Courier mission bonus

[dermax]

Last night I was flying some transport missions, like you do. There was one entitled "Pontiri Run" or something along those lines. This naturally made me think of the Kessel Run and how a certain pilot could do it in less that twelve parsecs. What if there was a bonus for completing cargo runs in a certain time?

Suppose you have to transport someone/thing. You have fifty minutes to do it, pay is 5,000. That's the base, you won't get less than the advertised price. If, however, you get it done in say... fifteen minutes or less you get a 2,500 bonus. You're not obligated to go for the bonus, but if you manage to get yourself a fine ship you can earn yourself a little extra coin for being the fastest dang spacer in the quadrant.

Yes! I often stack up 5 or 6 delivery missions and figuring out how to get them all done in time is about as fun as trading gets for me.

Just thinking about this myself. Great minds and all that

I was thinking of having to hit the nav beacon and all the stations to make it a bit more interesting. You could say you've got to warn security forces of approaching pirate hordes and suchlike.

A countdown showing the credits you are due ticking down as you run out of time would be awesome.

The British are coming, the British are coming!

But in all seriousness, this would be an awesome idea. Plus it fits perfectly well with the game itself.
