as long as it is leased you get paid and you can revoke contract anytime
That's be very handy, and it'd give a use for Passenger accommodation on ships. A couple of other things that'd be good to add to commercial ships:
The ability to hire commmercial ships and place them under your control (like the Royal Navy's idea of Ships Taken Up From Trade), possibly with a hefty cash maintenance fee.
Naming for commercial ships... for each class of commercial ship, choose a random naming theme and then name the ships from that class with that theme prefixed by the company name (so Carson Interstellar Transport's ships would be named, for example, Carson Eagle and Carson Bluefinch rather than Carson F3 0001)
