I have 900000 m3 worth of gear located several jumps into low sec that I need moved several jumps into hi sec and was wondering figuring that I would put a 300mil collateral on it with a week to complete the contract what would be a worthwhile payout per jump to have someone freight it for me? The cargo could be broken down into smaller lots of at least 216000 m3

Not sure. I wouldn't take my Freighter in there.

They usually want that colllateral even just for major High-Sec Trade Hubs. I know I would not take my freighter into a major Trade Hub without Collateral for half the Freighter on top, and I'm sure that will be the story with whomever, especially for Low sec.....probably more.

An Orca will carry 90,000 - 100,000 depending, plus Assembled ships in Maintenance Bay, and can do the Cloak/MWD trick if skilled and trained correctly.

Not sure of a hauling service with Jump Freighters...........

Red Frog Freight won't even do Low sec.

I'm musing here, but out of ideas.



Mayhaps sell all you can at higher Low Sec prices and let THEM deal with it all. Re-buy everything lower in High Sec. Profit. Blink

Just out of curiosity, I checked jump frog (Red frog's low sec service). Put in a generic route 3 systems into low into a HS system (you said several so i picked 3).

Their fee from the calculator came to 45mil. That is for a max of 350,000m3 of space and 1.5bil of collateral.

So if you split into 3 shipments to meet that, it would be 135mil.

Of course that was just to get it to the first HS system. Although to move it from there it would likely be cheaper to then contract it to red frog for regular freight.

I guess the answer is that it would be more economical to either fly the ships to the nearest low sec system and freight them from there or strip them and contract the rigged ships, thanks for the replies

Thanks for the Jump Frog reminder !!!!! It's been awhile................

Im guessing you meant to say nearest High sec system?

But yea depending on the ships and the systems, it may be easier to fit them for travel and just fly them out.

The Red Frog family is:
Red Frog - hisec only, 1 bill max collateral
Black Frog - losec/nosec (hisec portions included)
Blue Frog - hisec, high collateral
Jump Frog - free jump clones!

max capacity for a jump freighter is 360k m3 for the Rhea, less for the other races. So you'd be looking at approx 3 contracts. Feel free to contact us in channel Black Frog if you still need help.
