Just like trade caravan guard jobs, how about trade ship guard jobs in port towns where there is the possibilty of being boarded by bandits/pirates and having to fight them off. Seems like a most appropriate place to use nets. This would have to be a very high risk/reward job because there realistically wouldn’t be any way to retreat the battlemap.
