[ANNOUNCEMENT] OxH - Orbital Hunters For Hire [NEW PRICING]

Orbital x Hunters Open For Business on NA

Hello everyone! I wanted to make an announcement with pricing and contact information.

We just took our first contract today and plan on fulfilling as many as we can get our hands on.

Below, you’ll find our rate card, code of ethics, and contact information.


SERVICES AND PRICING

Pricing based on a few factors: Time, Whether or not it’s interesting to us, and Risk

"
CONTRACTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED VALID UNTIL 50% DEPOSIT COMPLETED. 
  ***50% of DEPOSIT (25% of contract) NON-REFUNDABLE.***
"

Reconnaissance Missions:

50K Credits (25K Deposit) (12.5K Non-Refundable)

TIME:30 Minutes | INTEREST: LOW | RISK: LOW

Want us to check out a planet or orbit for you before you jump? Let us make sure it’s safe. We’ll give the all clear and wait in orbit for you to arrive once we’ve determined a planet is safe.

"
WE WILL NOT ATTACK ANYONE VIA THIS CONTRACT.
"

Bodyguard Duty

100K Credits / Hour (50K Deposit / Hour) (25K Non-Refundable / Hour)

TIME: 1 Hour | INTEREST: MODERATE | RISK: MODERATE

Make sure you get out with your ore, ship, and hide intact. We’ll make regular sweeps of the orbit and planet for 1 hour per 100K Credits. We will give you a warning when your time is almost up to safely escort you should you wish to have an escort to your CV (just in case).

"
WE WILL SHOOT ANYTHING THAT COMES CLOSE TO YOU. 
TARGETS WILL RECEIVE ONE WARNING SHOT AND A CHAT WARNING BEFORE OBLITERATION.
"

ASSASSINATIONS

250K Credits / Target (125K DEPOSIT / Target) (62.5K Non-Refundable / Target)

TIME: Days | INTEREST: HIGH | RISK: HIGH

Our favorite activity. The hunt.

Did your base get wiped out while you were away? Did someone just randomly hit your travel CV, stealing all your hard earned ores?

Make them pay. We’ll take a screenshot with our chat visibly identifying ourselves as bounty hunters on contract to kill your target just before we begin attacking, and a screenshot afterwards with their backpack, proving the death.

SHIP THEFT

500K Credits / Target (250K DEPOSIT / Target) (125K Non-Refundable / Target)

TIME: Days | INTEREST: VERY HIGH | RISK: VERY HIGH

This is a tricky job, hence the price.

If you’d like us to, we’ll assassinate your target AND preserve the ship in the process. In general, this requires us to:

  1. Not get hit while hitting critical components (warp cores, turrets, weapons, cockpits, etc)
  2. Sit around dangerously while the other hunter places a core, cockpit, and any other functional needs
  3. Dock our ships and fly the new ship home to you.

Don’t Have The Credits? Here are other ways to pay

We will take bounties for the following materials/exchange of services. Our most important asset is time, so if you can help us reduce the time it takes to have fun in the game, we’ll take that as payment.

IMPORTANT - THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON EXCHANGED GOODS/SERVICES. 
IE: we won't give you a stack of reactor cores back if you withdraw from the contract. 
Credits are the only thing we will issue refunds on.
  1. Ships - Build two replacement ships for us and we’ll consider it square. First ship is required up front.
  2. Components - We require at least 1 hour reduction from components you give us. For reference, that’s about 150 or so reactor cores.
  3. Fuel - 10-20 stacks of Fusion Cells only (not regular fuel cell or large fuel cells - FUSION ONLY)
  4. Ammo - 2 Cargo Boxes (70 total stacks) full of stacks of ammo.
  • We want: Railgun Ammo, Pulse Laser Ammo, or Plasma Cannon Ammo
  1. FOR BODYGUARD AND RECONNAISSANCE MISSIONS ONLY:
  • A percentage of the stacks of ore you earn, up to 75% of the stacks.
  • If you pay 25% of the contract price in creds, you will owe 75% of Ore Mined
  • If you pay 50% of the contract price in creds, you will owe 50% of Ore Mined
  • If you pay 75% of the contract price in creds, you will owe 25% of Ore Mined

CODE OF ETHICS

  1. We will do any of the above contracts for the named prices, and not a cred less.
  2. We will never do anything for free, even if we really like you. Our time is precious. Don’t Ask. See #1.
  3. We will never shoot on sight unless you are the mark or you shot at us first (even if it’s just a turret)
  4. We will shoot you on sight just for the resources and practice if you are lawless or pirate (unless we’re too busy with another mark).
  5. We will take a contract from ANYONE (even lawless or pirate).
  6. We will provide all possible proof of each target’s demise. Should we fail to provide proof, we will return 50% of your deposit.
  7. We will never stop working a contract until it’s complete or you wish to cease doing business with us.
  8. We will hunt YOU MULTIPLE TIMES if you stiff us the last 50% payment.
  9. WE WILL NEVER DIVULGE THE NAMES OF OUR CUSTOMERS. EVER.

I love this, it’s a huge step towards actual role play =)

Just a note on cash; With a pirate-zerg occupying the gold planet, not all of us are swimming in money and i have no intention to go and commit turret-suicide on their doorstep for the off chance that they’re sleeping/offline/occupied.

Maybe you would be open for some kind of “joint operations”, like protection while mining against a fixed payment in advance and a percentage of what is mined? The percentage and “pre payment” subject to negotiations per situation of course. Doesn’t even have to be gold, I’m sure there are other commodities that could be mutually interesting.

Just an idea. I have nothing of that kind planned atm, but it would be interesting to hear what you think?

Noticed just now that you’re NA, which would complicate things … we’re on EU.

Thanks!! We’re super excited about the factions on this server and excited to get some fighting in for our customers.

Great point. Blockade running is going to be tough/impossible even for a well outfitted hunter crew. Although, if a bunch of hunters / alliance joined forces and pushed the blockade out, that would mean a lot of cash flow for all parties (but the pirates :stuck_out_tongue:)

Love this. I’ll be adjusting our post with what I think would be a fair exchange. But your idea gave me one more:

Part of the payment could be a percentage of earned resources during protection (really love this, will be updating shortly), but also, we’re almost always wanting Power Coils and such (anything with Zasco/Erestrum in the component), as well as replacement ships (or equivalent ores) and ammo (Rail Gun, Plasma Cannon, and Pulse Lasers).

So all of those could really be used as payment. As long as the payment saves us time, I think that’s a good incentive for both customer and hunter crew.

I love it. I’ll implement your suggestions shortly in this post :slight_smile:

Only slightly. Talked it over with the other members and we’re interested in hopping onto the other servers if we’re on when you’re on. But yeah, we may want to start recruiting EU hunters if they’re interested since it’ll be tough for us to be awake while EU is active.
