A quick pirate twist on CTC
The first transport spawns in Sedina D-14 headed for Bractus C-5, the Second (but only a minute later) in Bractus D-9 and headed for Sedina L-2. The *shipment* takes place only once in (random) 8 to 14 hours a day, annouced on a channel (maybe 203 ?)
The Cargo will have to be taken to the station it was supposed to go anyway (so the cargo from Sedina D-14 HAS to goto the bractus station, no matter who picks it up, and vice versa) but will either a) be 5cu and weigh <> 5cu of samo b) disable turbo.
Prize is simple, deliver, get payed, if your a group, the prize gets split and +0.25 per member, no XP, just cash :)

how is this different from jumping NPC traders (with the exception of a delivery restriction)?
none at all
this throws "no ideas are dumb" out the window
I like this idea. Give us who aren't involved in CTC a little battle to squabble over.
I like the idea of Sedina-Bractus transports, makes it more fair (Itani's and Serc's have equal chance of hitting the transport).
But why would you blow up the transport and then deliver it to its destination? It might make more sense that the other station doesn't need it, but it makes the delivery pointless for us.
And I am way too impatient to fly around w/out turbo.

It's a pirate play. Take the cargo and hold it for ransom. The station it's being delivered to is desperate for widget X - so you blow up the convoy carrying widget X there and then get to sell it for twice what the convoy was going to sell it for, since you're an unscrupulous ruffian.
