ya + this one.

The contract system as a whole could use some love. CREST endpoint for public contracts anyone?

I think it's a great idea that helps to give more variety to an otherwise stagnant part of industry.

We should be able to set the Bonus time though. Like within 2 hours -->10m bonus, within 4 hours ---> 3m bonus etc.

Should also be able to do a 0 Reward contract with only a single bonus reward of 1 hour --> 20m or something. This would make only people who want to deliver it within 1 hour take the contract but in the event they cannot do it within that time for whatever reason, they at least can get back their collateral by delivering (though the reward will be gone).

No, this is exploitable. You can just bump the freighter for an hour or 30 minutes and then either kill it or let it go so that he delivers the overcollaterized stuff for you and you do not need to pay reward. A Bonus is a Bonus for a reason. There ought to be no 0% Reward/100% Bonus contracts because then the Bonus is the reward. Any such mechanic is just going to be exploited and put to no good use.



Fine then, a single ISK as payment + timed Reward should do too. In Eve, things can be exploited.... Never risk what you cannot afford to lose.

I did see the potential for abuse and traps in the intial proposal and was all set to be the dissenting voice.

RJ's addendum on the third page with a scaled

lets say if completed within;
3 hours = 100% Bonus pool
6 hours = 75% Bonus pool
9 hours = 50% Bonus pool
12 hours 25% Bonus pool

12+ = 0% bonus


makes a ton of sense.

tossing it in my book and I will see who I can talk to

Keep the exploit loopholes there to some degree. This is Eve after all.

+1 to the idea in general though :)

but what would I know, I'm just a salvager

+1, a good idea.

It brings some heartfelt THANKS to other players in the game, a rare affirmation of the good in people.

Let's reward good deeds in EVE!

+1 The hauling and courier services should have some more dynamic aspects to them to draw players and encourage timely service. I support Rita Jita's proposal with room for even more changes :D
