In light of what’s already been thoroughly discussed by **Arthur Aihaken** (and others), I still felt like sharing a few personal thoughts based on my own experience as a solo player. I’ve tried some of the new Freelance Jobs introduced with _EVE: Legion_, and I genuinely think the concept holds promise — especially for connecting independent pilots with corporations in meaningful ways. That said, after completing a few contracts (ratting in specified systems, mainly), I noticed that aside from the ISK, there’s no sense of progression, no visual history, and no reputation system that would make me feel like I was building something as a freelance contractor. Maybe this is just the beginning, and I’m sure the feature will evolve. I just wanted to offer this perspective in a constructive tone, without disregarding the critical issues others have already pointed out. Thanks to CCP for the continuous development, and to the community for sharing your insights. — _Nyrix Sever Vale_ ---

Hey - Just to condense the feedback. 1. There should be a system of progression. 2. There is a lack of sense of meaning (Story arcs or reputation) To turn that into features - Do you think something like having a lite standing / overview of what Corp’s you’ve interreacted with could be useful? [Corp 1] 3 jobs, ### isk, Contacts [in-game name 1, in-game name 2] [Corp 2] 1 job, ###isk, Contacts [in-game name 1] Where in-game name has been the job posters? Reputation could be interesting if the game tracks that - and certain jobs can be offered by vendors at reputation levels, basically graduating that contact to filter / sift through people over time. ---

I agree — it wouldn’t take much to give the system more depth. A simple log of completed jobs, ISK earned, and who posted them would help build a freelancer identity. Light reputation mechanics to unlock more job types over time could make it all feel more meaningful. Hopefully this is just the beginning. ---

> [@Nyrix\_Sever\_Vale](#): > > Hopefully this is just the beginning. It’s the end, I’m afraid. CCP is more or less shutdown now for the summer until September, so I wouldn’t expect to see much if any iteration in Freelance. I think there’s a Jun 3 “patch” that might be a bit more than a patch, but that’s basically it for the foreseeable future. ---

Nyrix, It was something I noticed after my first job completed, I could not find who the participants were. As I understand, Freelancers are still a work in progress. ---

From what I’ve seen? Most of the freelance jobs have zero award attached to them so basically it’s a waste of space ---

At some time in the Freelance development, they need to add a reputation/quality feedback from those players that accept an offer. Over time, hopefully it would present a clearer picture of scams and “heads up” for the newer players, while allowing older players to sort thru the chaff. ---

Probably far to easy to “game” any kind of reputation feature. ---
