In the future, just say you need to hire some mercs. Don't need to be so specific until they start contacting you.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

in all seriousness though, for anyone who is still reading this post... if you are in a WH that has a status lowsec entrance, and you feel that the only "safe" way to get your orcas in and out is to use an out-of-corp escort service, how do you expect to move any of your other gear in and out, like POS fuels, loots, ship hulls, and all the crap you need to survive and thrive inside a WH?

Bottom line, if you amd your group are not capable of getting some orcas through lowsec into your WH without merc help, maybe you shouldn't be in that WH yet. Start a little lower on the WH Risk meter.

Nothing time saving dealing with mercs. Nothing a sure thing dealing with mercs either. You're more likely to get scammed & ganked than find a merc corp that will actually honor the deal.

I hired mercs once...once.....!

Don't ban me, bro!

Yes, that's the conclusion we came to. So, we pursued another option and have moved into our WH. The operation took a few extra hours, but it was cheaper and more secure.

No doubt the men were cheering and whooping on comms when the operation was completed successfully ?

Join the Merc Contracts channel, theres a full list of Legit mercs in eve. They all honour what they get paid for, else report them to a mod and they'll get removed from the list.

LOL - this IS the "Crime & Punishment" forum... Know your audience.

A possible mechanic for future consideration: jump freighter. Load up goods in hisec, cyno to lowsec within docking radius of a station, dock and transfer goods, push goods into w-space via orcas or T1 haulers. Provide your own local escort and don't forget to make insta-warps.
