Remote Quests & Outfitting (With prerequisites)

With prerequisites, a player should be able to
  1. View/take quests through the galaxy/system maps
  2. View/order outfitting & ships through the galaxy/system maps
  3. Be contacted by friendly factions / powers with local quests without being prompted
How do we make this fair/engaging using existing game mechanics?
  • Require a minimum reputation with the faction
    • "A friendly reputation is required for [faction] to respond to remote communications."
  • Require the system being visited by the player similar to how trade route views do
  • Charge delivery/labour fees for ships and ship parts delivered remotely
  • Charge delivery fees for physical quest rewards (materials etc.)
  • Things like bounties or item recoveries still need to be handed in somewhere, just not necessarily the source of the mission provider (delivery fees applied)
For the most part, these functions already exist in the game and could be used to build out a feature like this with great gains I think for player engagement.
