Rule Changes ● The Order and Gammu AI IDs(including official variants) may demand Iridium Ore within the Omicrons and attack ships that refuse to comply.
Background With preparations for massive amounts of Iridium, the Core and APM kicked off something like an internal Iridium Rush, sending many bold pilots into the deep Omicrons. Iridium prices on Alabama kept rising and rising until they peaked recently. Still that seems to be more of a tactical decision rather than a lack of funds as Core's own fleets are being deployed to secure the increased traffic on the route.
The result of that seems to be the found wreckage of an Iridum transport. Empty to the last speck of Iridium by, what the blackbox log revealed, AI units from Kappa.
But that is not the Core's only enemy who is trying to disrupt the Iridum rush, with the Order preparing to send out ships from their space up north.
Description Official Event, sponsored by the Core
The event will start on at 12:00UTC on the 07th of November. Alabama Shipyard has received an Iridium Ore buypoint that is buffed. AI and Order received secondary buffed points to encourage piracy.
As usual, we invite the official factions on either side to organize the participants via Skype and Discord as well as promote overall activity and presence during the event.
The event will end on the 14th November or earlier should this not be balanceable.
