' Wrote:You are really really wrong about the escorts,first they can deal with the pirates just perfect if you know what are you doing,and second the idea of Escort pilot is not to fight/kill the pirates but to secure the miners and the ore transports, good escort squad can do many nice things.
Escorts are expensive and in many cases transport is blown up first before escort can do something. It's hard to find good escort.
Your escort don't even need to shoot at the pirate, even starflya can be good escort if it is flown well , dig around the forum ,some guy posted a very useful escort guide.
I see nothing expensive here even if you pay the escort 50% of your win because if you meet me or other pirate in Dublin you will loose your cargo, it is simple don't be greedy and you will be able to hire supreme escorts and you will win more in credits /fun /RP in long term.

I am a very good escort pilot, the last escort I did I had two encounters with pirates and they ended up going away as I was watching them and they knew it.
Also with the company I will be able to train pilots, and show how to set up good patrols as well as training for escort duties.
And Escorts are not expensive unless your doing small profit routes, in which case theres no point of a pirate really going for you. I always tend to end up with nice bonuses, for some reason aswell, most likely because I know how to escort and I tell them what to do and take charge of situations straight away).

The only pirates that are in Dublin ought to be Bucs, Outcasts and the Corsairs.
All save the Bucs tend to get their asses kicked out by the Mollys.
In all, to be the most effective, make a Molly character and offer to protect miners for a cost.
that does not matter as I will not be getting a contract with the forces of Bretionia, this is a private organisation that will be hired by a private corperation to ensure there safty not Bretionias safty.

I guess you're talking about scouting. Yes that could be nice. I must read this guide. since i started trade in rheinland i still meet "1MILIARDAII" pirates. One of them tried to shot me down when i was 30m to mooring point. *facepalm*
I have contacted a few Mining corperations and I am waiting on there replies. If they are succesful I will be opening recruitment in side your nearby planets or bases.
If you are a independant miner please contact me or I may contact you in flight.
I will be hoping that flight of operations will be from 17:00 to at least 20:00 hours SMT, I would like to make these hours longer. but it will depend on contracts and I would also be happy to make a wing for other times, this will depend on contract details as well. The more hours VPS get, and pilot allowance the more protection those corperations and Independant miners will have.
