That\u2019s where we come in. Welcome back for another round of OP.NET, the only merc show on the spec that\u2019s as informative as it is unsanctioned by the Guild. I\u2019m your host, Conva Maynard, and as always, I\u2019m darn proud to be officially unofficial so that we can provide you with unbiased insights, opinions and reviews.\n\nSpeaking of, Skiv has got a bit of deep dive lined up for later on in the program. He went full gun nerd on us and actually did statistical comparisons on most of the major manufacturers who make energy cells. This ain\u2019t your normal range analytics, either. In fact, you may think Skiv has gone off the deep end once you see the tactical trial that he went and set up using an Arclight II. I\u2019ve always favored Clarkson myself, so I\u2019ll be real interested in seeing if switching to the pricier Joule packs makes much of a difference. That\u2019s coming up later. First though, it\u2019s time to take a look at the Job Board.\n\nThese are current op vacancies that we source directly from various contractors we have connections with. We do our best not to feature anything that we don\u2019t feel is solid, but situations are always in flux, so make sure you vet the job for yourself before taking on any work. If you\u2019re interested, all the pertinent contacts and details can be found on our show page.\n\nThat said, first posting is a recovery raid out in Gurzil. Some proprietary tech was taken from an independent research vessel doing scans. They got hit by an unmarked Prowler, but luckily they had enough scanning equipment left on board to do all the tracking work themselves. They hunted the bastards down to a makeshift camp on some desolate rock. Now all that\u2019s left is to hit the culprits before they can unload the goods. From the funds the research outfit is offering, I\u2019d say it\u2019s a prime job for a three-person crew \u2014 one up, two down. Bright side is the researchers are being smart here and not looking for justice or anything. All they\u2019re after is their property returned, so sounds like a stealth run could work well.\n\nNext up, we have an offer from the Odyssa Trade Council, who are looking to add some additional protection along the shipping lanes from Borea to the Magnus-Terra jump. They\u2019ve had a bit of an uptick in business recently and surprise, surprise, some bunters have decided to try and take advantage of that. You\u2019ll be coordinating under their militia forces to patrol the area and keep haulers safe. I recommend this one for those of you who enjoy spending a lot of time stuck watching traffic flows.\n\nLast, we have an offer from Eckhart Security. They\u2019re looking to bring on a few extra hands to retrieve black boxes and clear out insurance claims near Crusader \u2014 specifically, someone who\u2019s comfortable with zero-g\u2019s and tight spaces to actually navigate the wrecks. Stuff like this is usually pretty tame work, but sometimes you come across the scavs still picking the ship clean and things tend to kick off pretty fast after that. So, it\u2019s like all merc jobs \u2014 safe until it\u2019s not.\n\nThere is one more unusual thing about that last job. The man who offered it is actually our first guest today.\n\nHe\u2019s an independent operator who has managed to take his skills and know-how and turn them into a bustling security outfit. I know a lot of you out there are interested in taking that next step and engaging larger contracts, so we asked Miles Eckhart of Eckhart Security to come on in and share his own experience transitioning from solo missions to managing a full team. Thanks for being here, Miles.\n\nMILES ECKHART: Yeah, well, it\u2019s not everyday someone asks to interview you.\n\nOkay, let\u2019s start easy, why don\u2019t you tell us how you wound up in this line of work.\n\nMILES ECKHART: My story\u2019s a lot like everyone else\u2019s. Got out of the Army and was looking for a quieter way to make a living. Always loved electronics so decided to try to do something with that, but after months of studying and interviewing, when I finally landed a job, it turns out I was bored to tears. Meanwhile, this friend of a friend had been inviting me to go work merc contracts with him, and since I was getting pretty jumpy in my office work, I finally cracked and said yes to an escort op. Figured why not. It worked out pretty well, so I stuck with it.