Next weekend we will have EosCon and the week after that probably a cargo drop event.
Our tournaments will continue, but the rules are slightly different in the next one: - 3vs3 - Team weight limit 3000 tons
Most likely teams will use 3x 1000 ton ships, but we might see some other combo within the weight limit. No dates yet for the next tournament, but several weeks at the very least.

Cargo Crisis
Merchants at the Moon Merchant Haven on Elysium are expecting several cargo shipments this Sunday (September 4th) between 6:00-7:00 UTC and 13:00-21:00 UTC.
They are in need of salvagers to help dismantle the lucrative cargo into raw ore, and a taskforce to keep the area secure to work in. Due to lack of security and intense fighting during previous shipments, the merchants have acquired blueprints for fortifications that will be dropped alongside the cargo for protection:

Cargo Drops & Merchant Trader
Cargo Drops & Merchant Trader
This weekend a couple of things are happening in Starbase (Live Server).
Cargo Drops - Saturday Aug 27th 11:00-20:00 UTC @ Ghost Station Relicta
Merchants at Origin are expecting several cargo shipments to arrive this Saturday (August 27th) between 11:00 and 21:00 UTC near Ghost Station Relicta.
Salvagers, haulers and security are needed to help dismantle the lucrative cargo.
Due to the high value of the deliveries, the merchants will send a broadcast to the workers on Origin 1 and Origin 30, alerting when a shipment has arrived.
WHERE? Ghost Station Relicta can easily be spotted from Origin 1 or Origin 30, by flying underneath them and looking towards the asteroid belt. It is around 80km away. Good luck!
Merchant Trader - Sunday Aug 28th 18:00 UTC @ Markka Station
Some immeasurably wealthy merchants will arrive on a trade mission to Markka Station this Sunday.
To complete the construction of a new capital and it's supporting fighters, the merchants are in need of various alloys to be delivered to Markka.
On Sunday 28th of August at 18:00 UTC - The merchants will buy ALL of the alloys listed below, at these prices or lower, from the Markka Auction House
Glass - 15k
Alium Alloy - 25k
Bastonium Alloy - 35k
Exutium Alloy - 55k
Tallium Alloy - 225k
WHERE? Markka is found by following the Ghost Station Relicta, then Ghost Station Nox. The transponder of Markka should appear by then. Fly safe!
