Cold Gold
A Community Event


Description

It's always been a goal of the Gallic Office des Eaux et des ForĂȘts to restart the terraforming on Planet Metz halted by Kusari hostilities and space construct destruction, but progress is slow given destroyed vital infrastructure makes all serious effort at the task next to impossible. Looking to raise more capital to help with investment in these Lorraine system rebuilding efforts, Gallic Metal Service has boosted production of Cryocubes and is aggressively marketing these refrigeration options throughout Sirius.

Caernarfon Station has been undergoing renovations and reassessing capabilities since its move closer to Newbury in the Poole system. One of these capabilities was the long term resilience of its onboard perishable supplies, and it was decided to overhaul the systems with new components in the form of Cryocubes from Planet Metz, accepting the technology was the best for the requirements, despite the source.

Current Graves Station commandant, Selena Graves, has made it a personal mission to right the wrongs of the past on the station, ensuring strong Gold demand from several markets across Sirius to ensure competitive market wages for its miners can be achieved without negative corporate effects. One such growing market, where golden luxuries are being created to cater to the wealthy Kusari resort visitors, is Planet Tomioka. In partnership with Gateway Shipping, this route has seen increased usage so goldsmiths at the Kusari retreat have plenty of supply for their craft.

Details

Event start
  • This event will begin after the morning server restart on Oct 29.

Primary Objective:
  • Pickup Cryocubes from Planet Metz, Lorraine and deliver to Caernarfon Station, Poole.

Secondary Objective:
  • Pickup Gold from Graves Station, Dublin, IDEALLY AS GATEWAY SHIPPING, and deliver them to Planet Tomioka, Tottori.

Tertiary Objective:
  • Pickup Drill Bits from Caernarfon Station, Poole and deliver them to Graves Station, Dublin.

Alternative Objectives:
  • Provide Corporate or Private Security Escort for any traders as they run the routes.

For the primary objective deliveries, this is a tracked event. There is no forum requirement and no screenshots of delivery will be needed. Payments will be sent directly to your ship when Event Coordinator receives event data.
UNFORTUNATELY, BARGES WILL NOT BE ELLIGLE FOR THE COMMUNITY EVENT AS THEIR USE DRASTICALLY DECREASES EVENT LENGTH AND RP INTERACTION POTENTIAL.

Event completion
  • This event will have a hard stop once limit is reached.

Incentives

Primary Objective - 4250 bonus per unit over dock prices, paid directly to the delivery ship DURING the event and AFTER the event conclusion.

Secondary Objective - The Gold run from Graves to Planet Tomioka is an existing Shipping Bonus run for GATEWAY SHIPPING. Ships using this ID/IFF will profit the most from this segment of the route.

Tertiary Objective - Standard Commodity prices without bonus. Their trade in combination with Primary and Secondary Objective nets decent returns on each loop of the route.

Alternative Objectives:
Providing Corporate or Private Security Escort can be compensated without the need for Forum reports.
A reminder to all lawful traders participating that these efforts are completely covered by the recently revealed AWES Insurance & Claims Program. After 2 successful reporting communications, piracy and loss coverage will be in force, should the worst happen. Another option to consider if unpleasant unprofitable encounters arise!
