Alright, week one is down. Moving on to week two!!
As a reminder to all participants of the Aerodrome, there will be 2 signups this week. This first signup is for the Trader Contracts. Meaning you are electing to be on Blue team and start with the Cargo first. The Rival Contracts will be posted on Wednesday for Red Spawn. So brave ones, add your names in. Rivals, plot with villainous grins and creepy laughs as you wait for your contracts to open.
There will be weekly prizes so be sure to keep track of your teammate names in case you win.
However for this signup, all I need is your company name and CEO. If you did not register last week, I'll need you to do full registration for this week. Example from the early registration thread for those newcomers:
Company: Zukasauce Inc
Mission Statement: "To spread Zuka's love through all the world via his sauce."
Base of Operations: Starostrog, Guild
Logo (Optional): <Artistic Zuka Sultry Grin image>
CEO: Zuka
Steam ID, In game Name: Zuka2016, Zukamania
Now because this is the official signup week. I need you to add one more bit of vital information...your match choice.
So reply with:
Contract Requested: <Insert map name here>
Then also if you could state if you are willing to mercenary for other matches, that would help a lot too. Basically means your official match counts but the others will be bonus battles to help fill matches. So "Willing to Merc: Yes/No"
If you already signed up on prior weeks or pre-registration, just list the contract you want and merc willingness.Alright, thats it. Again, there is no long term commitment with this event. Take contracts as often or as seldom as you like. Twitch streaming info will be posted in the schedule thread later. If you are a new team, you will get passwords and mumble server info sent to you on here via PM from me.
Remember, all point payouts are split between ships on your team.
Week Two Trade Contracts:
Contract 1: Defrosting Iceheads
Map: Fight Over Firnfeld
Cargo: Fuel
Payout: 300
This contract just in from Gillburm. Heavy storms in the area this last week have dropped more snow than anticipated. Angleans may be hearty savages but even their cities under the ice can get too cold for them. Thus an order has been placed for fuel to use for heating. With fuel supplies still recovering from the war, there is shortages in many cities of Anglea.
As with all Anglean shipments right now, you will deliver them to the dockmaster in Kinforth who will then utilize local shipping services to deliver them on to Gillburm.Contract 2: Fjordic Brewmasters
Map: Fjords
Cargo: Hooch
Payout: 300You'll like this run. The Fjordlanders have a Brewery up at Northlake. There they have product that needs to get from Northlake down to Vyshtorg. The war interrupted shipments and the price of Fjordic brews have sky rocketed down south. Apparently it is a rather large delivery and the King wants to use it to help pay for the relief services being provided by the Guild. We'll of course keep it secret and sell it higher for as long as we can.
That said, due to the nature of the cargo, if a few bottles go missing, you will not be held accountable. The Guild will easily recoup by offsetting the cost even more.
Contract 3: Pumps For Nalm
Map: Dunes
Cargo: Machinery/Parts
Payout: 300The refugees and soldiers displaced by the war and those recovering from injuries has placed a heavy burden on local water resources. As such, pumps have broken down in Nalm and unfortunately the parts to fix them are in short supply. Or so we've been told. However, I'd be willing to bet Slyka could be up to their usual tricks trying to drive the Nalmese out.
Thus this contract is for delivery of the parts needed to fix the local water system. We don't expect Sylka involvement against us but just be on your guard.
Contract 4: Arcca Fuzzy Wuzzies
Map: Water Hazard
Cargo: Livestock
Payout: 300I've said it before and I'll say it again...we are never shipping cows. Unfortunately other critters are not exempted.
Due to deliveries made last week to Amida, they've listed a trade contract for a livestock shipment delivered to the settlements in the teeth. Now much of it is chickens and smaller animals so thankfully, you literally won't be flying around smelling of feces and your ship won't need to be washed as heavily after delivery. However, livestock is livestock...this isn't a glorious cargo run.
Just get this job over with. Hurry on up to Arcca then make your delivery to the settlers in the teeth.
Contract 5: Yeshan Spoilage
Map: Canyon Ambush
Cargo: Salt
Payout: 300
Preservation in food is important and Yesha has found themselves running low on salt supplies which has impacted their ability to supply Anglea and other nations with food supplies as is written in their trade contracts.
Thus a contract has been written up for us to pick up a shipment from Suna in the Endless Salts region and deliver it to Chang-ning. Just a simple milk run job. Nothing major, but even small things like salt can impact an entire nation right now.
