As the last preparation phase for reopening of Canaria commerce port and the new docking ring, a Barge-class heavy transport will be delivering the final batch of necessary materials and equipment for the docking ring infrastructure from Planet Pygar in Omicron Theta to Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-48.
Due to interference of unidentified vessels during the survey phase of the reconstruction efforts, Zoners have requested additional escort vessels to accompany OZC Tenerife on its route to ensure secure delivery of the required resources.
Time and Date:
Saturday, December 18th - 18:00 UTC starting at Planet Pygar orbit, Omicron Theta
Details:
For duration of the event, the system with OZC-Tenerife present will have its respawn timer disabled.
OZC-Tenerife and its escorts can be treated as combat targets by all IDs.
The Barge will not have any special shield or armor, the defending side can bring only one repair ship if required.
This is an open-ended event, and participants are free to use any character and any ID (within ZoI) and choose whether to attack or defend the Barge (within RP and Rule limits of their ID).
The event will be balanced with PVE spawns. Special NPCs are set up which have a chance of dropping special items as reward (Scidata, Codenames, Thrusters, etc). They will be spawned at different difficulty levels or with different IFFs depending on participating ships present.
Once the Barge reaches Gran Canaria, unloading its cargo will require help of freighters. /restart CanariaFreighter will be available during the event, providing a freighter docked on Gran Canaria for anyone who'd like to help speed up the final part of this event.
NOTES
This is a story event covering the efforts of Zoners to rebuild Gran Canaria Docking Ring and community participation will influence the in-canon conclusion of the Ring's construction arc.
General set up of this event is based on community input from Part I of this event [1][2]. Thanks for the suggestions.
