Random Cargo/Parcel/Passenger station delivery bonus

Post by Vincentz »

Just a suggestion :

How about that when arriving to the destination system for contracts, it is randomized which station (or planet/moon) the cargo/parcel/passenger should arrive at.
And doing so gives a bonus (a tip if you like, possibly based on distance from Main Station or Witchpoint multiplied with original fee). Delivering to any other station should still be possible, just without the bonus.

Imho it would be a nice atmosphere booster, and give a reason for visiting places usually not normally visited.

It could either be announced via comms channel and/or added to ASC.

Good idea imho, this can be a new feature in [wiki]Stations_for_Extra_Planets[/wiki] or at least require it. Spara, what do you think?

Can be nice if somebody install [wiki]FarPlanets[/wiki] and receive a message that this package should be delivered several billion km farther. ;)
