One of the few ways to amass ISK directly using a transport ship, transport contracts can be accepted from a station and fulfilled automatcially. A [[Contracts#Courier Contract|courier contract]] is simply being paid to haul someone else's cargo. It is ''very important'' to use due dilligence and familiarize yourself with [[Scams_in_EVE_Online#Contract_Scams|contract scams]] prior to accepting any contract, as things such as inaccessible stations or ganking will leave you unpaid, possibly down a ship, and out the collateral. | |||
