So, the involved faction leaders know the drill, we've already talked about it.
This event is open to the Ageira|, DSE), [*USI*]; ]bd[, and [GC] factions. If we are short on ships, I will open it to independents of the aforementioned alignments.
Essentially, we're going to have a massive trade convoy taking Gate/Lane Parts to Chugoku GCS in Hokkaido.
We thought it would be a good idea since no one goes there anyway due to higher danger and less profit than other Construction Sites. Also, in 4.86, as well as it being completed, another pair of Gates is completed in the adjacent system. Therefore, Kusari and Samura have stepped up the construction pace despite the risks and need a whole lot more building material.
This mission is classified as medium to high risk. Presence of Kusari pirates is strongly predicted in the latter stages of the transportation run. Blood Dragons and their Golden Chrysanthemum allies are known to often attack convoys to prevent the progress of the Chugoku Gate construction.
Transport ships get to keep any profit they make from the cargo. Surviving traders get a bonus. Destroyed transports will get an insurance payout (so it's not a complete loss).
Escorts get paid a set rate, with a deduction due to the destruction of traders. A small amount is payed to all ships per destruction of hostile vessel. A larger sum is paid to the specific escort which terminates a hostile. Destroyed escorts get a small insurance payout.
> I'm still working out the details of this bit.
Proposed time:
1200 GMT (+ 0), Saturday 2nd April.

This is Fabio Krull reporting in.
Of course the Rubihorn is scheduled for that run. Would be nice to know who will do the escorting so we can have a little simulation at the headquarters on how to take on a gunboat together. Just in case, you know....
Also, soon expect more USI pilots to join the convoy. We were going to simply reply in one unified post but we figured it best that you know USI is indeed evaluating recruits to join in this convoy. Expect our best.
