A lane hacker shoots down a DSE ID vessel
and gets 5 mill? Automatically or has to post proof?
Yep. If you have a qualifying ID and you shoot down a player with the correct ID in the target system, you'll be automatically paid the listed bounty.

The entire station has just over 1,000 people on it. Two Dromedarys and done wouldn't make for a very interesting event, would it?
Gran Canaria only had a 250.000 Zoners apparantly, yet we had a long ol migration event with 5k transports taking folk off world for weeks
RE: [Regional event] The Coming Storm, Alberta - Toaster - 05-12-2020
Seeing as the freeport's inhabitants' lives depend on the shipments of dark matter shielding, perhaps Zoners should be permitted to defend transports (Zoner or not) that are delivering shielding within Alberta?

Don't give people idea that they can shoot without demands.

Well the JH to Alberta is being camped at already
So that’s me out of the event
No point if they can just sit and wait for you
Especially 4 of them

It's 60 mill there and back on the alaska run
3 system jump
That gives you ample margin to hire an escort
I already did - a random dude made 11 mill for flying with me still got 55 mill profit.
It goes through NY where a lot of random ships fly
I'm off to buy a battle transport and keep hiring people to escort me, FUN!
4Xenos is a bit excessive, but Navy will follow when peak comes - they get bonus bounty remember
EDIT: Btw demands still should be reasonable right? So like $10mill per encounter should get you through? It's not the "combat target" thing from last event, but a RP-promoting one with extra incentive for people to shoot you
But they still should make reasonable demands I assume and let you go if you accept
Very smartly setup event if you ask me, maybe could hike up profits even more if lawful guys won't bite and go to the systems to protect traders and get bounties
Not sure why they wouldn't though

I thought you guys were removing the system but ... ok!! Aazalot was right ... the evacuation was done several time ago ... but ok we all know how this works.
but i have a question .... if Alberta is going to stay, and F14 also, will be anything interesting there after all this? I mean .. there will be something interesting that is worth the trip, since the the only good reason to go there is Leduc station, that is going to disappear?
RE: [Regional event] The Coming Storm, Alberta - Lemon - 05-12-2020
I say Gammu Ai should take over there! give gammu a presence
They can live on desolate bases
and the inactive gate could have mysteriously let them through
easy
RE: [Regional event] The Coming Storm, Alberta - Lemon - 05-12-2020
Oh I see
anyone can do the freeport run
but the better money alaska run needs to be done with bountied ships that can travel there
And anyone can pirate
but going as LH and X is more profitable

BUT as always players are ignored and instead Devs do What Devs do, Cheers.
Player factions, even if official, do not dictate with total authority the assets of an npc faction. Especially Zoners since there have been more factions than anyone cares to admit.
Sure there are administrators over each Freeport but they are more like head chieftains rather than kings.
Also is this how you show gratitude? With snarky comments?
