BRAVE Freight

BRAVE provides an alliance Jump Freighting service to its members. This document describes how to use the service and the rules for its use. Any questions? Ask in #hauling on Slack!

BLT. haulers try to finish contracts within ~8 hours of accepting; packages to and from Jita may take a little longer. This isn't always possible, however, depending on circumstances. If a contract is taking longer than expected, try reaching out first.

Note: Since many people are still focused on moving, there may be delays. Apologies on higher prices at the moment, isotopes got really expensive!

  • route rate x volume + 0.75% collateral
  • over 3b isk: see below

High-collateral charge:

  • For every 3b over 3b
  • Over 60,000m3:
    • + 20 million / 3b
  • Under 60,000m3:
    • + 10 million / 3b
    • (this is about half-off!)
  • Replaces collateral %

Minimum rate:

  • Route-specific, depends on traffic

Contact

For general questions, ask in #hauling on Slack.

For questions or concerns about a specific contract, contact Arian Felou on Slack (unless you know the Slack info for the person who accepted your contract).

Collateral

Make sure that your collateral accurately reflects the value of your cargo. In addition to protecting you from losses and theft, this helps JF pilots estimate how much risk they are taking. BPC value needs to be found separately, if the BPCs have value.

Collateral over 3 billion isk in highsec is charged as either 10 million or 20 million isk for each additional 3 billion after the first - e.g. 1x for 3-6b, 2x for 6-9b, etc. Package volumes that are small enough to fit into a DST use the lower fee of 10 million per additional 3b. This is meant as a discount for putting high-value cargo into smaller packages for safety.

For collateral over the maximum: treat this as if it were the maximum value on the calculator, but charge the full collateral on the in-game contract. If it's going into highsec, try to keep this in blockade runner sized or smaller.
