They've probably got a smartbombing battleship sat on the undock to kill whoever tries to run the contract in a 'ceptor.

Most likely it's being run from a kick-out station too, so you can't get back into dock.

Not really a matter for this board, though.

This will be fun, SB battleship on a highsec station undock. Lol

Destination is likely a citadel where you cannot dock, or once the contract is accepted, they change the docking rights.

It sure looks like it is NPC Dodixie 20. Still thinking about taking it for lulz.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

They may not want to bear the normal risk or bother of hauling it themselves.

I've put up 1 or 2 jump contracts back when I couldn't fly any t2 ship, and a 1b blueprint was too much risk for me to fly around with. As long as its station to station you'll probably be fine.

That's cool and all, but you literally can't activate them to any useful effect on most station undocks.

it doesn't need to be a smart bombing BS. A thrashed could Insta pop a poor fit travel interceptor and the bond would be lost. And 2 bil will net you a lot of tornados. Isn't the usual safety don't for a freighter carrying more than a bil? So this contract could even be a trap for a freighter.

I made a contract like that one once or twice, mostly if I wanted to move a lot of expensive BPOs without risking trouble. The only difference is, I actually offered a reward high enough to make people take the contract. With this low of a reward, it really looks more like a trap.
