I set the limit to a billion units because there is currently no way to invoke a trade bonus that is tracked and is not a countdown.

Why? Its not like we are anywhere near the finish: 0.01% - 86099/999999999

I don't thing, realistically, that the uppermost figure is supposed to be reached (or anywhere near it).

Just think of how much money 1 billion units at 12,000 credit, profit/per unit, would inject in to the Game. That doesn't take in to account that there are 4 Routes.

Well, in that case, setting the uppermost figure to something reasonably reachable would be much better imho. As would be clearly stating when the event starts and when it ends. If the rewards are going to change (I think they should stay same during the whole event, so it is fair to all participants.) then state at which points (time or score). And if this was announced some time before the event starts, it would allow players to prepare for said event, in terms of ships, intel and roleplay.

That way not only players could predict and plan their actions and roleplay, but you as admins would know in advance, how much this will affect the economy. Definitely better then current: "lets give them event with high profit" -> some time later -> "hey, they are participating and actually making tons of cash, thats not good, lets stop that suddenly"

Yes, if all 4 routes were completed as they are set now, it would inject a lot of money in to the game, so what?. One player needs X bilions to try at least half the stuff in this mod. It does not matter much anyway, because the score does not change, if you use anything else than specific military ID on a specific route. So one can make almost infinite ammount of credits with non-military vessel.

Edit: (I noticed your post after posting mine, I wish there was a function that would allert me, that the thread im replying to has another post.)

What is a problem with countdown? Or I do not understand it at all, and you are refering to something else than score countdown?

If you want to look back, you were warned a few days ago, that this would be happening.

Quote:We are not completely sure if it will get pushed out so fast, but I have no set date to end this event. I might need to cut down CPS for the trade runs themselves monday, but it will remain there for a while perhaps. Hopefully police IDs are taking advantage of this.

I admit, that I missed this one, I mean it was on 7th page of the thread. Good to know. It would be much appretiated if stuff like that was put in the OP though.

Please stop worrying about irrelevant issues such as math. Go do the event or do not do the event.

No offense, but where did "math" come from? We are clearly speaking different languages here. I rest my case, forget it.

I would like to request that the CPS nerf be delayed until, say, Wednesday to address the loss of time over the weekend.

This would give people that work during the week time to take advantage of it while not putting undue stress on their other obligations.

This, however - does not seem to be the case as far as I can see.

In any case, I will be reducing the CPS of the route once the weekend is over.

Right in front of me some guy was intercepted by RH police with cargo full of contraband containers, in front of New Berlin planet. There was great RP, even some sad "sick wife" story. Even I, who had nothing to do with that, RPed "some guy from the crowd" and interacted with them. Unfortunately for the smuggler, police had to destroy him, but that was a great and real RP happening.

Congrats for the event, it is indeed interesting, fun and useful to everyone. Bigger profit compensates for extra risk. Ore trading - only care about pirates. Containers: Pirates AND police are after you, all makes sense. Especially with the 4.89 money sinks coming.

Also, people, don't forget that server not only have you, old ones, but also many newcomers who do NOT have billions and do not even have a single capital ship.

Like me? Because I don't have none.
