*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT: For the attention of all Commanders*<br/>New starports constructed in ten systems causing increased commodity demand.<br/>Several refinery [[outpost]]s have now been upgraded to starports, following an initiative to improve access to large ships for refuelling [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]]. [[Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd]] has completed construction of the following [[Orbis]] [[starport]]s:<br/>Harper Plant in the Fjorgyn system<br/>Iqbal Hub in the HR 4979 system<br/>Stephenson Dock in the Wolf 294 system<br/>McQuarrie Landing in the Lambda-2 Tucanae system<br/>Hartsfield Plant in the Potriti system<br/>The following [[Coriolis]] starports have been constructed by Steel Castle Inc:<br/>Rorschach Hub in the LHS 4058 system<br/>Chargaff Installation in the Chakpa system<br/>Nagata Vision in the Gally Bese system<br/>Reilly Plant in the Eta Cephei system<br>Trevithick Vision in the Ninabin system<br/>As a result of the community drives to build these starports, there have been fluctuations on the trading market. The availability of several commodities has been reduced, resulting in increased prices and profit margins. The items affected include:<br/>[[Bauxite]]<br/>[[Building Fabricators|Building fabricators]]<br/>[[Gallite]]<br/>[[Power Generators|Power generators]]<br/>[[Rutile]]<br/>[[Thermal Cooling Units|Thermal cooling units]]<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f75a7d5452789666f287080 GalNet: New Starports Become Operational]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Pilots Federation]] ALERT: For the attention of all [[Commander]]s*<br/>New [[starport]]s to be constructed in 10 systems.<br/>Two projects to resource the upgrading of refinery [[outpost]]s into starports have concluded. The aim is to increase efficiency for [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carrier]] owners who use large ships for transporting tritium fuel. [[Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd]] published this statement from CEO Susannah Haynes: "Thanks to a generous number of deliveries, we will have in place fully functioning [[Orbis]] starports for the start of October in the Fjorgyn, HR 4979, Wolf 294, Lambda-2 Tucanae and Potriti systems. All participating traders can now collect their rewards at Blaauw Hub in the Tenche system." A similar announcement came from Dean Bradigan, director of Steel Castle Inc: "The many shipments that we received will enable us to provide new [[Coriolis]] stations in the LHS 4058, Chakpa, Gally Bese, Eta Cephei and Ninabin systems by the beginning of October. We hope these will provide services to travellers for many years to come. Rewards for all pilots who delivered these minerals are now available at Teng-hui Station in the Nagasairu system."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f68b3fe3de5305a622091d3 GalNet: Successful Initiatives to Produce New Starports]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Pilots Federation]] ALERT: For the attention of all [[Commander]]s*<br/>Trading commodities required in Nagasairu and Tenche systems.<br/>Two construction companies have requested materials to convert refinery outposts into [[starport]]s, to assist owners of [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]] who use large vessels for [[tritium]] refuelling. Susannah Haynes, CEO of [[Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd]], stated: "With the galactic community's help, we can upgrade a maximum of five outposts into [[Orbis]] starports. Our intermediaries, Tenche Universal Holdings, will accept deliveries of [[Building Fabricators|building fabricators]], [[Power Generators|power generators]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] at Blaauw Hub in the Tenche system." There were similar requests from Dean Bradigan, director of Steel Castle Inc: "For travellers who find the familiar sight of [[Coriolis]] stations welcoming, here's a chance to build up to five more. We ask for shipments of [[bauxite]], [[gallite]] and [[rutile]] to be delivered to CQC Holdings at Teng-hui Station in the Nagasairu system." The number of starports will depend on the amount of materials delivered. The target systems in order of priority are Fjorgyn, HR 4979, Wolf 294, Lambda-2 Tucanae, Potriti, LHS 4058, Chakpa, Gally Bese, Eta Cephei and Ninabin. If successful, upgrading will be done for the start of October. Both initiatives begin on 17th September 3306 and will run for one week. If the final targets for a campaign are met earlier than planned, it will end immediately.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f634d83a7c6b473fe5404e1 GalNet: Community Support Required for Starport Conversions]</ref> | |||

*A press release from [[Brewer Corporation]] discusses plans to improve access to refuelling for owners of fleet carriers. "We have been surprised and gratified by the popularity of our latest product. The options for independent pilots and crews have been considerably expanded by the versatility and capability of our [[Drake-Class Carrier]]s. But we have also listened to customers' concerns, in particular that large ships such as [[Anaconda]]s, [[Federal Corvette|Corvettes]] and [[Imperial Clipper|Clippers]] cannot dock with refinery [[outpost]]s to take on [[Tritium]] fuel. To help alleviate this issue, Brewer Corporation has partnered with two independent construction firms: [[Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd]] and Steel Castle Inc. They are tasked with upgrading a number of outposts into fully functioning [[starport]]s, in order to make refuelling runs more efficient." The two construction companies that won this contract both have impressive track records in modifying [[Station|orbital habitats]]. Kavanagh Spaceframes specialises in [[Orbis]] starports, while Steel Castle exclusively works with [[Coriolis]] designs. The projects are expected to begin next week.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f5b2c1c03116133273d3358 GalNet: Starport Upgrade Initiative to Support Fleet Carriers]</ref> | *A press release from [[Brewer Corporation]] discusses plans to improve access to refuelling for owners of fleet carriers.
