Next weekend we will have EosCon and the week after that probably a cargo drop event.

Our tournaments will continue, but the rules are slightly different in the next one:
- 3vs3
- Team weight limit 3000 tons

Most likely teams will use 3x 1000 ton ships, but we might see some other combo within the weight limit. No dates yet for the next tournament, but several weeks at the very least.

Location: Origin Gate, Live Server

Duration: Friday, January 27, 2023 7:00 PM UTC to Sunday, January 29, 2023 7:00 PM UTC

Patch notes:

- Capital Ship Fast Travel Core charge requirement removed

This drastically reduces time required to start long distance warps, as only the capital ship shield generator needs to be charged. Waiting for hours is gone!

[h2]Cargo Crisis Event Info[/h2]
It's been some time since the last cargo event, so this Sunday (Dec 11th) the Merchants at the Moon Merchant Haven on Elysium will need some help! They are now expecting several cargo shipments, fortifications, and perhaps a ship needing escort assistance between 20:00-22:00 UTC.

Event Location: Between Elysium Moon City & Moon Merchant Haven Station

• You can get to Moon City using the Fast Travel Gate from Origins
  
• Moon Merchant Haven station has a transponder and is around 50km away from Moon City
  
• Cargo drops will be between these two
  

Note: When the cargo drops or a ship arrives, this will be announced at Moon City and the official Starbase Discord #galatic-news channel: https://discord.com/channels/423790999052222464/1011522785174093844
