Very good point. Why pay an escort a guaranteed 2mil? if you can just go alone,and maybe pay nothing?
Well 1 reason is that lately alot of peep's out there saying drop your cargo. Yes your whole cargo. now 5000 silver ore is what? 50mil? That is utter BS,and the 1 who said this to me got all my gun's in return,and when i was about to blow up i dropped the cargo,and fired on it myself. I find demand's like this to be POWER Pirating,and/or just to lazy to mine yourself, so they just take it from those who spend hour's mining it themselves, or pay a miner half it's worth in order to transport it. Now a miner transporting ore? well last i read, they cannot land on the profitable bases.So blow them to hell,or Screen them docking on said bases.
