What I had in mind about this event is that I set a few guidelines and the mission goals with pricing and stuff. And general organizing the paperwork here. I by no means want to or are even capable of micro-managing the whole event. Mainly I'm letting HGL take care of the details how they gonna fly stuff to Bretonia, they can and will need someone (DarkSaber seems to be in pole position here for the job) to get them the Optronics. HGL can decide by themselves about escorts and such. I really don't care how the HGL is going to handle this. But I WILL invite all the opposing factions to the party. To do that I'll price the stuff so that HGL sort of "needs" to fly (or hire someone to fly there if there's an RP problem for them to do that) to most of the systems thus giving pirates and terrorists chances to do nasty stuff.
I'm also thnking of cargo deliveries being made to as many systems in Bretonia as possible. This gives Mollys, Gaians and BPA/QCxx (most of the stuff is escortable anyway) something to think about.
Is this ok for everybody?
Since HGL is going up in numbers I suggest we shorten time available to make the deliveries. Maybe 4 days is enough? Like Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (the mad rush). That way the quantities and the final fee can be kept in some check. One day event IMO excludes too many possible players around the globe.
I still need help someone to receive the stuff to pay off this event. Or I need a loan in a range of 50mio.
I won't worry about too small details or nothing gets done ever about this. Any story can be RPed and made to fit. What I'm worrying about is that still some or most of the cargo runs will be un-eventful, but even the knowledge that there might be someones to specifically get me is a pulse quickener.
Remember this is only beta version of the trading event. We all can learn and improve on this in the future.
