No not "that" kind of escorting service ;)

So yeah I need to get a Golem from edge of high sec to my alliance jump bridge.

I cant use buddies to do it for reasons I cant go into and i cant use black frog as a couple of jumps go through player owned null. So I'm wondering if there's a legit go to escort service that would provide protection in my expensive ratting ship.

Sure I could find a service pretty quickly by posting an ad but also worried about getting jumped by said service.
Just wondered if there were any corps around that had established a great reputation for such a service therby limiting my risk.

I'll jump it to any system you want in my carrier, just name the origin point & destination in the contract comments.

Best bet is probably to hire a carrier pilot. Just make sure the deal is properly collateralized.

Very productive answer :)

Obviously If a corp were recommended I'd do some research. Not like I'd just say great to the first guy that said "hey I'll do it!"

He's "probably" ******* with you. He's a goon. If you decide too risk it, just make sure he pays you collateral when you hand over the BS.

Seems the best way, although I have posted null courier contracts in the past at fair rates but it seems the service only gets used by high sec freighters.

It depends on the area, but generally within a couple of hours of taking the job. Mail me for further enquiries & if you're happy with the terms (which are negotiable) I'll be able to perform the job tomorrow.

You cant use buddies for reasons you cant get into?

Sounds like AWOXer words to me!
Good thing you arent part of my coalition.

From the looks of this thread, you are going to end up paying someone to butt **** you so it is sort of similar.

A subtle warning, I noticed that character was recently purchased. Not sure if you knew you might be getting in over your head.

Please make sure you come back and tell us how it works out, inquiring minds want to know...

Reminds me of ori16. No doubt everyone has their own example.

The only way your going to get this done at any semblance of a reasonable price is to use someone blue to your destination.

Actually fleeting up and flying a fleet out is going to be stupid expensive, and smell like a trap to anyone you contract with. If they are going to be able to win against any real enemy, they are gonna need 15+ pilots, even a weak t1 cruiser escort is putting a bil of their ships at risk. I'd expect it to cost more then your ship is worth.

Assuming you don't have anyone with standings that can jump it, getting it jumped out is still gonna cost you a lot. A blackfrog run, with approximately 0 risk to them, starts at 75mil, and goes up from there. Your asking for someone to jump a cap into hostile space, where they wont be able to dock, and you are going to know they are coming. The number of pilots willing to pull something like that is a tiny fraction of cap capable pilots, and I doubt they will do it cheap for a stranger. (Oh yeah, and there is the pain for them of getting the cyno(s) in too, cause they sure aint gonna use yours)

Both of the above methods also run into the trust problem. How do you know they wont scam you like that goon plans to? Unlike a courier contract, there is no ingame collateral mechanism for either method.

I'm a carrier pilot check me on eve board to confirm.
Ill jump it for 75-100m depending on distance. Contact me said items. Make sure nothing is in cargo as carriers won't allow cargo in a ship for some stupid reason. Then mail me the info on where and when. Also make contact at least 2 weeks as I'm busy man.

This, times a hundred. Plenty of scum out there more than willing to just take your ship, so be sure to be paranoid alot, and then some.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
