New York -> New Tokyo is 878 credits/s. It's good.
Okinawa -> Colorado is 645 credits/s. This one needs a buff imo as Helium-3 is one trade lane away and pays better, while sharing most of the route back to Liberty.
In terms of activity it does not matter, people will go between Kusari and Liberty which enables pirates and lawfuls to log in. However unless something has changed the point of events like these is to encourage everyone to use the event commodities rather than regular ore, which at the end of the day is still the driving factor for most. In another place where there is no ore route nearby these prices would be fine, but because of H3 in Sigma-59 I'd buff the price of Premium Repair Materials to be more protifable than H3 to Pittsburgh.
Yeah the prices can be bumped for these @SlappyTheRoach - they can be ore levels without mining costs because of the added danger/everyone knowing where you haul.
Would it be possible to double, or dare I say, even triple the payout on the last 2 days? The event's not really that popular and I think that's largely in part due to the still relatively subpar profit for the distance.
Agreed, when you have a clear +reasonably easily intercepted route in the active unlawful area the profit can't just be "standard" event design-wise. Funny thing is Liberty Unlawfuls have Shikoku Zoi, so there was not much point protecting the route - they just dodged us lawfuls and went there. Profit needs to be bigger in the finish please

Sorry for the final day delay in this event. I had an emergency that took me to the other side of my country.
Seeing as Pueblo is near completed their repairs, they only need a few more so are paying top credit for the supplies. On the other hand Medical supplies are starting to run low, so they are costing more to import in. Thus making them more valuable to the other end.
This will be in affect as of the server restart and will finish the following restart on Tuesday 15th Aug 0900 UTC.
