Anyone knows how to give money to other players?

I think I couls use some defense when I get back to the bubble if I play in Open (wich I prefer, but if no way to find a merc then I'll stay on solo) so I'd like to know if I can pay another player in order to get his services as a escort.

Drop cargo for them. Only way. If you're a trader wing up+that to give your escort better profit.

Seems like a good idea, get comodities for the price we agree and give them to him after I reach my destination. Thanks for the idea, will use it for a lot of things, especially for paying the fuel rats for their efforts.
 
How much do you get as part of a wing? I'm sure I read 5%? Would be nice if you could set profit splits for each wing member. Maybe even different values for different earnings i.e Trader can take 75% profit and 25% goes to the escort for trade earnings(or however you want to set it) but you could also set combat/bounty earnings to go mostly/all to the escort.

I know that's not a feature, I just think it would be cool :D

It matches 5% of your profit copies it and gives it so the trader loses nothing(how I understand it work's), I believe that's why you can't set it.

Thats quite good. So in theory if you were to hire someone to escort you then they'll get 5% at no cost to you and then potentially you can also jettison some cargo in an isolated area for them to pick up and sell back to make up any additional payment.

From what I gather, yes. It's possible I misunderstood, but I am 75% sure I did understand correctly.

That is correct. One thing to keep note of is to make sure that your escorts are near the station when you sell otherwise they won't get their trade voucher. Also if you jettison cargo for them be sure you abandon the cargo otherwise it will be illegal salvage
