I know we have gotten no love in a long while and I am sure this is low on priority list but....

I would like to see a window more like what is used when doing ID work, a new window that both the players can see, a spot where the smuggler can set his/her fee, and a spot for the customer to add thier payment/tip.

We should be able to slice without having to actually take the items in our inventory, would also give the customer more (well would feel like more) interaction during the process.

If we have the item in our inventory already then could use old system. For the Large orders, crates etc.... but for in the alley deals... would keep the customer involved and could also include results to them.

I like this idea.

But what happens if the ding-dong fails to pay the correct fee?

customer does not wanna pay

~~You forgot to mention....ID's have a required payment box as well. The transaction won't happen until that box is satisfied.~~

~~My wife is a master ID and I tell her to use it but she insists on pay what you want and she's now 2x richer than me. LOL~~

So for us that like to havea set fee we can for example say: 9 items require slicing so we charge 3k per piece and require 27000 in the required box and until the customer puts that much in their offered payment box and hits ok the slicing window is locked. Oh...I can see where that would be bad if they don't want to pay and just try to log off at that point.

This is no good. They'll just have to give us the items to slice like they do now. Good idea but we will get shafted.

one solution... you don't click slice till the pay/tip window is filled... ie they put 5k in and click agree. Smuggler then clicks agree, at that point you have a 5 sec delay sorta like ID. Once 5 secs pass slice is auto done... whatever the amount in the pay/tip window is, isauto deposited in your bank account

just a thought

Yea, we already have something like what you describe. It's called a trade window, paying up front, and actually taking the time to find a reputable smuggler.
