Speaking of math, what keeps bugging me is how a ton of grain occupies the same volume as a ton of gold (I'm not even speaking of tons of slaves now as I assume it's just a placeholder until we get a passenger mechanics). I remember Chris Roberts speaking of how in his game there would be separate concepts of mass and volume. Would be hillariuos if that arcade space shooter ends up having better physics than all-so-realistic-simulator Elite Dangerous.

The Cargo Canisters have the internal volume to hold a metric ton of wheat, or what ever the most voluminous commodity is, I forget what the Devs said the dimensions were
All commodities in bulk trade are sold by the ton and place in a canister.
All Cargo Canisters are therefore are just over a ton, and due to a desire for standardisation, a canister isn't filled to the bring with gold, ending up over-weight.
Transport, stacking and placement on a ship is all simpler due to the cargo canisters having a uniform size, shape and weight.

So when I fill my cargo hold with gold, it's actually holding more empty space that actual gold? Even if my ship's thrusters allow more maximal mass (by the way, how do thrusters limit ship's mass in zero gravity? I wonder if it has to do with a speed limit in vacuum). Sounds like lost profit to me.
Anyway, that's just some off-topic grumbling.

Can someone on here do me a small favour and post the results after the event closes, so I can update the spreadsheet?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, congrats to Distance and Kryfield!

Having only a Cobra and not much capital I was only able to transport 1284t of Imperial Slaves, but that was enough to get in the top 40% for a 1MCr reward. That works out at an additional 779Cr/t on top of the ~200Cr/t Ngaiawang->Cemiess yielded, so all in all I didn't do much worse than I would have done working a regular precious metal trading route. Plus I ranked up from None to Master in the Empire, and claiming my reward at Cemiess/Mackenzie gave me Friendly status with Aisling's Empire Party (not to be confused with the twenty-seven zillion other Empire Parties out there).

Anyhow, I'm "just happy to be doin' good works".

I too had fun and made some new friends, and now I'm off to Achenar to do some sightseeing, since I have this shiny Imperal permit and all. ;)

I think we had a chance if the profitable routes (such as Ngaiawang) were known from the start. Let that be a lesson for the next time to better investigate possible trade routes right at the start of the event. Still, even if the numbers we got are 2 times lower that Torval's, I believe, we have not wasted out efforts and did a good thing. In the end, all Torval did was legalizing the slaves who were already enslaved, it's not like she enslaved free people (at lest not as the part of this particular event), and even if those 2 million slaves are now counted in official statistics making it seem like 2 million new slaves, in fact nothing really changed. On the other hand, the million slaves Aisling have freed make real difference and not just in official numbers. Even if it doesn't grant us political win, we have still set a million enslaved people free, so we should be proud of ourselves.

Meanwhile Empire Party's influence in Cemiess dropped to 36%. Perhaps until the next big event we should return to taking care of that.

I spent the whole first day checking all the stations in the area for slaves but only found the decent route from someone on this thread. In Lugh there were atleast 5 pilots scanning systems and uploading all data to a shared excel file so it was quicker to find the routes.

Everyone in open were sharing good routes with each other but was a bit too little too late. It's hard to complete a trade goal without good coordination and even harder when there's profit to be made at a different goal. We did really well considering.

Yeah, going back to boosting the Empire Party should be our priority now.

Do that by
Handing in Imperial Bounties
Trading exclusively and heavily with Empire Party owned stations
Handing in Exploration Data at mackenzie.
Running missions

Let's get their influence up and push them back into an economic boom so all these former slaves can find a place in society.
