Escort request: cashing in a massive reward for hunting down an infamous outlaw (Friday Nov. 8th 20:00 GMT~)

A player group placed a bounty of 60 Void Opals on an infamous outlaw.

I'm the lucky pilot who completed the contract:

The transfer and selling of said Void Opals will happen this Friday (Nov. 8th) from around 20:00 GMT. I will need an escort so that I can safely sell the void opals in one of the best markets nearby the rendez-vous system which will be announced at the last minute (probably, around 19:45 GMT). I will share more details as I learn them.

In the meantime, if you are interested in organizing an escort, please check the Rules of Engagement, reply to this thread and consider joining The Citadel to organize with other folks.

Rules
  • This will happen in the bubble (Open).
  • No combat log, no menu log.
  • Bring rebuy money and a ship with decent range, interdictor, etc.
  • No SLF allowed due to the lag it (still) induces.
  • No healing effect of any kind allowed.
  • Purge your block list if possible. At the very least, don't use the blocking function to mess up with instancing. If you are blocking known outlaws or enforcers, please ignore this event.
  • No trash talk (chat, ship names, during the event and in any resulting footage): we are here to have fun. Ignore this and you may find yourself on block lists for the duration of the event, potentially future events too (screenshots please).
  • Cmdr LeKeno will pilot the Bounty Transporter and has an empty block list (always been that way).
  • Cmdr LeKeno will do its best to accept any incoming friend request to increase the chance of instancing and action.
  • Cmdr LeKeno might broadcast on Twitch or YouTube (not sure it will work, last time I tried it just stopped on its own).
  • Crimes off preferred.
  • Try to name your ship with Escort - [whatever] if you want to escort. Don't backstab, keep it fun.
Goals
  • Bounty Transporter: selling the Void Opals at a high price.
  • Escort: protecting the bounty transporter.
  • Robbers: stealing Void Opals, or destroying the bounty transporter.
Scoring
  • 100 pts for selling 1 void opal.
  • 100 pts for stealing 1 void opal.
  • Destruction of the bounty transporter = void opals in the cargo * 50 pts
  • Destruction of an escort / robber ship = 25 pts (not the primary objective; record a video for it to count, only ships with Escort in their names or clearly participating will be considered)

Will comms be on the Citadel discord server? I am thinking this may be a good opportunity for those who would maybe like to try PvP for the first time to just lurk and listen. Maybe newer PvPers could watch and fly with us using stock Sidewinders with a fuel scoop? Organized PvP is super fun and I sincerely wish more Commanders would join us in combat. PvP doesn't need more targets. PvP needs more combat pilots, especially silly ones with a healthy sense of humor. Only some of us are psychopaths!!!!
 
If anyone would like to participate in tomorrow's slug fest but is unsure, please feel free to contact me via messaging/start a conversation. It's the little envelope icon on the top right hand corner of this page. o7
 
Looks more like a 1vs4 gank... Maybe that is also why PvP in Elite never gets the attention it might deserve...?

Ganking is a valid and much beloved play style.
Pirating is a valid and much beloved play style.
Organized PvP is a valid and much beloved play style.
CQC is a valid and not loved enough play style.
:)

I am going to guess the reason PvP does not get the attention it deserves is due to financial reasons on the part of Fdev. PvPers may be the smallest demographic in the game.

PvP compared to many activities in Solo mode is complicated. Success in Elite PvP requires some tenacity and devotion. The amount of grinding and the amount of time necessary to build the necessary physical coordination and engineered ship for Elite PvP is prohibitive to a lot of people. In addition your ego takes a beating. You get better by losing....by exploding .... by seeing what better pilots can do. You get crushed a lot. At least I have.

It's not the outcome or particular style of PvP that causes people to not try PvP. It's the process.

Funds are always limited, Frontier will always develop with the majority in mind.

This sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy yourselves.

I would participate, however timezones often make these things difficult.
 
i will personally be present in SPEAR teamspeak and Citadel discord voice channels simultanly to bridge all pilots involved.

For tax evasion the sake of helping many local economies, I'll only sell a third or so of the Void Opals at any one given market, and then move on to another one.

Mission is over. Only 1 casualty: a void opal that someone bumped into.

Sold 59 void opals at 4 stations: Akualanu (24 LY), LHS 3006 (200 LY), Orrere, and Shinrarta.

Open isn't that dangerous afterall.
 
well the outlaws didnt show up yesterday altough they knew where we are cause there were
2 live streams with announcements of the next waypoints
and we informed an important rep of the outlaws 24 hours before
i even started a pre stream two hours before the event explaining what we are doing and this is a great opportunity to earn G4G points.
and there were tons of infos in discords and even a thread here.

i am afraid the conclusion of yesterday is that the outlaws are not longer interested to fight big enforcer fleets 🤷
cause going to LHS 3006 (kinda roa base)
ORRERE (home system of the code)
and even in the end SHINRARTA
without even one attack can only have this conclusion in my book.

but this means in the other way round we should be able to protect hotspots easily in future.
we will see.

our event was fun nevertheless
the thrill of not knowing what happens at the next waypoints
using scout sections of the fleet to clear the passage from the actual waypoint to the next
the comtac big ship wing which transfered the opals all this was a cool show and experience for the participants.
20 pilots of SPEAR were involved all together in one voice channel. friday evening enforcer party 🥳

if someone is interested the whole mission is recorded at my twitch channel.
