Dear Sir/Madam,

I am veteran mercenary and I won't work "for food" in gray space.

I will only guard convoy if you pay me good money for risk.

So, I demand at least 15,000 credits for every sector I fly with your convoys in gray.

If I escort your ships from Latos C-2 to Sol ll K-8 (12 sectors), it means I expect to receive 180,000 credits + % of commodities value, not 6k or at least let me know that contract is less than 50k and I won't start it at all.

Please don't forget life-insurance of your pilots and their ships costs much more than my demands.

Otherwise, please hire low-skilled pilots, hope they won't ruin your profit and lives.

Stay safe!

Yah Uncle Xi, youse guys might wanna do that.

Rin Ganborro resumes munching his stolen breakfast on his throne built from the bones of countless greyspace moth pilots. The throne menaces with spikes of Xithricite. On the throne are images of dwarves from a caravan. The dwarves are crying.

Creepy, Rin.

+1 for convoy pay relating directly to distance as well as to convoy profit. Travelling from Latos to Metana for 9k is ridiculous.

I heard someone on 100 say they had a convoy carrying free power cells (or one of the free items, I forget which). I'm going to say that convoys probably shouldn't carry any 0 cr items. That should help eliminate some of the really low paying convoys.

Cargo scanners and the ABORT button are your friends. Just saying.
