Community discussion: Freelancer Job Board - Promotheus - 04-10-2020
Hey everyone, had an idea and would like to check what the interest would be for it.
Basically a part of the forums, much like the bounty board and market place, where people could leave inrp missions or tasks they want someone to take care of.
This could be anything from delivering cargo to a destination, to providing escort duty, maybe even pirating.
By keeping the postings inrp it would add to the feel of the game as well as it would allow people add rp flavor or leave missions 'anonymously'.
As I imagine it a posting would look something like:
Eligable ID's: Freelancer + IDs chosen by poster
Region: House/edge/border
Task summerized: deliver cargo / steal cargo / protect x
Reward: credits or other reward here (perhaps a generous OF would offer a snub vessel? a government might provide a special cargo license?)
flavor text and details here
Of course there'd have to be rules regarding such a system, in order to prevent people from treating job posts as a comm thread for example, but that's
something I would only like to start looking into if people actually like the idea.
So what do you think Disco community? Something worth looking into or leave things as is?

You stole this idea from me, right

Anyway I'm glad someone noticed and took a spin on it. In absence of a "proper" ingame solution your suggestion is as good as it's gonna get and I fully support such an endeavour.

@LuckyOne I can honestly say I haven't seen a thread discussing it, but I'm glad to see there are people that are of a similar mindset

This is definitely a good idea. If someone wants FL's to join them or see if they can fill odd jobs, the more the better.
I'd keep some FL ships just to jump on as generic fill-ins when a base is in need, or if someone wants to build up numbers by finding Freelancers. Even just an hour's notice could make a difference. I made this DC server for stuff like this (Freelancer Network), its an example of a place people could drop a link after posting a job on the forum.
It would be nice to see Freelancers able to get more opportunities to join events. As in, if 2 sides in a conflict aren't well balanced on their own, allow Freelancers to be employed so gaps in players can be filled faster.

Laz had some bounty hunting project going on. I think there's a vid on his youtube channel. I don't know what became of it. But it looked really cool

As far as I know devs tossed away that plugin looong time ago

That sucks. Thought and attention went into it. Maybe it'll be re-purposed one day, or expanded on.

Small bump for more input
