Other: Escort

I love the idea of being the 'hired muscle' protecting valuable transport ships or V.I.P's and what if unknown to me the transport ship I'm escorting is carrying stolen or illegal goods and the cops shop up and order me to stand down while they take the ship into custody, I'd have to make a choice about where my priorities are. Another big appeal of this is the idea of being 'fighter cover' to a MASSIVE transport ship, which would be cool.

As my ratings improved and I started to get a rep, it would be nice to have people seeking me out and I'm not just talking 'missions' but ongoing main game stuff, say an invite to join an elite (if you'll pardon the pun) mercenary group.

Of course the ideal would be to set up your own...The A Team! Going around the galaxy and lending people a hand, say you hear about a remote space station that is outside the reach of the law, every month a ruthless pirate gang show up and demand 'protection money,' but then you and your group show up and send them to Hell! :D
:cool:

That idea sounds magnificent Redtrot, there's not 7 mercenaries in this group by any chance? :D

As long as you are able build a Large Cabbage Accellerator.

And the enemy ships can't explode. They'll just have to crash into a convenient nearby asteroid so that the crew can climb out, coughing.

Surely a Large Parsnip Accellerator would be more deadly?

Professions I'd love to see:

Bartender, oh crap you blew up your ship! Now you have to waste 4 in game months scaping up tips for a cheap shuttle.

Interplentary courier, deliver peoples mail between system.

interplantary shuttle taxi, get a personell shuttle for slightly more and haul people from one planet to another

small time trader, you're sick of vomit in your shuttle! Time to start trading now you can afford a rust bucket with an engine.

cargo hauller take on contracts for more money, someone wants this amount of this by then, time to stock up and shift stuff!

self employed sole trader, trade on the stockmarket, take risks, invest in companies, take risks.

pirate, what's there's is yours!

bounty hunter, what's there's is yours plus the goverement pays ya for it!

miner, find rock, chase off the locals, and hope you hit the motherload.

builder, build bases, manufacture goods, and fight off endless pirate attacks.

Con man, live life by your witts, everyone wants something for nothing, instead you give them nothing for something! Then blast out of there for at least six months!

manufacturer, make stuff. Sell it.

refiner, buy ore, make it usable t

Intersellar tourist transport, fight off the pirates, thrill a bunch of rich arses you'd rather flush out an airlock.

explorer, get paid to land on, and mark uncharted plantes in the name of your goverement. Beware, if you're detected by another goverement or the local pirates, and they kill you, or destroy your beacon before you get back to freindly space to report your claim, it won't be legal. Remember it's not the explorer who finds the worlds, it's the explorer who gets back first! The better the planet, the harder it is to hand on to, the shorter your time span, and the more money cooperations will pay to own it.

Planet owner, why explore for others, setup illegal bases, manage and defend them. OR die trying!

Thargoid war hero! Fly into witch space with a special drive, navigate the hazards, bring back a tharoid trophie (or wife? who knows!)
