Every week I will start with announcement of time and trade routes for that week event.During period of event pl. can join in and exit from event.Basically it is an open trade convay made from traders on start.During time and needs escort will be organized.Basic rules:
1.Number of attackers depend from numbers of traders and escort so Rule is 1 attacker on 2 traders(or 1 if that is case) ships so that means on 1 escort fighter comes 2 attackers(1+attackers on each escort fighter).
2.ONLY traders can use bats and bots ( all others can repair when thy dock)
3.Escort fighters is always and only dock in to BS (westernhand) their don't use base or planets.
4.Attackers can't dock on the same place where are traders dock(if they are docked there they have right to fight until first trader dock on that station ,than they must leave that base with out fight until they change docking place).

I have come out with this rules to make equal for all sides ,and on that way make fun for everybody.Also to enforce strategy in this game which can bring it on another level.

As I said pl. can join in any time and they can change the sides from trader to escort or attackers(rule 1. apply) during event.Event won't be clan related it is free for all.

Please ,lets first give a test run ,than you fill free to post your comments and suggestion on this event.For now you can apply for event and pick the side( that doesn't mean you gonna be on that side cos rule 1. apply) and please use your common seans.It will be easier for all of us.

Thank you all

Strength and honor

Hehehe, you know I'll be there for sure as a trader.  Wink

And I'll add something,

There should be two kinds of rewards for escorts:

Option1= Escorts and traders share profits.
Simple as that. Escorts must fly with traders during the entire lap and they'll divide profits with traders once the entire trade run is finished, no matter how many or few enemies they've killed. If trade run is, for exemple, NY-OmiBeta-Sigma19-NY, they'll get their reward once the convoy reaches NY.

Option2=Escorts become 1M per enemy kill or 1M per segment.
Escorts can join and leave the convoy whenever they want. They'll become their reward once they leave the convoy. Using the same exemple as before, if an escort kills 3 times [R]rogue1 and one time [R]rogue6 in OmiBeta-Sigma19, and no more kills in Sigma19-NY segment, then he'll become 4+1=5M.

Note: When I say "enemy" I mean players, not npcs.

IMPORTANT: In both options, if half of traders die there'll be no reward for escorts!

Obviously all of this can be discussed between traders and escorts.

A word of caution: we Reavers are going to attack traders that fly outside the EFZ or the Event System, using any tactics we deem fit that are legal by the server rules. The same as we do now. We won't limit ourselves by the rules you set.


Doing regular trade convoys and clearing up the rules for paying escorts beforehand is a good idea, but trying to artificially limit the number of attackers is not. It's the same as if a group of smugglers told the police that "we're doing a smuggling event, so you can't do this or that, and attack us with more ships than we have, kkthxbai". Also, if I might point it out, the attackers don't get any benefits from playing by your rules, so there's no reason at all for them to lose their RP for your convenience only - and you can't force them to do that. If you find you're outnumbered, well, better bring more escorts and try to outwit your pursuers. After all, common sense also says that saying the words "you can't attack us" when they can is not an effective tactic :P If you really want to "enforce strategy in this game", well, then you'll have to organise the convoy and its defenders to be better, not its attackers to be worse. I look forward to seeing what new in-game tactics you will come up with :)

Rule 1. Is there to make sure all pl. have fun. (it is not fun for me if I am alone and you have all info for my trade route and 2+ of you wants to attack me).I spend time calculating how many attackers can come on trader(s) or trader with escort I think I find balance but we will see after all this is EVENT rules not general void rules.
Rule 2. Is there to give chance to trader(s) to survive attacker(s)
Rule 3. gives a room for attackers to make plan not to be attack from the same place where they are dock.(if attackers and escort is dock on same place we will have classic undock pvp )I see this one of the benefits second one is that attackers have info about trade routes, third is no limit of area of attack.
Rule 4. Is there to make transfers of cargo possible (at least one of the traders will be westernhand and we will use and ports and ring, base as well).

About prices yes I was thinking to share profit with escort. For attackers they will have cargo hold and plus 1 mil per trader they kill (escort does not count).

I know that this is an unusual but because I dont have form teams and if I want to reach a goal to be interesting for everybody I think this is solution. I have spent time putting myself in all 3 groups (trader, escort and attackers) to find best for all.
Give a try if dont work next time we will make changes .Also will be good to pl. swish their places from attacker to escort, trader or opposite.

Strength and honor

Two times in two days, and I can't come to raid your convoy on neither :/ Ah well, here's hoping that somebody else does. A bit of advice, though: you shouldn't post your route beforehand. If someone's going after a convoy, it adds more flavor (and difficulty) if they have to figure out the way you're heading themselves :)
