The Intergalactic Shipping Network is looking for able and willing pilots to work part time as couriers! All nations are invited to join! Don't think of it as a job but as an opportunity to gain some extra money. All money paid by the customer goes right into your pocket! Now I know what you are saying. "Couldn't I do this on my own? Why should I join a company to carry cargo?" The answer is yes, you could do this on your own. But wouldn't you feel more secure knowing that a group of people can back you up in a time of need? And it makes the customer feel more secure knowing that a group of people who can be trusted are taking care of their cargo and can be held responsible for any lost cargo.

Our goal is to provide a friendly and cheap courier service for people who can't fit all of their cargo in their ship, need some cargo that they forgot in a station, or who lost cargo due to a pirate attack/death. All of these services we can provide with your help! More than ever this service is needed. With the discovery of short jump engines a whole new universe has opened up to us. But that also means it can take a long time to get anywhere.

*Our current rates are 50c for every cargo we bring, and 500c for every jump taken to the destination spot. (Wormholes included)

If you are interested in joining contact myself or Niki ingame or email at

or
Contact a ISN member ingame if you have a job request.

ISN, Leading the way for a better tomorrow.

*Price is subject to change for changes in public demand.

and if you mean how can we get the cargo that they forgot? Simple the mission dosent care if they dont have the exact cargo given to them, all it wants is that type of cargo, so we buy the cargo needed take it to the person, have them pay for the buy price of the cargo + the normal fees and there ya go mission completed. This isent realy ment to be an thing to save money, its to save time and get a more missions done so that the player can gain more trade exp.

Well, you can talk to Spell since I am no longer in command, but the SDF used to run cover for an old trader's guild, now defunct, but we escorted haulers and convoys and such. Spellcast might be willing to talk if you wanted to charter out some sort of defense network for using during long distance flights...I dunno.

I like the idea though, it has the definite ability to become VERY lucrative, although, I suggest you protect the investment and be careful of other people trying to get a pice of the action by impersonating your people or forming another supplier guild.
