History

“In Life; there are Wolves, Sheep, and Sheep Dogs. We are the Sheep Dogs…”

WHERE WE HAVE BEEN:

ACES HIGH [ACESHIGH] was founded in 2011. We are based in the United States, Mid Atlantic Region. We are actively seeking and recruiting European, Asian, and Australian citizens to round out our International Organization. Many of our core officers and members have been with us for many years. We have primarily been centered around coordinated atmospheric aerial combat in the 20th and 21st centuries. Many of our founding officers and members are dedicated flight simmers, and real-life pilots with loads of detailed atmospheric flight knowledge. The organization has been managed via a paramilitary command structure from its inception, so we shall carry that into our exploits within the Star Citizen Universe. MILSIM role play is not what we do here. With that, Hard Core combat pilots are not in short supply within ACESHIGH.

We presently host a combined total of approximately 900 members. We host multiple gaming communities, such as World of Tanks, World of Warships, World of Warplanes, Armored Warfare, War Thunder, PUBG, Ghost Recon, SQUAD, iRacing, WoW, American Truck Simulator, Farming Simulator 22, and so on. We also fly within flight simulations such as Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), MS Flight Simulator, and IL-2. The vast majority of our present members are highly trained in aerial dogfighting and ground attack coordination. The majority of these members are now migrating into the Star Citizen Alpha with the officer team to learn about combat piloting in the vacuum of space, as well as the many other career mechanics coming online within the Persistent Universe, as we progress through the Alpha and Beta toward Commercial Release.

WHERE WE ARE GOING:

ACES HIGH leadership and members have gathered an impressive number and variety of ships in SC Alpha. Many of the leadership-owned ships shall be made available for organization member use within our Organization Hangars. We are attempting to acquire a workable contingency fleet of industrial-type ships to assist the membership and organization in the UEC (United Earth Credit) earning, and reputation building process. Our approach is that ongoing industrial pursuits by any organization in Star Citizen will require constant org-provided escort and logistical support, in order to remain profitable and meaningful. Our core concept is this cooperative model, utilizing our pre-existing extensive aerial combat experience as a foundation will provide an excellent base for growth into the Star Citizen Universe.

ACES HIGH shall be a Self Sufficient Organization. Our multiple inner-org civilian disciplines benefiting greatly from the highly effective protection our Military Task Force provides on a 24-hour basis. This high level of protection shall allow our resource gathering efforts to be highly profitable and effective and shall promote higher-level profit sharing potential for all members, no matter the ACESHIGH division they may find themselves participating in. We seek to explore together, learn together, fight together, and earn together. This is the ACESHIGH cooperative mentality which continues on from our founding.

We see this platform as the ‘future’ of PC gaming and wish to become a fundamental force and an integral part of its development.

Here are some of the Capital Class and Sub-Capital Class vessels the Admiralty have accumulated for org use, and those owned by our presently backing members:

