====== 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.

<fc #ffff00>**Note: We are testing charging for collateral only on routes to or from highsec, as well as minimum charges. For your safety, always charge collateral for the contract.**</fc>

/* <alert type="warning">Due to high ganking risk during the Crimson Harvest, packages going TO Jita from K7D are currently limited to under 180,000m3 and 5 billion isk. The route FROM Jita to K7D is unchanged. Higher collateral can still be placed in packages under 60,000m3 (just reverse the route, //only// for small packages), but smaller than 13,000m3 is better.

Expect delays going to Jita during this time.</alert> */

/* <fc #ffff00>**Note: Limits on collateral and volume for packages going TO Jita may sometimes be added based on space-weather.**</fc> */

=== 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).

=== Formula ===

The below formula reflects how the hauling fee can be calculated in Google Sheets or Excel:

''Reward = RATE * Volume + min(Collateral * 0.0075, 3000000000 * 0.0075) + (ceiling(Collateral/3000000000)-1) * if(Volume > 60000, 20000000, 10000000)''

In this formula, RATE is the rate for the route, which depends on distance. The volume cost is added to the collateral cost up to 3 billion isk.

=== 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 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.

<fc #87ceeb>For collateral over the maximum:</fc> treat this as if it were the maximum value on the calculator and try to keep this in blockade runner sized or smaller. Charge the full collateral on the in-game contract.

==== How to set up a contract ====

You can make a contract by selecting the items in your hanger or in your asset window and right-clicking, or you can go to your Neocom / Business / Contracts to create a contract and check on the status of existing contracts.

<well>
    * Contract Type: Courier
    * Availability: Private
    * Name: Brave Little Toaster. (The dot is important - check that it is the corp in Brave United)
      * Click next
    * Select station and items (pre-selected if you right-clicked your items to start)
      * Click next
    * Ship To: a supported station (double-check the name)
    * Reward: Use the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]]
    * Collateral: Set to at least 105% [[https://appraise.gnf.lt/|Jita sell value]] of the contracted items, even if you aren't being charged for it
    * Expiration: 7 days
    * Days to complete: 3 days
    * Description: Include a link to an [[https://appraise.gnf.lt/|appraisal]] of the contents

//Tips:// You can split stacks of items remotely in the second step of the contract window - right click + "split stack". You can link Brave or Imperium citadels to a neutral alt and drag the name into the destination window.
