Escort missions to KOS sectors

Apr 15, 2006 Solra Bizna link
I very often get missions to escort a convoy to Orion space, where I am KOS, and have to dodge bots for about five minutes before I get paid.
Bug #3012.

Would you rather just not have such missions show up in the menu? In other words, make good standing with the destination faction a requirement. As it stands, though it may be difficult to complete dest-kos escort missions, they and a whole lot of botting, are the only ways to raise your standing with those who hate you. You also have the ability to check what faction the destination is and not take those missions. I could even add that information to the description, if that helps.

Yeah, a "NOTE: YOU ARE KILL ON SIGHT WITH THE FACTION IN THE DESTINATION SECTOR" would be cool, for those few days I actually want to dodge bots. :)

How about for HATED standing too

I say keep it that way... and pilots running those missions should be advised to not jump in until they're ready to collect their payment.

After all, it is the ONLY way to raise standing for nations other than UIT/Serco/Itani - you can't just bot your way up with Orion.

Hmm... I'm voting for not having the missions appear if the station you're delivering to has you on KOS... but I'd keep the missions into KOS space on the list - but perhaps only have them show up at a certain combat license level... or at least have a warning on them.
