Hire escort?

hey guys!

is there anyway to hire a escort in a MP Server game from a NPC?

so that i dont have to get friends that are playing in the same server to escort me while im hauling cargo?

i had some escorts off liberty rogues in mp-games while transporting cardamine from buffalo to manhattan, but they where no real escorts... i let 1 past and he wanted to go to rochester...

but are mostly blown to dust by manhattan planet... so could do a safe landing before they die

Anyone with an Eagle and decent weps can go anywhere easily. I'd only charge like 10K per house system, 25K per border world system and 40K per Omicron System. Hey, I should start an escort service .

you can travel to all systems in a dagger... even to omega-41 and omega-11 without dieing... it's just boring when doing the same with better classed things...

and yup... i like to kill nomads with my pvp-outloaded dagger... sorry can't help it, it's just the fun

about the transport/escort... i don't care about trading, i'm a fighter, not a trader ... i mean, i'm a pirate and a fighter... but well... i know also other pirates

- edit; and i don't make sense right now... AARRGGGGHHHH, i'm drunk...

I do escort runs. My charge depends on what you're doing. Usually, if you're hauling cargo, I just ask for a percent of the trade-in value (not profit, total sale price), something like 15%. If you're just in need of protection, I occasionally offer my services for free. I tend to fly the Banshee and go as Tiberium.

I think you'll find most clans will provide an escort for you, but be carefull, some of them maybe way over the top! Our fees can be found at the mercenary navy online

I am part of the {ES} in the EUROPE server. Somehow, a lot of nomad ships have been raiding manhatten and a lot of house planets. I am assigned there to destroy them. If you join my clan, the {ES}, you will get a bunch of money and a sabre. If you like trading, i will be happy to escort on the server called EUROPE, for a small fee. 5k per system. Good enough for ya? Join the {ES} and hunt some nomads!!!

It stands for the European Squadron. We playon the EUROPE server to make sure that noobs can have a safe passage through manhatten. Lately, a lot of nomads have been raiding it. Check it out for yourself. For more info on the {ES} email me at [email protected]

I'm mstly seen as a trader. My comission for escorts depends on how many escorts I have, with a max of 3 at anytime.

1 escort will get 30% of my profit (cargo sold - cargo bought), 2 escorts 15% each, possibly 20% if my profit margin is high, and 10%-15% each for 3 escorts.

Why do I trade? just knowing I can buy protection from anyone, even players from opposing clans to take the hits for me in a fight or ambush. It's fun to be the kingpin of the tradelanes.
