' Wrote:Today, mining without an escort is suicidal. Now, the question is, how well do you pay your escorts? Comparedly to trading, you can give them a very good salary, one that they can live off from. Since I know my escorts personally, and I know they're reliable, I give them around 15 million credits per full run, and it's not even half my profits!
And yoooou? <.< >.>
It's hardly suicidal, you've just gotta recognize where the most pirated zones are (Shikoku, The fields themselves and New Tokyo). Escorts don't Protect my cargo as I get blown sky high before they can do anything so I don't have any. I find it more fun to RP with pirates when it's just one on one. It makes for a more enjoyable experience because they don't feel threatened and you can actually have a conversation with them. I like to talk, not run like a fool (unless the situation allows it and then it's still a fully calculated decision).