\n\nSo, I\u2019m gonna ask the big one next, why did you never join the Guild?\n\nMILES ECKHART: The Guild works for a lot of people. Provides a safety net, you always know where to look to get your bread buttered. Worked with a lot of people over the years who went on to earn their cards.\n\nThat was a political answer if I ever heard one. Can see why you\u2019ve been in business so long. That\u2019s why other people joined the Guild, but what about you?\n\nMILES ECKHART: For me, I just didn\u2019t want to join another Army. For the first time in a long while I was living by my own rules, and I wanted to see if I could make that work. Good or bad, at least I knew the choices were mine.\n\nVery good, I\u2019d say. According to my notes here, Eckhart Security has over a dozen full-time staff and even more contract workers. How did you go from being a contractor yourself to running a team?\n\nMILES ECKHART: I was working insurance claims out on the fringe of Nyx. Sort of became my specialty. Once I began earning a bit of a name for myself, I started to have more offers than time. I was always taught never to turn down work and the last thing I needed was to feed my competition. I figured if I could find someone looking for work, they could piggyback off my good rep and we\u2019d all come out ahead.\n\nSo you weren\u2019t looking for a partner?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Nah. Like I said, I like being the one calling the shots. Maybe it was the Army discipline stamped into me, but with this kind of work, it just makes more sense that there\u2019s always a single voice at the end of the line saying yes or no. People might not wanna admit it, but I think there\u2019s a comfort in having someone else make that call. Bringing on a partner just muddles the message. Plus, your people are only as good as their last job. It\u2019s better to be able to adjust your team as you see fit and not have to run it by anyone else. Someone has a bad op, you let them go. That simple. This is dangerous work we do and second chances aren\u2019t really worth it. A lot of people like the idea of treating their teams like family, but as far as I\u2019m concerned that\u2019s just a good way to end up with a lot of dead family.\n\nI know for a fact we are going to get some comms about that piece of advice, but it\u2019s a great point. Sometimes being in charge means making hard decisions, and things can definitely get a whole lot messier when feelings are involved. Take it from someone who did a contract with his brother one time and swore to never do it again.\n\nAll right, time for us to take a break. When we come back we\u2019ll talk more with Miles Eckhart and learn how he assesses a potential new hire. You\u2019ve got some tips on that too, right?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Yeah, a few.\n\nAnd there is still that energy cell breakdown from Skiv to look forward to, so make sure you stick around for more OP.NET right after this.","de_DE":"< DIE \u00dcBERTRAGUNG BEGINNT >\nEin guter S\u00f6ldner ist immer zu allem bereit, und bereit zu sein bedeutet, die besten Informationen zu haben. Da kommen wir ins Spiel. Willkommen zur\u00fcck zu einer weiteren Runde von OP.NET, der einzigen S\u00f6ldnershow auf der Spezifikation, die ebenso informativ wie nicht von der Gilde genehmigt ist. Ich bin Ihr Gastgeber, Conva Maynard, und wie immer bin ich verdammt stolz darauf, offiziell inoffiziell zu sein, so dass wir Ihnen unvoreingenommene Einblicke, Meinungen und Bewertungen geben k\u00f6nnen.\n\nApropos, Skiv hat ein wenig Tieftauchen f\u00fcr sp\u00e4ter im Programm. Er ging auf uns los und machte tats\u00e4chlich statistische Vergleiche mit den meisten der gro\u00dfen Hersteller, die Energiezellen herstellen. Das ist auch nicht deine normale Bereichsanalyse. Tats\u00e4chlich k\u00f6nnen Sie denken, dass Skiv das kalte Ende gegangen ist, sobald Sie den taktischen Versuch sehen, den er ging und mit einem Arclight II aufbaute. Ich habe Clarkson selbst immer bevorzugt, also werde ich wirklich daran interessiert sein zu sehen, ob der Wechsel zu den teureren Joule-Paketen einen gro\u00dfen Unterschied macht. Das kommt sp\u00e4ter zur Sprache. Zun\u00e4chst ist es jedoch an der Zeit, einen Blick auf die Jobb\u00f6rse zu werfen.