Market Discussions

I want to make sure I am not missing something.

Is it real that as a CEO or Director I cant really see orders traders do in the name of the corporation in the wallet or corporation window ?

I mean, it is important that someone having "all the powers" can rule over orders made by people in the corp right ?

You can view them under "corporation orders" in the market browser.

Unfortunately the interface will only cope with a small number of orders and is therefore largely useless.

If you think that's bad, wait until you try using the contracts system.

Corrected. Apparently I had a problem with my clipboard shortcuts. lol



I dont know. Contracts have been very good to my business, both for getting help from third parties, and for organizing my alts. I have very little to complain about them.

There is an intrinsec problem that runs over all aspects of EVE interface but are specially annoying to people dealing with more data than graphics, which is the delay.

Delayed information is a technique used to save computational need. So things dont work as they should because they simply dont refresh quickly enough. That, unfortunately only have real impact over some activities. And its perceived effect is only on fewer activities yet.

That could be solved by turning the data server to a different system, but it also would bring the problem of sync between them, which would also probably backfire a lot before working right.

Anyways, contracts as other things in market and corp window must be made with patience and planning. I dont complain, in real life, eletronic systems for those activities when online work more or less the same way.

When you are in the end part, you see the data from business running quickly because you are in the small blob.

The huge markets and controls have the same delayed info flow and sometimes you have to manually control your business in order to have immediate responses.

But as far as the idea in which it is built, there is nothing so bad about it.

Yes, I never had any problems when I was running corp contracts off a single character. But then you only have 60 contracts to play with.


I've tried fiddling with that menu option and it doesn't appear to help me. But if you have some arcane knowledge on this subject I'd be eager to learn it.

So we can be sure we're both talking about the same problem:

I have 5 Charon BPCs for sale at the moment, I can see them when I search contracts for Charon Blueprint.

However, on my outstanding contracts page I only have 1 Charon BPC for sale.

Finished items has a similar problem.

First two images are Issued To/By, second two are only Issued By, I just use Issued By in Finished to know what to restock.

So they're not being pushed to the second page on Outstanding, but simply are not there? That's something I haven't seen.

I've got about 180 corp contracts up and they're all shown under Outstanding but with somewhat weird date sorting across pages. Perhaps your extra ~120 contracts cause them to start clipping.

I can try and test 200 contracts, but my Corporation Orders tab on the market shows 346 orders.

What happens with your Finished contracts?

At least we have this to look forward to https://twitter.com/CCP_karkur/status/636112206241861632

Try with Issued By, I must have 5k+ Finished contracts and it shows the the newest contracts starting on the first page as shown in the screenshot I posted. Whether it's useful for high volume contracts, I don't know.

All these annoyances with contracts and yet we still bother, it can't really be that bad . I would kill for a decent third party tool for viewing contract history, coupled with the IGB, you could avoid looking at your own contract history ever again.
