Hey Frontier! I am a newer player of Elite Dangerous and it almost immediately became my favorite game! I had an idea for the game and have heard you guys listen to your fans much better than most game devs. So here goes... at each station I have been to that has a passenger lounge, some of the passengers are criminals, and taking their contracts means a quick trip to the rebuy screen if you get scanned by system authorities, so I can was thinking: Can you add another option to criminal delivery contracts? I want to be able to fly them to a penal station and deliver them to authorities instead of their desired destination and without getting blown up. An example would be criminal mastermind “A” wants to be transported to system “B” for 4mil credits, but if I take them to the penal system, I get paid 2mil and receive a boost to influence in the system I picked them up in. Just a thought and keep up the incredible work.

Interesting idea. Kinky even. 
I'd be up for it IF there was a secondary bounty system in place - the underground (however weird that reads in a space game) bounty system ran by criminals. So whenever you decide to backstab a criminal, your underground bounty goes up and more dangerous criminals try to collect it. Perhaps diminishes with time, just like notoriety.
Otherwise it is a no-brainer; go to a penal system, take such missions and complete them in no time. The payout per time could be much higher than regular passenger missions...

Wish I could just blow them out the airlock...love a good airlocking. [yesnod]
lol being an RP-ing career criminal, I can't say I approve of the practice... but it's a great suggestion!
It's a good example of how more dynamics could be added to missions - turn criminals over to the authorities, free slaves, sell VIPs as slaves - all having an affect on your reputation with the respective factions.
