2014-06-29 - World Cup trader event is live

---

The march to the final of the football world cup in Brazil has begun with the completion of the pool stage. The organisers need to stock up on replica world cup trophies for all the fans to buy. This is where you come in.

The Pilot who accumulates the most replica world cup trophies before the end of 13th July will win the top prize, which will be a unique Traders ship bigger and faster than the Bulk Hauler MK2. You can stash the trophies in a warehouse, any type of facility storage or in your ships cargo hold. They all count towards the total you have.

How to get trophies?: Well you will be able to buy them on some markets, some of the NPC ships flying around have them in their cargo holds which you could scoop up. Perhaps the best way though would be to make them yourself. To do this you can now buy a new Silversmith facility and make the trophies.

There are some catches though.
Firstly the facility must be built on the Moon, which has become open to everyone for the duration of this event (ends 13th July).
Second is that one of the resource items (Gold) is only available by mining the Moon

Worried about what to do with them after the event?. I'll set the Market up here on the Moon to buy all surplus after the Final game.
