There has to be some rules, or aclarations so that there are no unfair moves to the rest of the participants, which can ruin the fun. For example, no usage of the banking system (something that wasn't in 2005 where that thread was made ). This is as a rule, as players cannot control that, but if there are risk of some players being untrusted, a GR could control that and give up on the race, if needed... hopefully people can be trusted after a single limitation rule, for the sake of the fun Only…

Yes, Cargo Pods sounds safe. The EMs can have several ships/chars prepared for an event, for when it's needed, he can switch between his chars (no matter with EM status or simple chars like fighters) to keep an eye on competitors, when needed. But I am not sure on a detail of this event, the second part of the race, is it planned to be a 1 way trip (but with no stops), for example: New York -> New London -> New Berlin -> Back to New York for the end line (all in that order), and the first to ge…

Uhm, so it would be both commodities and cargo pods ? For it to be easier, it could be only with Cargo Pods as they are static, or, for it to be challenging, it could be commodities-only. Both at once can be unfair if the math is not correct and the points unbalanced, like, everyone would just go for the pods as they are safe points, or such. Or maybe this is just me for not trading ? xD I also just remembered that part of the trading ships have no Cargo Pod slots, so... a commodities-only run …

Ok then, time to make the math of it You said 100 points for each 1 000 000 $ from Cargo Pods, and how much for each 1 000 000 $ made by commodities ? It has to be more than 100 each, to fit up to 1900, and also to fit the risk of actually taking commodities instead of "going safe". That's the big risk, if it doesn't look balanced, everyone will just go safe, and it will be like a common race, first arrives, first wins. Or maybe commodities can make more profit than cargo pods, that could balan…

Uh, so an Armored Transport would still have 1900 a piece ? And what you mean by " a piece", 1900 x 2500 ?

So, is PodMan still around, to decide on things on the event, or will it be on other people's hands ?

Yeah, the pods was the simple version, but that is as good as going with no cargo and just racing with the trains, since there is only 1 thing to do with cargo pods. It's not decided yet, anyway, so let's see which version gets more support, or so.

Whatever can be handled in less than an hour People don't tend to have time for more than that.
