[Official Event] Sigma Showdown

[Its Raisu]

I am of the opinion that being able to trade on any ID is completely breaking the event, as there is massive gain in being able to deliver to base, but no penalty when destroyed.

Can it be restricted to the IDs involved in the event? I don't know if this is possible.

But then there would be a lot less trade ships in general. If you stop a shipment, they suffer the penalty of losing like 10 mil, can't resume immediately, and it sets back that side back for a bit.

Perhaps it could be linked to attacking ID? If you shoot a ship down using one of the event ID's it could pay a bounty...?

I have a Pull Request that should resolve this by allowing CombatEvents to use TradeEvent IDs as a valid Target for the CombatEvent itself. This would make it so that ships doing the trade portion of an enemy side rewards CombatEvent point / payout for the appropriate IDs.

Examples

• Corsair / Outcast killing a DSE ship doing the Cryer TradeEvent
  
• Corsair / Cryer killing a Zoner doing the Outcast TradeEvent
  
• Outcast / Cryer killing a Samura doing the Corsair TradeEvent
  

Would all reward the player who got the kill if the CombatEvent is set up to do so after the code is implemented.

It breaks it more that the event is biased to lawful side. Its essentially 2 vs 1 vs 1
I dont see why other factions cant join in on the trade part of the event

Others can join in on the trade part of the event, and have. I've personally seen Zoner and Samura doing the Corsair / Outcast side of the event.

I agree with Megaera, it is biased with 2v1v1, the Hogosha and Golden Crysanthemums should be allowed to balance it up.
I also think those trading as Corsair, Cryer, GMG, Outcast IDs should gain more of a bonus, than the normal traders, to promote activity on those factions.
The prices still seem very low for a risk of losing 15million credits, which i think is putting off a few players.

There is a bonus for the main IDs that are involved in the event via the return commodities that were added.

Yes, because parking a

I've seen a Ranseur cloak and F1 right on top of Atka....
