You should hire an escort when doing trade runs through hostile or unsafe space. After all, trading ships are not meant for combat, but for carrying cargo..
What! Whatever he wants. That can't be right. I thought Igiss made a rule saying the max you can ask is 2 mil?!??
If there isn't a rule, there should be. If not, there will be pirates going around saying " Pay be 4 bil for ill blow you up "
(If you find any mistake in my English, please let me know via a PM)
(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
Look, thats exaclty the point. I can aske for whatever I want.. nothing saying I'll get paid. But people will get tired of blowing up every time they run into me, and some will oay the fine. Paying 10mil for 3 hours of uninterrupted trading isn't unreasonable.
EDIT: And, untill such a time as the rules are ammended, I'll keep doing it. It isn't a rule if it was discussed in some thread that noone can even find.

Why else do you think that all the major companies have wings of escorts that attack the enemy while the transports run away?
Give the sso| and other escorting firms something to do. In 3 hours of uninterupted trading, people make tens of millions. 10 million should be a small dent compared to their profits.
Heck, think of it as a customs duty if you get so angry over it.

And a word in general to pirates, offer something back, like an escort or something.

Well the bomber is illegal...I distinctly remember that rule being put into place. I remember the entire discussion and everything...Or else I will be buying a bomber for my LWB wing...
Well, tank, as much as I hate bombers, I have to admit that it is nowhere to be found in the official rules thread, meaning that it is more or less on the same plane as the gentlemen's agreement of no shield running.
I also know that it was discussed, but that does not make it an official rule.

And, remember, that the RH bomber is right out rp-wise. The Taiidian is GMG ship, who have no love for Rheinland, and would gladly sell them to their enemys.

You may consider Homeworld-originating ships civilian ones, made by GMG but available elsewhere. There's no other way I can explain their selling locations anyway, and got no other bases to put them for sale. Sorry.
And can someone let me know what trade route are we talking about here?
