Edited by: Mishi Bangbang on 06/12/2004 23:41:59 Had that offer before... read the mission header: "Slave Transformation". In RP, i'd call the offer an act of good will from the agent.
bang
*btw, is the agent located below 0.5sec space ?...

This would be great if there was a way to transport slaves to free them. The current contraband system is causing slaves to be left to die in loot cans, and causing other to miss out on oppertunities like these.

I'd assume some of those might be asked for as part of other offers and are only available through offers as well - only problem is if everyone holds on to their loyalty points for things like cruisers/named items etc then where are you going to be able to get hold of these rare items.

The logic behind this is that the slaves you rescued are being given an opportunity to become a valued citizen through a reeducation program. Slaves are however just people, they have different qualities and different abilities. The fact that so many of them become exotic dancers and janitors is simply because we do not have every profession imagineable represented ... and you may need them later for another offer.
Another issue is: 'Why are these people treated like slaves if they are free'? Well technically they aren't treated like slaves, they are treated very well in your ship (despite being put into your cargo hold, they really are not located next to your stash of biohazard). They are passengers, and although you can trade them into slavery in some cases, you cannot mistreat them, the feature for that simply isn't available.

Zrakor thanks for responding to the topic but I do believe you missed out on the vital part. How the bloody hell are we supposed to get slaves there ? Since they are contraband that's kinda impossible.

It isn't supposed to be impossible. If it is, or if the risk isn't worth it, then that is a bug for the contraband balancing team.

There is a way to rescue slaves without risk. And that is getting the mission in the same system as your agent. As long as customs isn't guarding the station that is. Before exodus, I moved my rescued slaves to one of my bases in amarr space. At least they could be moved freely there. Now I consider that as a mistake. I wish there could be possible to get some kind of pass for say the period of the offer. A pass where you could move the contraband asked for freely inside the region where the faction of the agent controls. That way you could transport all the slaves (or other contraband) that you've stationed on other stations.
This could be very "abuseable" but imho not in a bad way. What's the chance of getting that offer anyway.

Well, yes, from an RP perspective, it doesn't make very much sense that customs would shoot you down.
But... this agent offer is by far the most lucractive of any agent offers I've seen so far (like 200 mil profit for very few LPs), if you get all the slaves together.
So, if it is at all possible (like, by transporting the Slaves in a fast frig with instas), it is IMO a great idea for an agent offer. I'd take it over the usual '2 mil isk for 10 gazillion dog tags and 3k loyalty points' anyday, because it is a bit of a challenge.

Also FYI, custom agents do not currently shoot you down for possessing contraband. They do confiscate the contraband and fine you however.

Question I have, is is this offer ever given by Gallente agents?
Collectively our corp has like 5,000 or so slaves that need repatriation from attack the slaver missions in Gallente systems.
