Sorry bout that.
I am not using the main server as trial by error- it was again something that worked on a private server, but not on the main. The difference is that the main is actually connected to the forum with that plugin, so it seems to interact with the event system differently from a private server.
Still, the bug was noted. Apologies for the restart - now go smuggle some stuff.

Anyone can smuggle and anyone can intercept. But make note that if you think you will be making mad dosh by simply capturing haulers - you will not get the full price for the cargo.
I think this isn't very attractive for smugglers with NY the system of lolwuts, Z21 a bottleneck from it's entry over to the gate in Alaska and there again a bottleneck at the gate exit. One could argument to take the route over California->Texas->Minnesota->New Hampshire->Alaska, but that's not worth the time/money, especially with people watching who the eff enters Hampshire these days. They could easily fly up to the jump hole to Hampshire. 5.000 Credits per unit as base price are a bit too high for it, I guess. You don't even have a ressource for the way back.
The only activity this will create is people with transport cloaks like Sasapinjic during low-pop-time. I guess most people will just keep rolling their other contraband runs, as they aren't that dangerous (no bottlenecks) and are more profitable with cardamine/slaves with a price of 500~ credits per unit.
Sorry for sounding potentially negative about it, but I'm sure a lot of people have these thoughts.
EDIT:
Also, is it possible to deactivate the scoreboard for the duration of the event and show the results AFTER the event? It's way to easy to get the names of the smugglers.
EDIT2: The LN-guard NPCs make entering Z21 VERY troublesome without cloak.

So does one need to be Official LN/CR/etc? And does that mean Order| can't help interdict in Coronado?
Yeah , i was able to pass heavy guard at mine field thanks to cloak 2 times , third time they FINALLY bring cloak disruptor ship , but i would have make that third time to if i haven't make mistake : It was only type 1 cloak , i closed to 5000 and stand until he fired a cloak , then i was about to pass , but i had blow things up by wanting to send local system message and i charged in to mines , lost guns , bits , and time until i released my self and by that time cloak disruptor was ready again lol .
Sorry, I took the opportunity to make some cash and test some things on my own behalf.
Shared my ideas with Sindroms already.
This needs to be tuned for sure and is also a good idea in my eyes.
I am wondering if I should restrict cargo-based events for server peak times due to it simply being way too easy to trade, given the large profits involved.
