Escorts and escorting

[Zukeenee]

Y'know, before the mining mod, my main character (my freelancer) didn't have much to do. I'm no good at PvP, so I couldn't hire myself out for battles, and no one ever wanted an escort. So I would just do a bunch of NPC missions, and role-play that I was doing jobs for actual people.

Then the mining mod came. After a few days of the mod, it became apparent to people that escorts were needed with such precious cargo. My freelancer started getting jobs. I ferried traders back and forth from Tremont to Narita, taking what I had learned from watching the Mandalorians, escorting the right way, keeping distance and watching my scanners. I wasn't so good at it at first. Sometimes I would fly too far ahead, or forget to tell my transport that the coast was clear, etc., but I more or less got the hang of it.

This is an excellent guide. It also gets the message out there that escorts really are needed these days, and so will hopefully create more jobs for myself and people in my situation. Also, thanks for adding that bit about payment. I once took a Kujira full of platinum ore to Narita and back again for just 2 million credits. That was a real let-down.
