hey Xoria, how about cargo mission delivery plugin to implement? I can make one in spare time

Completion in exchange for better reputation with a trade faction, yes I would support that, but not in exchange for cash. This would make it much easier for transports to rep up and achieve faction affiliation while actually trading instead of scrounging for bribes and running combat missions. I did not enjoy my face to face meeting with a swarm of Rogue gunboats in a mission when repping my latest transport.

I could also use a plugin that could restrict certain commodities to ships with less than N cargo. For example, this would allow special contraband that could only be carried on freighters. It would need to use variables of commodity name and maximum cargo size, and it would need to intercept cargo transfers at the commodity dealer and through in-space player to player cargo transfers, as well as tractoring in cargo from space.

Id like to add more, such missions could be only took by a group of players, like 3 transports and 3-4 fighters, all of them will be rewarded on success, delivery missions will be available 1-3 at a time in each region, probably a Sirius wide message could be sent when such mission starts, basically saying its just an event plugin that could organize players for some fun using trade idea
