OVERVIEW

---

Beaumont Base has found that the scrap coming out of the Dallas Debris Field in Texas is very ample, thy have had their miners gather a lot of scrap from there to the point they have found themselves in an abundance of scrap. This is more than they can hold and are now overstocked. To combat the over stock of scrap they have manufactured it into Steel Coiled Sheets and have bulk packed them to 100 units per order. This is only viable to the corporations for their sheer size in numerous transport ships to ship them off.

Planet Sprague has heard of this, they are in dire need for this product that the Beaumont has manufactured and are paying top credit for this product. They have put the word out they are willing to make a deal to anyone that can bring them the Steel Coiled Sheets.
Though this message they have sent out has caught the attention of the local pirates along this route, they have need of this as well. Both Ithaca Base and Torshavn Space Port have put the word out they will pay a good fair price for any of this product liberated and taken to them.

There has now been reports of pirates attacking the convoy’s and loading up their own transports back to the Ithaca and Torshavn. It is recommended to bring your own protection while moving this cargo as it is very sought after by the pirates.

The Junkers have kindly hinted that there is some ore nearby Omega-3 that can be brought back to make some credits so you do not fly empty on the trip back. .

Final days of the sale are coming, all stock is nearly gone. Plant Sprague is still in need of the Steel Coiled Sheets, they have updated their price and will be giving a person bonus to all that deliver the cargo.

Sounds exciting. The prices, though... what's the commodity to cargo space rate?

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.

1 unit takes 100 cargo space as per post.

Edit: we will see how it turns out, go from there and adapt it as needed.

Also just a wall art I quickly chucked together, don't mind that haha

JDing Bustards incoming in 3...2...1.


It happened before. It will happen again. Unless the admins finally stop doing the same kind of mistakes for every trade event.

[HanCloudstone]

These are some thicc commodities. Maybe I will take part, too.
How many people set up jumptrading Bustards, though?

Not sure how JDing bustards are a problem here, idk what JD cargo limit is exactly, but I'm assuming it's around 800, so let's go with that number.
Profit per unit is 770640-181200 = 599440
A single ship can hold 8 of those since it takes up 100 cargo each.
That gives us a whooping 4.8mln profit per jump per ship.

I'm not seeing the problem here honestly, unless I'm missing something big.

[SlappyTheRoach]

Have added a rule change for participants in this event that Jump Drives are not allowed.

That will eliminate any problems.

So all go out there and have fun. Hopefully all goes well and more and better ones to come.

Yeah, not worth it to jumptrade. You're looking at about 7 mil profit after the price of jump batteries IF you have a full 1800 space on a bustard, which most people don't due to weapons and such.
