' Wrote:Well, this is when you start on your route and look at IDs and specifically ask people in local. Someone will respond. Not like they have anything else to do sitting around chatting anyway.I'm only trying indies I can find. Generally, not many people tend to hang out around anywhere on my route except Malta, and the people at Malta always say no. No one close enough to see IFF, much less scan IDs.
What I mean is that you're not trying indies. At least, that is what you made it sound like. If they have the Outcast ID, they probably like Cardimine. Just a hunch.
My route is nearly dead; there's only one spot where I sometimes get human interaction.
Buffalo: dead
Niverton: dead
Allentown: dead
Freeport 10: dead
Malta: covered with indifferent indies
Before you tell me to change my route, let me say: NO U. It's the perfect route for my character and I, for many reasons.

[shameless advertising] if you see Kunzite online and need an escort, pm me. [/shameless advertising]
maybe it's an idea for mercs to put a [merc] tag in front of their name? so they can easy be recognised and hired?

Escorts hotline huhh? Well every time I reading that others can't find escorts this idea pops up in my mind. Just after that I realize that I'm only active on the other side, so I keep quiet. But hearing that decent cardi haulers cant find anyone looking after them... Its so sad. Maybe I'm spending too mutch time preaching down there on the planet. The peolple flying malteese space are so occupied with warmongering against the heretics that they forgetting our efforts to spread our holy plant? Duhh.
So the solution would be in my opinion a sirius-wide realtime channel for those who want or want to escort. Skype transmitting protocol is well suited for that. Anyone tryed this yet? If he did, he did it without raising publicity. Make that son and everyone will find what he's looking for.

As a pirate, I've found that I quite often get asked to escort traders. It tends to go something like this:
Me: Kill your engines trader. This is your unlucky day, cos I'm gonna strip you bare!
Trader: Ok, ok. What do you want. I am but a simple trader trying to make an honest living.
Me: Honest?! Hahahah! *scans cargo* Blimey, 5000 units of silver ore eh? Looks like it's my lucky day! You gonna have to dig deep into those pockets of yours and find 5 million credits, or you're gonna be crawling back to your bosses with nothing but space dust..........
Trader: Weeellllll........................ how's about you escort me to where I'm going, that way I don't lose out more than once. I'll pay you 8 million to get me safe to Narita.
Me: 8? For escort duty? You got yourself a good idea there lad! Half now, and half on your safe delivery to Narita. Deal?
Trader: Deal. I hope that junkheap of yours can hold its own against bombers.......................
So, if you can't find an escort from the folks around you, just ask the first pirate you run into!
