The ability to rename a shop category rather than remove/remake it would be helpful. Not that big a deal, it's just a bit of a pain if it already contains items.

Also, the ability to:

TT SHOP <name> SELL <thing> FOR <marks> <categoryname>

Rather than having to first stock, then categorise.

So, hacking contracts. I know the rewards haven't come out yet, maybe this will end up being one of the perks you can spend get, but...

The cooldown on contracts being 12h suggests it's intended as a 2x per day thing, but obviously that doesn't work out since it will keep getting pushed back later and later.

Eg. At 1:00pm I grab a contract, and finish it at 1:15pm. Now my next contract can only be grabbed at 1:15am, and when I finish it at 1:30am, I'll be able to grab the next at 1:30pm.

So the cd is basically being pushed all the way around the clock, which sets it to non-ideal times, and hopefully this is not the intention. This can be reset simply by purposely waiting, but...why can't it just have a 10 or 11 hour cooldown instead?

Indeed, I think I saw this here earlier, but the same principal should apply to all cds like this - subtract 1 or 2 hours so that the activity can actually be done at the intended frequency.

Well, there is an artifact that reduces the cooldown to 8 hours already.

But one suggestion is perhaps it could be changed from once every 12 hours to twice every IC week, e.g. once every 24 hours in the same way that the World Wheel thing works. With that twice being either twice consecutively, one every 12 hours or whatever.

Then the artifact could be adjusted to let you do three every 24 hours, etc.

I am curious as to whether the artifact stacks, though. If you have two of them, does that change your cooldown to once every 4 hours? If you have three, would it become a 0 cooldown?

The reasoning behind putting them at a moderately 'mid-to-high' level is that the organization behind them wouldn't just contact anyone. It's not a place where you prove your skills so much as it is a place where you apply them. There will be other low level activities to come.

RP justification for skills/abilities/activities is beautiful.

Don't know.
I can't do them because you have to have a high hacking rank to even start on them, which I find dumb.
Wake me up when there are low level ones. They don't have to pay out a lot, just be a way to level the ability without endless grind on the same terminals.

It's just level 9 hacking. Getting to level 75 for pvp or like 18 for captaincy to reach Destroyer for ship combat takes much more time.

I don't personally have an issue with it. It was super convenient as a non-citizen, but the other two factions didn't have that easy in, and even if Scatterhome is less traditional, I don't think they should be easier to raid/harass/whatever.
