Transport companies/services

[Mokkochi]

How viable would be transportation services in a game like Starbase? Lets say a person would like to run a bussiness of transporting cargo for others. Towing ships. Transporting others. Etc etc?

The developers have strongly implied it, and many players have asked for it, but currently it has not been implemented and there are no definite details on how you would manage the exchange where one person pays another to transport something.

I don't think transportation services would work without insurance. But someone could sell you their cargo and let you take on the risk.

Well if can't afford to loss a ship you can hire an armed transport to get the job done.

we could follow in the footsteps of the great Bruce Willis and drive taxi's like in 5th Element.

I could see factions making orders for certain resources/materials/ships from mining and factory companies.

Surely there will be "trucker" like jobs sooner or later. Every base needs resources, right?

I strongly believe that Starbase is going to have it's unique ecosystem like EVE does and everyone will find their comfortable job.

Companies just like this are already being organized such as the Artemis Cargo Corporation.
