A large shipment of food carried on the Boulder class cargo ship Gibraltar is expected to arrive on Earth in a few days. Reports of mercenary activity on the route between Venus and Earth has the captain on edge, and he has requested an escort. The mercenaries have several Baldr class frigates, and two Thors operating in the area. Expect to encounter at least a part of their force.

Threat level: 4
Payout: 25 Cr.
Job Openings: 2

Hey Griel, can we leave the resistance to this one open? Obsidian might make a surprise visit :P Or you can leave the resistance intact and I still come in lol.

I honestly have no clue what you just asked me. Are you taking this job or not?

No I don't want the job. I want to have Obsidian try and rob the ship. So I would be the bad guy. Or the normal bad mercs could still attack the ship but Obsidian comes in as they are trying to rob the ship and she trys and kill them and then rob the ship lol.

Basically Obsidian attacks this ship.

O....k? Idk how that will work, there isnt money on the ship, its just food. Why would you attack it? It defeats the purpose of this job board

Well instead of you playing the resistance, Obsidian (Who would try and rob the ship for the same reasons as the mercs) would attack the people escorting the ships. I don't know how you do not understand this. Earth is starving so they would pay for the food. Obsidian is a pirate so she would steal the food and then sell it.

I think this could be a good idea for all the jobs. Like there is the opposite side to the job. If someone accepts the job, instead of a random group of resistance, there is a actual character trying to stop them. Or if no body wants the job a bad character, like Obsidian, could take it for the opposite reasons and there could be a generic escort.

Simply put there is a good side and bad side to every job.

Ok, I get that. But I think you should only be able to "Pirate" an escort mission if there is already a member doing the actual escort. Otherwise, its totally unfair to basically automatically get resources you can just auction off to the highest bidder. Unless you want to get the same amount of money as you would for doing the job normally.

Yeah that is waht I mean. If the person does that "Bad" side and is succsesful they get the same amount of money as the good side would get
