The Freeport Santa Run : Get them X-mas commodities to Manhattan

[ArmsAndLegs Guy]

Also, I need a bit of rule explaining.

Can an escort for example transfer you some items but not cash?
Any limits that may be there on the ships within the price range?

You shall obey server rules.
You shall obey event rules.
You shall have a good time.
You shall not get 5 friends to pick up the x-mas commodities and meet you in New York to hand them over to you. (Yes we can also check that).
You shall not try to abuse the x-mas spirit in which the event takes place.

What you do with the 900K after the start of the event is completely up to you:
Stay in the Starflea and hire an escort, then run the risk of not being able to reenter New York if you get killed there.
Buy a freighter, and use stealth routes to get to the freeports even though it takes longer.
Bribe pirates off, when they stop you.
Get the system Lawfulls to help you.
All the above.

That should cover it all.

Where do I get a Independant Trader ID?

And are we allowed the default Starflier equip (The basic shield it has, etc.)?

Independent trader ID and 900K cr will be supplied to you at the event start.
Just sign up here (you did that), and be at Manhattan at the designated time, in the Starflea without any new equipment.
What happens after the start of the event, what you buy with the supplied money, how you get to the freeports and so on, is completly up to you. If you want to fly another ship, upgrade the starflea, hire escorts etc.

The basic idea behind this event, is to interact with people, while having a goal to fullfill. Its your choice how you fullfill the goals of the event. Just stay within the Server Rules, and within the Event rules as listed in this thread.

Erm...is the camera ship legal for this?

No, just like it is not legal for anything else in-rp. Per definition the Camera ship exists OUT OF ROLE PLAY. It even says so on the description :
"This is a special utility craft provided for utilization in capturing images. It exists outside of the RP environment. Utilizing it for any purpose other than cinematography, or via specific permission granted, can result in repercussions. "

But you either follow our rules here and work with us - or STFU and GTFO.

As long as they are complying with standard server rules. Dockcamping is covered within server rules.

Another question here, too; Is it allowable to change the Trader ID for another?
