Hello, courier missions among other things are out competing courier contracts that dont pay as much so there is lots of stuff that doesn’t move around. An NPC mission will also never try to scam you, but you run that risk when accepting courier contracts. To make it worth your time to haul small packages you have to do it in bulk so that means you have to verify many individual contracts from many different people to make sure its not a scam among other things before accepting it. Its lot of work for little reward? Setting up courier contracts is also a tedious process. Over all this aspect of the game could do with an overhaul imo. ---

I am aware of those but I think they charge like 1M ISK per jump which is fine some times ---

Waitaminnit, wasnt there a conversation before about cheap npc couriers cause nobody wanted to use the actual hauling services. This smells like a rehash of that ---

As long as it’s about improving player courier jobs - and not the Npc Hauling again - I think that’s fine. ---

Setting up a cuirier contract today is a pita tbh, also there is a minimum fee of 10K ISK which is pricing out some stuff. ---