\n\nDies sind aktuelle Stellenangebote, die wir direkt von verschiedenen Anbietern beziehen, mit denen wir Verbindungen haben. Wir tun unser Bestes, um nichts zu zeigen, was wir nicht f\u00fcr solide halten, aber Situationen sind immer im Fluss, also stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie den Job selbst \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen, bevor Sie eine Arbeit \u00fcbernehmen. Bei Interesse finden Sie alle relevanten Kontakte und Details auf unserer Messeseite.\n\nDas hei\u00dft, die erste Ver\u00f6ffentlichung ist eine Rettungsaktion in Gurzil. Etwas propriet\u00e4re Technologie wurde von einem unabh\u00e4ngigen Forschungsschiff genommen, das Scans durchf\u00fchrte. Sie wurden von einem unmarkierten Prowler getroffen, aber zum Gl\u00fcck hatten sie noch genug Scan-Equipment an Bord, um alle Tracking-Arbeiten selbst durchzuf\u00fchren. Sie jagten die Bastarde bis zu einem provisorischen Lager auf einem verlassenen Felsen. Jetzt geht es nur noch darum, die T\u00e4ter zu treffen, bevor sie die Ware entladen k\u00f6nnen. Von den Mitteln, die die Forschungseinrichtung anbietet, w\u00fcrde ich sagen, dass es ein prim\u00e4rer Job f\u00fcr eine dreik\u00f6pfige Crew ist - eine oben, zwei unten. Die helle Seite ist, dass die Forscher hier klug sind und nicht nach Gerechtigkeit oder so suchen. Alles, worauf sie aus sind, ist, dass ihr Eigentum zur\u00fcckgegeben wird, also klingt es so, als k\u00f6nnte ein getarnter Lauf gut funktionieren.\n\nAls n\u00e4chstes haben wir ein Angebot des Odyssa Trade Council, der einen zus\u00e4tzlichen Schutz entlang der Schifffahrtswege von Borea bis zum Magnus-Terra-Sprung anstrebt. Sie haben in letzter Zeit einen kleinen Aufw\u00e4rtstrend im Gesch\u00e4ft erlebt und \u00fcberraschend, \u00fcberraschend, \u00fcberrascht, einige Buntspeaker haben sich entschieden, dies zu versuchen und zu nutzen. Sie werden unter ihren Miliztruppen koordinieren, um das Gebiet zu patrouillieren und die Schlepper sicher zu halten. Ich empfehle dies f\u00fcr diejenigen von euch, die es genie\u00dfen, viel Zeit damit zu verbringen, Verkehrsstr\u00f6me zu beobachten.\n\nSchlie\u00dflich haben wir ein Angebot von Eckhart Security. Sie wollen ein paar zus\u00e4tzliche H\u00e4nde mitbringen, um Black Boxes zu bergen und Versicherungsanspr\u00fcche in der N\u00e4he von Crusader auszur\u00e4umen - insbesondere jemanden, der sich mit Zero-g's und engen R\u00e4umen auskennt, um die Wracks tats\u00e4chlich zu navigieren. Sachen wie diese sind normalerweise ziemlich zahm, aber manchmal trifft man auf die Fetzen, die das Schiff immer noch sauber ausw\u00e4hlen, und die Dinge neigen dazu, danach ziemlich schnell loszulegen. Also, es ist wie bei allen S\u00f6ldnerjobs - sicher, bis es das nicht mehr ist.\n\nEs gibt noch eine ungew\u00f6hnlichere Sache an diesem letzten Job. Der Mann, der es angeboten hat, ist heute unser erster Gast.\n\nEr ist ein unabh\u00e4ngiger Betreiber, der es geschafft hat, seine F\u00e4higkeiten und sein Know-how in ein gesch\u00e4ftiges Sicherheitsunternehmen zu verwandeln. Ich kenne viele von euch da drau\u00dfen, die daran interessiert sind, den n\u00e4chsten Schritt zu tun und gr\u00f6\u00dfere Auftr\u00e4ge zu erhalten, also haben wir Miles Eckhart von Eckhart Security gebeten, einzusteigen und seine eigenen Erfahrungen zu teilen, die er beim \u00dcbergang von Solomissionen zu der Leitung eines ganzen Teams gemacht hat. Danke, dass du hier bist, Miles.\n\nMILES ECKHART: Ja, nun, es ist nicht allt\u00e4glich, dass jemand nach einem Interview fragt.\n\nOkay, fangen wir einfach an, warum erz\u00e4hlst du uns nicht, wie du zu dieser Art von Arbeit gekommen bist.