Coming Soon: Contract Activity Ping
Enable players to send a notification (“ping”) to another player with whom they currently have an active contract if that contract has not registered any activity for a configurable period of time.
How it works
- A player can send a ping only if the contract has been inactive for at least X hours/days.
- The recipient receives a notification reminding them that the contract is waiting for their attention.
- Each contract has its own ping cooldown to prevent spam.
Cooldown Reset
The ping cooldown is reset whenever either of the following occurs:
- A new ping is sent, starting a new cooldown period.
- The contract registers any aircraft state change (e.g. departure, arrival, turnaround, or any other tracked activity timestamp).
This ensures that notifications are only available for genuinely inactive contracts while preventing repeated reminders for the same inactivity period.
Goal: Help players resume stalled contracts without requiring external communication channels, while minimizing notification spam and respecting both players’ experience.
