It's always been a goal of the Gallic Office des Eaux et des Forêts 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.
All delivery of Primary Objective Commodity will be recorded for LATER bonus payment. This will work similar to Forum trade events in that way, without any need to report inRP on forum, unless you choose to do so. Sell point will show $1 event bonus only.
When Event Coordinator receives final list of participants, bonuses will be disbursed to appropriate ships. Larger values will have ships private messaged (/pm) ingame, to ensure ship can handle incoming credits or just reply with Bank ship account.
Any ships participating and wishing to communicate Bank Account data in advance can use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here> to advise regarding payment directions.
Event completion
This event will have a hard stop once limit is reached.
This event has a limit - upon reaching limit any further purchases will advise ship at station.
First ship that hits the limit for the event should communicate this to Event Coordinator (on this thread or other methods) so others can be informed
Here is what to look for:
Provide shipname so some credits for this alert can be provided.
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.
Simply grab 1 (one) unit of Primary Objective Commodity cargo at the buy point for selling at the destination. It will register your ship in the event and mark as complete when sold at destination.
This will record your participation in the route. Any more than 1 (one) unit per trip will just skew the results for your Escort ship.
You can then use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here> to advise Event Coordinator about to brief about ships involved (including cargo hold size) in Escort.
Pay will be determined by size of convoy and amount of product transported during Escort.
Of course you can accept direct pay as well from traders!
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!
AWES is proud to bring another event to the server will the help of our friends from administration, development, and many different factions.
We will continue to provide ongoing trade events as much as we can. The intention of these events is not just creating opportunities for making traders rich in a weekend, but to give a bit of predictability for sources of interaction and activity between traders and all the security escort, military, and even unlawful forces in areas of event. Hopefully in this way some satisfying RP can be had by all.
There are other non-trade activities in the works as well - they just take a bit more planning and development!
If you have ideas that you think would well implemented in the game MOSTLY BY PLAYERS for events, we are open to privately discussing and seeing how we can make this happen, provided it fits within our realm of activity/influence. You can also just use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here>
We want to be part of the solution! Help us build regular activity!
