Applications for Future Economic Events

[Athenian]

Having established a foothold in Omicron Delta, the Guild Core begins exploiting the reserves of Iridium nearby. The mining of Iridium is to be carried out by cheap labour in the form of prisoners from the criminal gangs across Sirius.

1) The names of all bases where different prices are temporarily desired. Match commodity names to those bases. (Keep these as short as possible to create the event. Changing 10 commodities at 30 bases is a huge amount of work). Make sure to indicate whether prices should go up or down if that is not obvious (most likely they'll go up). List commodities and bases in order of importance from most important to least important.

Dabadoru Base, Omicron Delta - price increase for prisoners; mining machinery added as commodity at increased price. The bump in price for the latter should be enough to attract those interested in making a quick profit, as the commodity is freely available throughout many nearby systems. It is rarely shipped, so anyone carrying it will likely draw unwelcome attention to themselves from the unlawfuls on the route.

2) Factions that would be involved in promoting the event.

Bounty Hunters.

3) Factions that could be involved in hostility towards the event (they want to interfere with the event and interdict the trading/smuggling).

Every nasty in the Omicrons, Sigmas, Omegas and so on.

4) Links to any relevant forum stories, threads, or background. Provide post numbers if the link refers to a post instead of the entire thread.

Our PTS service existed previously in the S/D faction and we've run a few missions since as the BHG|PTS.

5) List the participants and promoters of the event : player factions, or individual players not related to involved factions

BHG (especially PTS) and BHG|Core

6) Provide a brief summary of how you intend to promote the event on the forums, and on the server. Include the server-side activities that will support the event. In other words, how will people find out about the event, and what will cause them to want to participate (apart from profits).

A announcement on the forums announcing demand for prisoners. We will set a quota for our own faction to provide, creating a new sub-faction if possible (Miner ID) and offer a bonus for people who meet other quotas.

7) Explain how the event will support current or planned roleplaying of the factions or individuals involved in the event. What mod, factional, or individual storylines are affected?

The re-fitting of Dabadoru will be complete by the next update. Having discovered deposits of Iridium in the asteroid field in which the base is located, the Guild creates a penal colony with prisoners from all over Sirius to mine the field. It could cause tension with the nearby Zoners, the increased human presence there should also draw the attention of Nomads anxious to halt further human encroachment. Most likely, the ranks of nearby unlawful factions will grow from any liberated prisoners. The current uodate with the increased prices worked quite well. There is a steady flow of trade ships from all over bringing in Mox, Light Arms, Synth Food, etc. BHG activity is consistent.
