So last night I watched the update video, loved it so much, but it was so late that I decided I should probably get some sleep, so I didn't watch it twice. But while I was thinking about it and trying to fall asleep, I thought of an interesting way to use the new mission mechanic.
So let's say I'm a corporation with a pretty sizeable fleet moving into an industrial and mining system that has two other corporations working in it. Resources are scarce, but valuable. I want to control these resources. The question becomes: how do I do this? My solution is, of course, the job board. Take Corporation #1, and post a mission saying I will pay them to destroy/damage Corporation #2. So they start doing that. But then it occurs to me that I still will have another competitor, and I want to have no competitors. So I post a mission for Corporation #2 that says I will pay them for damaging the enemy.
So my questions are,
1. Is this a viable tactic?
2. If so, will Corporation #1 and Corporation #2 eventually know what I'm doing and either a) stop taking the missions, or b) turn against me.

Missions Question
You have disobeyed God. Now you must pay the consequence.
