People on Skype are confused because of this quote, as USI planned this event with the intend of it lasting a while, but other think you said with this it would be only this weekend. Can you clarify?
RE: Red Deer Station: Salvage Operation 1 - sindroms - 02-12-2017
The event will last until all of the cargo is delivered.
RE: Red Deer Station: Salvage Operation 1 - Sombs - 02-12-2017
Thanks for clarification!

That 5000 is only 1 way and lot of open space flyn with cruise. Why do that if you can fly by lane and make more with less time and risk ?
Also because of the systems changes most cant find/dont know where the new jump hole to Puerto is.
RE: Red Deer Station: Salvage Operation 1 - Sombs - 02-12-2017
The illegal route is literally 2x16 minutes, most of it covered by lanes. And you don't need a miner/pob access

You don't get anything to bring back to Alberta. You get Manifolds, which sell for 2.3/u. The cargo is bought for 2.5/u. It isn't very appealing when I can make more doing the same run I've done for seven years to Gamma and back per hour.
RE: Red Deer Station: Salvage Operation 1 - Sombs - 02-12-2017
Yeah, there are better routes to smuggle and ore trade routes. The manifolds aren't that bad though. It's a better deal than the legal route.

That's what's disappointing. A lot of people expect trade events to be more profitable than their regular runs, as that's what makes them appealing and what makes people want to do them, but why bother when profit can be made elsewhere? The return trip to Alberta has no profit. It barely covers buying the next load. It's a unique one-time thing anyway.
I like the idea of the event and wanting to balance it around regular trading, but if it's a one-time thing it shouldn't be like that. I'd adjust the sale price of both to be more rewarding for participants. (i.e 9,000/u illegal route)
I also have yet to see USI actually doing it tbh, but that might just be a timezone thing.

USI was active already. Just not as active as the people that actually want the NEMP Bombs Tier 1 rewards
