I need to figure out the transportation costs for a mercenary unit to get from Outreach to where they're going for a mission. Any of you got a way to calculate the costs of transporting the mercs?

One of the old Mercenary's Handbooks had a detailed section on transportation costs. I don't remember which edition, anymore, sorry.

If I recall correctly - and as far as I know - the old:
"Mercenary's Handbook 3055"
used to contain a section about transport with detailed guidelines for mercenary related transportation costs, like tables etc., probably out of print (OOP) for a long time now, but it might be still available either as a used book - and or as a PDF-book / e-book?
For example renting a Leopard class dropship for a short trip would cost your mercenary unit approx. 60,000 ComStar Bills per jump, while a short trip with a Union class dropship would cost you approx. 150,000 ComStar Bills per jump.
By the way, if you want to determine the number of jumps required for a specific journey you might want to take a closer look at the following sarna wiki link:

Good luck, have fun travelling with your merc unit ...
Have a nice day / night.

Any of you know the Jumpship costs of transport? FM Mercs Revised has a table with costs for various droppers. But nothing on Jumpers.

They usually charge 50,000CB per DropShip per jump. I think that was the old standard.