\n\nMILES ECKHART: Meine Geschichte ist sehr \u00e4hnlich wie die der anderen. Kam aus der Armee und suchte nach einem ruhigeren Weg, um seinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. Ich liebte Elektronik immer, also entschied ich mich, etwas damit zu machen, aber nach Monaten des Studiums und des Interviews, als ich endlich einen Job bekam, stellte sich heraus, dass ich mich zu Tode gelangweilt hatte. In der Zwischenzeit hatte mich dieser Freund eines Freundes eingeladen, mit ihm S\u00f6ldnervertr\u00e4ge zu arbeiten, und da ich in meiner B\u00fcroarbeit ziemlich nerv\u00f6s wurde, krachte ich schlie\u00dflich zusammen und sagte Ja zu einer Escort Operation. Ich dachte mir, warum nicht. Es hat ziemlich gut geklappt, also habe ich es beibehalten.\n\nAlso, ich werde als n\u00e4chstes den gro\u00dfen fragen, warum du der Gilde nie beigetreten bist?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Die Gilde arbeitet f\u00fcr viele Menschen. Bietet ein Sicherheitsnetz, Sie wissen immer, wo Sie suchen m\u00fcssen, um Ihr Brot gebettet zu bekommen. Hat im Laufe der Jahre mit vielen Menschen zusammengearbeitet, die sich dann ihre Karten verdient haben.\n\nDas war eine politische Antwort, falls ich jemals eine geh\u00f6rt habe. Ich verstehe, warum du so lange im Gesch\u00e4ft warst. Deshalb sind andere Leute der Gilde beigetreten, aber was ist mit dir?\n\nMILES ECKHART: F\u00fcr mich wollte ich einfach nicht in eine andere Armee eintreten. Zum ersten Mal seit langem, als ich nach meinen eigenen Regeln lebte, und ich wollte sehen, ob ich das hinbekommen w\u00fcrde. Gut oder schlecht, zumindest wusste ich, dass ich die Wahl hatte.\n\nSehr gut, w\u00fcrde ich sagen. Meinen Aufzeichnungen zufolge hat Eckhart Security hier \u00fcber ein Dutzend Vollzeitkr\u00e4fte und noch mehr Leiharbeiter. Wie sind Sie vom Auftragnehmer zum Teamleiter geworden?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Ich habe Versicherungsanspr\u00fcche am Rande von Nyx bearbeitet. Irgendwie wurde es zu meiner Spezialit\u00e4t. Als ich anfing, mir einen kleinen Namen zu verdienen, begann ich, mehr Angebote als die Zeit zu haben. Mir wurde immer beigebracht, die Arbeit nie abzulehnen, und das Letzte, was ich brauchte, war, meine Konkurrenz zu f\u00fcttern. Ich dachte mir, wenn ich jemanden finden k\u00f6nnte, der nach Arbeit sucht, k\u00f6nnte er sich von meinem guten Ruf erholen und wir w\u00fcrden alle vorankommen.\n\nAlso hast du nicht nach einem Partner gesucht?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Nee. Wie gesagt, ich mag es, diejenige zu sein, die das Sagen hat. Vielleicht war es die Disziplin der Armee, die in mich eingepr\u00e4gt wurde, aber mit dieser Art von Arbeit macht es einfach mehr Sinn, dass es immer eine einzige Stimme am Ende der Zeile gibt, die ja oder nein sagt. Die Leute wollen es vielleicht nicht zugeben, aber ich denke, es ist ein Trost, dass jemand anderes diesen Anruf macht. Einen Partner anzuziehen, bringt die Botschaft durcheinander. Au\u00dferdem sind deine Leute nur so gut wie ihr letzter Job. Es ist besser, sein Team nach Belieben anpassen zu k\u00f6nnen und es nicht von jemand anderem f\u00fchren zu lassen. Wenn jemand eine schlechte Operation hat, l\u00e4sst du ihn gehen. So einfach ist das. Das ist eine gef\u00e4hrliche Arbeit, die wir leisten, und zweite Chancen sind es nicht wirklich wert. Viele Leute m\u00f6gen die Idee, ihre Teams wie eine Familie zu behandeln, aber f\u00fcr mich ist das nur ein guter Weg, um mit einer Menge toter Familienmitglieder zu enden.\n\nIch wei\u00df ganz sicher, dass wir einige Informationen \u00fcber diesen Ratschlag erhalten werden, aber es ist ein gro\u00dfartiger Punkt. Manchmal bedeutet die Verantwortung, harte Entscheidungen zu treffen, und die Dinge k\u00f6nnen definitiv viel chaotischer werden, wenn es um Gef\u00fchle geht. Nimm es von jemandem, der einmal einen Vertrag mit seinem Bruder abgeschlossen hat und schwor, es nie wieder zu tun.\n\nIn Ordnung, Zeit f\u00fcr uns, eine Pause einzulegen. Wenn wir wiederkommen, werden wir mehr mit Miles Eckhart sprechen und erfahren, wie er einen potenziellen neuen Mitarbeiter einsch\u00e4tzt. Du hast auch ein paar Tipps dazu, oder?\n\nMILES ECKHART: Ja, ein paar.\n\nUnd es gibt immer noch diesen Energiezellenabbau von Skiv, auf den man sich freuen kann, also stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie gleich danach f\u00fcr mehr OP.NET in der N\u00e4he bleiben.","zh_CN":"< TRANSMISSION BEGINS >\nA good merc is always ready for anything, and being ready means having the best intel.
