Well - maybe some other wording must be used - very high contact sold to me 50k of nano-forge production and i received this beautiful piece of junk. Some kind of feedback about quality would be cool.

Hmm - for non-arms-dealer contracts, ship quality is based on the ship quality at that market when the contract is delivered. For arms dealers, quality is set to 100%, meaning (IIRC) about a 50% chance of a single d-mod per ship. Let me make a note to look at that latter, at least; I think it might be better if arms dealers always delivered w/o d-mods.

Wouldn't it be possible to tell the player the expected number of d-mods, or possible d-mod range?

looks to me you tried playing smart with a con-man and got played

What, don't want to leave room for player to find out that their potentially new contact actually ripped the player off (if paid extra for no d-mods)?  I mean, have to make it clear in game so player doesn't think it was due to a bug, but good potential for maybe something like generating an anti-contact (kinda like that rivals thread in suggestions forum).

Well, I think it'd depend if it was through an actual Contact.... or some guy you met in a bar.

The former should have quality consistent with the market they're at, the latter would be a little more... random.

Though the former should also inform you if D-Mods are expected.

Good point about contacts.  I was just referring to the bar guy.  Just thought it would be funny for player to have an extra option to pay more ($$, not SP) for no D-mods, but then get D-mods anyways (ie, ripped off).  Would need a clear explanation that this is intended game behavior though!
