This is a follow-on to a comment I made in another thread on DD but the idea has been floating around in my mind for a while now.
Who would like to receive a full engineered module instead of a bunch of credits for a specific mission. Mainly talking about those 'Tip Off' missions here, the ones you get via the messaging system when you really don't want them and they are currently no worth doing anyway with the current rewards. But what if the mysterious mission giver rewarded you in a different way, like transferring a 5A FSD already engineered to G5 Increased Range with the experimental Mass Manager applied. Now before the pitchforks come out, not asking for some unique or hybrid module that can't be obtained by normal gameplay, just ones that are expensive, already fully engineered with the appropriate experimental applied. Of course once you get it you can choose to either use it as is, sell it, change the modification/experimental on it (at your cost), the choice is yours.
Ideally you will be told what the module and engineering is prior to accepting the mission, so again the choice is solely yours if you wish to continue or not (you might not want nor need a 5A FSD and the credits for selling it aren't worth your time). And if FD were smart, this reward option would only be available on these mysterious Tip Off missions, not as a regular mission reward via the Mission Board.
So your thoughts, good idea of bad?
