To interested merc and/or low sec dwelling parties,

Precipice Industries is looking for a quote for the removal of an Interbus Customs Office located in Minnie Low Sec. System is moderately used but a small battleship group would likely go unnoticed in local.

Contract would suit a small or medium sized merc corp who have a couple hours on their hands with the chance of incidental pvp.

Price is negotiable but payment will not be delivered in full till CO has been removed and a Precipice Industries replacement is securely anchored and in orbit.

For more information please feel free to contact me ingame.

Im flexible in regards to the timings of this removal, so if it happens overnight or in two weeks time im not really fussed.

Cheers,

Papamike

I admire your support of the Minmatar small business, but I would like to ask this question before putting in my bid. If you do not have the means with which to remove a customs office, how do you propose to defend yours?

I am asking as I am currently investigating the possibility of selling protection contracts to the owners of POCOs that do not have the means to defend them themselves. It would be a monthly contract for 24/7 protection of your space asset.

1) Call in friends to hotdrop the area. They would come for kb padding but are too busy (as am I) to sit shooting a CO for a couple hours.
OR
2) Rely on no-one actually worrying putting in the effort to pop a poco on a crappy planet that would generate them no real income
OR
3) Hire mercs to defend the POCO
Or
4) Watch it pop and shrug. No great loss

Depends on size of threat and situation I guess.

Good Luck on the idea of protection contracts, though I dont know how you would actually be able to a) implement such an idea to give 23/7 coverage and b) convince people that you will actually show up when needed. Remember its a low(ish) investment to actually put up these POCO, so your service would have to be fairly cheap unless you were looking at guarding high value planets
