I've just been searching for a faction myself. Less the wish to turn in everywhere, more the wish to just "find" the system where I can cash in. Here's my idea:
I wish the Pilots Federation (or some other organization) would add services to their HQs as central hubs for market communications. To fly to a system and claim credits is fun too, so instead of just make everything claimable everywhere, I'd wish for another item in the contacts section, where you can claim global stuff - maybe after some time, when all parties transmitted their data and the "Interstellar Trusted Claims Agency" (ITCA, whee!) synchronized their database. Just like the black market it would not be available at every station and this concept would be compatible with current claims that would just move to the ITCA after the timeout (which would automatically clean up FDs databases over time too).
That timeout may be a day... or a week... or a month... if you don't die during that time it's worth a reward too, eh? I think
this concept would satisfy both sides of this argument, since you still got a reason to go and collect. If one feels it's still "too convenient", just add a transaction fee that the ITCA claims for their services, which makes it even more scaleable.
In addition, Zephyriel made a suggestion worth consideration:
I've been saying this ever since the initial beta : you should be able to click on bounties in the transaction panel the same way you click on missions, with a pop up penu that would tell you the closest system where you could cash in the bounty, and give you an option to clear the voucher if you can't be bothered to cash it in.
Since I like going somewhere to claim my reward, I gave it some thought and came up with this fancy idea, so now I added it here as
suggestion in the
Suggestions & Feedback forum (which is not the
Dangerous Discussions forum, *hint* *hint*). Sorry if this posting is out of context of the thread now, or has been suggested here before - I really
tried to read this thread, but all that mimimi drained my verve faster than I could work through it.
Ps, an afterthought:
Using Zephyriel's details and options popup, they could even add the option to turn a claim over to the ITCA, which would (
*prematurely?) start the timer. Of course that wouldn't do the database any good... so...
* maybe just shortens the timer? Like it's one week for the transaction
after one month that each claim takes to time out,
if not skipped by hitting the button
