Imply difficulty in Contract description

Regarding (mostly) Search/Haul contracts: Same feedback, I still don't know what I am signing up for.

I accepted several and could only finish one in my beginner vehicle. It ruined my reputation because I could not back out after I saw it was too far away. The lowest-paying was also the easiest, but the target of the next better paying one (a few percent more) was already unreachable for a beginner.

Could you at least add an implicit difficulty hint in the text description? It doesn't have to spell out the distance as a number.

What about a variable line of text like "The lost cargo is very close to here, I'd be embarrassed if the others saw me." (means beginner-friendly), or "Are you prepared for a trip over the horizon?" (means intermediate), or "We need someone who knows their way around the edge of the solar system." (advanced, needs jump drive), or similar.
