When handing in ore/items/assorted cores and crap for production of the superlight or corvus widowmaker you get a "ticket" for production of 1 sl/wm at a time of your chosing. This ticket is transferrable between players and converted to the item in question through another mission.

This helps clear out your inventory nicely,allows more convenient trade between players and gives the station in question raw materials for use in its regular production as a lot of players probably wouldn't redeem their tickets immediately but stockpile them for trading.

Oh,and seeing as both items currently available for manufacturing are corvus missions,this would obviously bring traders to grey..

Don't remember,and can't be bothered to check, if this has been suggested before,if it has, please consider this a bump

+1 if the ticket is a widget.

That was what I was thinking,something physical that could be stored or moved. I thought it might make the idea possible without too much programming effort,something along the lines of:

Open sl mission in editor,change output from "1 sl,add to inventory,set as active ship" to"1 sl ticket,place in inventory",save mission as "Reserve SL ticket", reopen sl mission,change input from "3 xc loads of assorted crap" to "1 sl ticket",keep output as is.Save as "Redeem SL ticket"..

+1

I'd love to get my hands on a few of these and sell them at outrageous prices to someone too lazy to get the crap needed for an SL. :P
