If I accept a mission and already have all the required items, I'd like an immediate success instead of me having to launch and immediately re-enter the station.

so youd like to make quasi cheating easier?

Ah, my apologies. I wasn't aware that this constitues cheating. If someone told me '$5 for a round rock', and I was carrying one, I'd probably sell him the one I'm carriyin on the spot. Is that cheating because I didn't go outside, and returned immediately with the same rock sitting in my pocket? I didn't feel I was cheating.

Then again, maybe you are right. In that context, you probably should only be able to pick up a mission on an empty cargo hold, and nothing mission relevant in storage. Hmm. I'm not sure I know how to decide on this, as yes, I do see the point of earning your mission.

Comments?

I don't consider it cheating, either... If somebody wants goods and I have goods, what do they care whether I had the goods ahead of time or not?

i wondered about those in the past myself. it becomes cheating if you use that to avoid mission timers. eg, if you know ahead what you need, you have all the time required to gather it up and then take the mission without risk of loosing out on the timer bonus.

i stopped caring when i realized you really have to suck at navigation to miss out on a timer.

It aint cheating.

It's still not cheating, uc, since timers run from the moment your station decides it has a certain need. If, for example, I stock a certain supply at my warehouse, having predicted demands ahead of time... it's not cheating to earn a bonus on my contracts for rapid provision of the goods needed.

The way I brain it, the section of the station for unloading cargo to whoever you're working for is at the entrance ports anyways, so even if your employer realized you had the goods in your ship already, you'd still have to fly around once and dock. Face it, moving stuff is a hassle even in the future.
