[Trade Event] Luxury Liner Logistics COMPLETED

Luxury Liner Logistics

A Community Event

---

Description

Renzu shipyard has been looking to expand to new markets in order to ensure its profits are healthy enough to be lauded and applauded at shareholder meetings.

With this goal in mind, the marketing team is counting on a big win, hoping the elite clientele in Gallia will provide the new boost required for the books.

In advance of any firm agreements, but armed with high hopes, Renzu has ordered components for the Shukensha Luxury Liner be delivered to Interspace Commerce facilities at Versailles Station,in Ile-de-France, hoping local manufacturing will materialize once pre-sales start flowing in.

This outpouring of components has had a secondary effect of causing a demand at Renzu Shipyard for the Molybdenum required for the manufacturing of many of the items involved in creation of these high quality vessels. Seeing an opportunity to garner goodwill from the government of its prospective clients, Renzu approached Guise Mining Facility in Picardy to supply this resource material directly to their Shikoku installation.

Details

Event start

• This event will begin after the morning server restart on Saturday, Oct 8th.

Primary Objective:

• Pickup Molybdenum from Guise Mining Facility, Picardy and deliver to Renzu Shipyard, Shikoku.

Secondary Objective:

• Pickup Shukensha Components from Renzu Shipyard, Shikoku and deliver them to Versailles Station, Ile-de-France.

Alternative Objectives:

• Provide Corporate or Private Security Escort for any traders as they run the routes.

For the primary objective deliveries, this is a tracked event. There is no forum requirement and no screenshots of delivery will be needed.

• All delivery of Molybdenum to Renzu Shipyard will be recorded for LATER bonus payment. This will work similar to Forum trade events in that way, without any need to report inRP on forum, unless you choose to do so. Sell point will show $1 event bonus only.
  
• When Event Coordinator receives final list of participants, bonuses will be disbursed to appropriate ships. Larger values will have ships private messaged (/pm) ingame, to ensure ship can handle incoming credits or just reply with Bank ship account.
  
• Any ships participating and wishing to communicate Bank Account data in advance can use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here> to advise regarding payment directions.

Event completion

• This event will have a hard stop once limit is reached.

Enterprising unlawfuls might find it more beneficial to make reasonable cargo demands for Molybdenum in order to prolong the deliveries (and their supply of 'customers'). Unfortunately, just regular commodity sell points for this event.

Incentives

Primary Objective - 6000 bonus per unit over dock prices, paid directly to the delivery ship AFTER the event conclusion.

• This event has a limit - upon reaching limit any further purchases will advise ship at station.
  
• First ship that hits the limit for the event should communicate this to Event Coordinator (on this thread or other methods) so others can be informed
• Provide shipname so some credits for this alert can be provided.

Secondary Objective - bonuses already built into this recently added event type item. No further credits on delivery for this event, as this is considered the high value return item.

Alternative Objectives:
Providing Corporate or Private Security Escort can be compensated without the need for Forum reports:

• Simply grab 1 (one) unit of Molybdenum cargo at the buy point for selling at the destination.
  
• This will record your participation in the route. Any more than 1 (one) unit per trip will just skew the results for your Escort ship.
  
• You can then use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here> to advise Event Coordinator about to brief about ships involved (including cargo hold size) in Escort.
  
• Pay will be determined by size of convoy and amount of product transported during Escort.
  
• Of course you can accept direct pay as well from traders!

Also: a reminder to all lawful traders participating that these efforts are completely covered by the recently revealed AWES Insurance & Claims Program. After 2 successful reporting communications, piracy and loss coverage will be in force, should the worst happen. Another option to consider if unpleasant unprofitable encounters arise!

Additional rules and disclaimer

Note: *Some of these processes are 'first attempt' - please have patience if we need to iron out the kinks!*

Event Coordinator Info

AWES is proud to bring another event to the server will the help of our friends from administration, development, and many different factions.

We will continue to provide ongoing trade events as much as we can. The intention of these events is not just creating opportunities for making traders rich in a weekend, but to give a bit of predictability for sources of interaction and activity between traders and all the security escort, military, and even unlawful forces in areas of event. Hopefully in this way some satisfying RP can be had by all.

There are other non-trade activities in the works as well - they just take a bit more planning and development!

If you have ideas that you think would well implemented in the game MOSTLY BY PLAYERS for events, we are open to privately discussing and seeing how we can make this happen, provided it fits within our realm of activity/influence. You can also just use: /PM AWES-Msg <text here>
