Considering:
1. Traders use 1 ship to haul as to qualify for whatever award is at the end of the event
Where does it say you only need to use one ship ? Afaik it was tallied between multiple in the last event ?

Where's the proof of the traders being outnumbered? Yesterday I was in a convoy with 12+ people while there were no pirates in sight.

Maybe it's the traders that need to be inventive and group up?
If it's within the rules and reasonable RP I don't see why outside factions couldn't get involved. Yeah, DTR showing up with an Armada is cringe, but it's just DTR doing DTR things
