View source for Service Changes Effective March 4, 2013

== What Is Changing ==

The rates for Push Industries jump freight service and MicroPush will increase on March 4, 2013 at 11:00 EVE time (downtime). Jump freight service will increase its base price for both low sec and null sec. '''The rates for high sec service will NOT change.''' However, the volume limit for high sec (large) service will decrease:
*The maximum volume for high sec (large) service will descrease to 860,000 m3.
*NEW SERVICE TIER: PushXL. 860,000 to 980,000 m3 for 750,000 ISK per warp.
*The base price for low sec (small) packages between 9,000 m3 - 25,000 m3 (that is anything requiring a deep space transport) will increase to 5 million ISK per low sec warp (from the current 2.5 million ISK per low sec warp). 
*The base price for low sec will increase to 60 million ISK (from the current 50 million ISK).
*The base price for null sec will increase to 120 million ISK (from the current 100 million ISK).
*The rate for MicroPush will increase to 250,000 ISK per warp (from the current 150,000 ISK per warp).
*The MicroPush volume limit will decreased to 17,000 m3 (from the current 20,000 m3).
'''Collateral modifiers will NOT change. Rush prices will also NOT change.'''

== Why Are We Doing This? ==

'''The maximum volume for high sec (large) service will descrease to 860,000 m3.'''
We have determined that some of our customers are being ignored or put on delay because not everybody has a freighter that is capable of moving 900,000 m3. Despite the fact we have plenty of people who can move that they may not always be around to help deliver packages, or may be on another set of jobs. So to ease customer anxiety and also the burden of skill training on our pilots we have reduced the volume cap to 860,000 m3.

'''The base price for low sec (small) packages between 9,000 m3 - 25,000 m3 (that is anything requiring a deep space transport) will increase to 5 million ISK per low sec warp (from the current 2.5 million ISK per low sec warp).'''
We recognize that it takes a high degree of personal skill and game skills to make deliveries in a DST consistently and involves significantly more risk than a blockade runner. We intend to continue this as a "premium" service. Anything below or up to 9,000 m3 is considered doable with a BR and will be charged at the current 2.5 million ISK per low sec warp rate.

'''The base price for low sec will increase to 60 million ISK (from the current 50 million ISK).'''
'''The base price for null sec will increase to 120 million ISK (from the current 100 million ISK).'''
Cynosural Field Generators are on a sharp increase in price and cyno ships are often blown up in order to expedite jump freight delivery. This price increase is to keep our jump freighter pilots happy and continuing to move packages for a reasonable amount of ISK. Further, inflation in New Eden's economy has risen and Push has not matched it (or risen jump freight prices since introduction of the service) and we need to keep up with the status quo to keep our pilots satiated.

'''MicroPush's rate will increase to 200,000 ISK per warp (from the current 150,000 ISK per warp).'''
MicroPush was originally designed to get new players interested in hauling into a freighter as soon as possible. A small increase in rates is to assist them in doing so, and also to keep our rates competitive with current public courier contracts and other avenues of approach. We believe this is still the finest low-volume low-value courier service in New Eden, and wish to continue serving our customers.


== What About Contracts Issued Before The Change? ==

'''Any contracts issued to Push Industries or MicroPush before 11:00 EVE time  on March 4, 2013 will be completed under the old rates.''' <span style="color: red;">'''However, any contracts made before  11:00 EVE time on March 4, 2013 that expire due to a heavy  queue or are rejected for being erroneous and subsequently re-made after 11:00 EVE time on March 4, 2013  will be subject to the new rates and volume limits.'''</span>
