...so why not address some of the long standing issues with it and then move on from there?

The basics are:

- Financial rewards are too low, should be about 200%-800% more than they are now.

- Double the normal financial rewards should apply to UIT who take the xith to Dau

- There needs to be some sort of incentive to actually escort your team's convoy rather than using an alt character to blow it up, stockpile it and cart it later. I suggest dropping only 75% of the xith on explosion but if you manage to protect your convoy the whole way you get the full amount. That would mean that you get more from a defense than from an attack encouraging teamwork as it usually takes more than one player to defend a convoy.

- The other rewards are bad. The ability to buy Neutron III's is not good enough to warrant the effort. Consider bringing other items in under the scope of the CtC rewards like Avalons or unique ships.

Purchasable CtC rewards should have a limited number that can be bought each week. Otherwise there's little incentive to participate regularly since you can just win one week and then stockpile. Depending upon how this is handled (per-player vs global), it could also create an interesting market for these items outside of the stations.

Yeah, CtC needs some re-working, but at least they fixed the blatant exploits where you could duplicate cargo. Hooray for less broken.

Also: Bro, do you even Vendetta?

Good points, if they want to do automated events start by reinventing CtC please review 9 years worth of CtC threads and that should result in a good replacement.

^ Yeah this, exactly.
