NPC Bounties:
Purchase job's Via Galactic trading Center, Example: Wanted/Lord of the crimson blades- purchase contract for 100 dark badges.
objective: Destroy 50 minion's of the crimson blade and gain the location of the fugitive! Upon killing the 50th minion, it would drop an artifact
spawning the Lord of the crimson blades; which would be an epic solo boss.
Mission duration: 1 week
Reward type: Crate-possible item rolls, One of one unique module(rare)/ctp(uncommon)/planet artifact(common)
Minion's spawn rarity: Extremely rare

Each individual contract would have its own threat level from 1-3, as well as costing 100-300 dark badges.
prerequisite: could be ranked based
limitation: only one bounty at a time and can't not accept another until the one week duration has expired.

all numbers and cost requirements are just rough ideas
example: the cost of a contract could be anything ranging from dark badges/energy/ctp or credits
Also, a rank board for most contracts completed and medals for x amount of contracts completed could be added

i suggested something similar a while back. feel free to look at it for ideas:

i like the concept +1 from me

this is actually a wonderful idea. give those badges a new use. i would even go so far as to argue that there should be a much lessened cost of all the other badges as well. 25-50 of each of the others.

the rewards though should be substantial, i can do a few ranks of npcing a day, and still cant amass huge quantities of dark badges (yes only a few ranks a day, only restricted by playable time for dedicated npcing)

Love it. +1
