And you could ask for more money if you had a high combat rating...Pleb wrote:It's a shame that its not more like the Frontier Bulletin Board, where you could haggle over whether they should pay you half up front or not, and whether there would be trouble along the way!Although this idea could easilly be turned into an OXP...
Ah yes, the magic of witchspace! Occasionly, the two routes can even be exactly the same distance, but one will be much quicker.JazHaz wrote:... pressing the ^ key shows you the shortest route there. However if you hold Control down and press ^ you get the fastest route, which normally consists of a similar route to the shortest route, but with shorter jumps. Two 3.5 ly jumps are quicker than a 7 ly jump.
[pointless_answer]Unless its only 1 or 2 jumps away, then its exactly the same.[/pointless_answer]El Viejo wrote:Ah yes, the magic of witchspace! Occasionly, the two routes can even be exactly the same distance, but one will be much quicker.

You do get a bonus for the passenger contracts for bringing them early. But I don't know the formula for working it out. Maybe a passing Dev could make it a bit more clearer!S-P wrote:Or maybe a credit bonus for getting it delivered early.

Code: Select all
// we've arrived in system!
if (dest_eta > 0)
{
// and in good time
long long fee = [passenger_info oo_longLongForKey:CONTRACT_KEY_FEE];
while ((randf() < 0.75)&&(dest_eta > 3600)) // delivered with more than an hour to spare and a decent customer?
{
fee *= 110; // tip + 10%
fee /= 100;
dest_eta *= 0.5;
}
credits += 10 * fee;Yes, but look at the while statement. When it is much more than an hour to spare, it can add multiple times a 10% tip. But, there is also a random chance in it, so you can't give an absolute answer.Pleb wrote:Would seem to suggest that its a 10% tip if you have more than a hour to spare...
Is there any bonus for delivering a cargo contract early?Fatleaf wrote:You do get a bonus for the passenger contracts for bringing them early. But I don't know the formula for working it out.

Not sure, didn't check that one but it will be in the same file if it is. I would imagine its the same, but never really done the cargo contracts in the game, only passenger contracts. I just steal other people's cargo instead!Switeck wrote:Is there any bonus for delivering a cargo contract early?
Hmmm...I'll be careful when I get any fugitive Cobra MKIIIs attacking me in the future.Pleb wrote:Not sure, didn't check that one but it will be in the same file if it is.
