Differentiating accepted jobs

[johndramey]

So I've run into a small inconvenience many times, and finally thought about suggesting it here for people to see and agree/disagree with me.

Problem Often times I'll accept two of the same kind of jobs, but they can be in wildly different areas. E.g. two message deliveries, one against BS and one against LV. I'll want to cancel one, but it is a little hard to figure out which one is the right one to cancel.

Proposed Solution If possible, could you include the target in the mission text? Meaning, "I need to cancel my contract with you. (Message delivery for streets against ~. Alternatively, just include the target. Often times the target is more important than who actually gave you the job, because as far as I can tell you can only cancel a job with the person that gave it to you.

I'll attach a screenshot highlighting what I'm talking about.

I agree this would be good.
In the meantime remember the order you accept jobs in, the last job taken will be the bottom of the list the first top of the list. You can look in your comp job listing for details if you've forgotten or not sure then get back to the connector to cancel the desired job.

Thanks for that bit of info. The more you know, because I've canceled the wrong job so many times

I like this idea too. Hopefully the TB will be able to due something in the future.

I'm not unhappy about the way it is now -- put it this way, of all the things I personally would like changed, this is a very low priority item for me -- but if we are to change this, the information I would most like to have when talking to a Connector is not 'who is this job against?' or even 'where did you want me to go' but 'when is it due, compared to now'. I often have several jobs against the same faction in the same zone from the same Connector identical for all but the time, and it is only the ones that I expect to expire while I sleep that I want to cancel. I'll do the rest when I wake up.

I've noted this one so we don't lose it in the shuffle, #CK-964.

The cancel buttons will now list the time at which the job is due, next release.
