contract you can only make the contract available to individual corps within an alliance and not the alliance as a whole. I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind this.

Give the emitter of the courrier contract a memory of what was inside.

The content of the courrier must remain hidden in the eyes of the outside world for obvious reasons, but the sender should still be able to know what he sent at any time.

I haven't read most of the suggestions, and there's almost certainly overlap with my requests, but here's my wishlist.

"Multiple Items" isn't much help - show the description, if there is one, in the contract list, please.

The confirmation screen at the end of the contract process is redundant; I'd like an option to NOT show it. Pressing enter on that screen should dismiss it (i.e activate the "Close" button), since I can use Enter to advance through the contract process all the way through, until that screen, where I need to Shift-Tab first to get focus on the Close button.

The items you have pre-selected when making a contract should be shown at the top of the items list, so you can confirm, at a glance, what you are putting in the contract without having to scroll down.

I make *fitted* ships for my corp and I would like the Copy Contract function to recognize that. Right now it just grabs another hull (fitted or not, it doesn't care) and another pile of the same modules as were fitted to the original ship and....it's not helpful to me.

Creating multiple identical contracts at the same time would be BRILLIANT! If I fit twelve ships I'd like to be able to make ten identical contracts in one step. Bonus internet karma for you if you let me divide it up in any combination I want (12 contracts of one ship each, 6 contracts of two ships each etc.)

Here's an easy one: The only way to accept a contract is to double-click on it. There should also be an "Accept Contract" button at the bottom of the screen. Double-click should be a shortcut, but not the ONLY way (and right-click popup menus don't count either :) ). There's enough unused space at the bottom of the contracts screen to allow for the primary task you do on that page: accept contracts.

Please see the thread I set up a few days ago to discuss double wrapped courier contracts and the bugs and possible exploits that are being conducted in the current contract system to avoid cargo scanning, as well as loss mail values.

Do you know you can copy contracts from the contract history overview?

More than 1000 people ignored (when talking about contracts). I've recently started using them heavily (past few weeks) and I'm closing in, on 800 contract scammers.

Volume buy order on contracts for corps and alliances, able to be filled by many people.

Essentially like putting a buy order on the market but only available to corporation and alliance members.

For FW pilots, allow contracts to be assigned to your (or allied) militia. They're in game entities, roughly equivalent to alliances... would it be terribly difficult to add that option?

You hero. You freakin' hero.

Suggestion for CCP: Place this option in the right-click context menu when right-clicking contracts in the contracts window. As of right now this can only be accessed from a specific contract being open. I suspect a large number of players, like myself, didn't even realize this existed.