Aegis Dynamics – Javelin Destroyer = 5 – Designed for use by the UEE military, the Javelin is a massive, modular capital ship that can be appropriated for entrepreneurial use. With a detailed interior, plenty of modular room options, and a high crew capacity, the Javelin is a ship intended for group play. We shall need ‘many’ able-bodied crewmen for these ships! This is the Largest Player Purchasable, non-persistent, Capital Ship in Star Citizen.
Aegis Dynamics – Idris-M Frigate = 2 – Larger than a bomber but smaller than a ship of the line, frigates occupy an interesting space in the pantheon of warships. While they lack the heavy armor and the capital weaponry of a cruiser, frigates are more maneuverable and are highly configurable. This is a Capital Class Warship!
Aegis Dynamics – Idris-P Frigate = 12 – A Mark II “Peacekeeper” variant developed for the UEE patrol services, the Idris-P strips the standard ship’s ship-to-ship gun and spinal mount in favor of additional cargo capacity and superior speed. This is a Capital Class Ship!
Aegis Dynamics – Hammerhead = 12 – A fast patrol ship with multiple turrets designed to combat fighters, the Hammerhead is equally suited to support larger capital ships in a fleet or act as a flagship for fighter groups.
Aegis Dynamics – Nautilus = 4 – With four centuries of distinguished service under its belt, The Aegis Dynamics Nautilus tactical minelayer represents the ultimate in strategic combat engineering, with fully-integrated mine-deployment, sweeping and disarming capabilities.
“Aegis Dynamics – Reclaimer = 25 – The Aegis Reclaimer is an industrial salvage ship. Equipped with a reinforced cargo bay, a long-range jump drive, and launch pods for unmanned drones, the Reclaimer is an ideal ship for taking advantage of deep space wrecks. Tractor beams, floodlights, scanner options, and docking ports round out the tools on this capable, utilitarian spacecraft.
Aegis Dynamics – Retaliator = 23 – Long Range Modular Platform. Variants include: Heavy Bomber, Marine Drop Ship, Extended Range Armored Personnel Transport, and Armored Cargo Transport.
Aegis Dynamics – Redeemer = 20 – A heavily armed/armored Gunship used for the delivery of Star Marine parties to FPS combat whenever/wherever needed, then linger in support. These will be primary escort ships to ensure the safety of our industrial assets.
Anvil Aerospace – Liberator = 2 – Anvil continues its tradition of excellence with the Liberator, an open-air vehicle carrier that applies the tradition of long-range transport to a smaller scale. Designed with the same quantum drive and long-distance capabilities of military-spec carriers and pathfinders but tailored to the civilian market, the Liberator puts your fleet on the front lines of any operation.
Anvil Aerospace – Crucible = 16 – A so-called “flying toolbox,” the Crucible is Anvil Aerospace’s first dedicated repair ship. Featuring a rotating control bridge and a detachable pressurized workspace, the Crucible is a versatile mobile garage equipped with repair arms, a drone operation center, and all the equipment needed to overhaul a damaged craft back into fighting shape.
Anvil Aerospace – Carrack = 43 – The Anvil Carrack features reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, an advanced jump drive, and a dedicated computer core for jump charting operations. Originally a military exclusive, the Carrack is now available for civilian use. Onboard accommodations include crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite.
Anvil Aerospace – Valkyrie = 3 – In the days of antiquity, the Valkyrie were believed to choose who would live and who would die on the field of war. Now, Anvil is putting that choice in your hands. Seize fate and turn the tide of battle. Rugged, high-performance jump seats safely transport up to twenty personnel into and out of the fray. A vehicle bay and speed ramp efficiently launch ground-based transport or reconnaissance vehicles for unmatched support. Four powerful VTOL thrusters facilitate surgically precise take-offs and landings, while a devastating array of weaponry blurs the line between dropship and gunship.
Argo Astronautics – M.O.L.E. = 4 – ARGO’s pragmatic no-nonsense approach to ship design is celebrated in the unmistakable silhouette of the MOLE. Just one look at this machine and you know it means business. Tap into your full potential with the combined force of ARGO’s patented trilateral mining system. The MOLE has a total of 24 mineral pods, each holding 12 SCU. Eight pods are usable at one time – when they’re full, either head home or jettison them for collection by another vessel and carry on mining. Three independently controlled articulated extraction stations allow for maximum power and near-limitless versatility. The MOLE lives by the adage ’many hands make for light work’.
Banu – Merchantman = 29 – Banu (alien) technology. A very large trade and cargo hauling vessel. This baby is heavily armed and defended on its own! She can hold her own in lawless space! Banu traders are renowned for their merchant prowess, traveling the space lanes and trading with everyone from humans to the Vanduul! Their sturdy, dedicated trading ships are prized beyond all other transports, sometimes passing from generation to generation of Banu.
Consolidated Outland – Pioneer = 8 – After their auspicious debut with the Mustang, Consolidated Outland has gone and changed the game again with the reveal of the Pioneer. This self-contained mobile construction yard is capable of creating planetary modular structures, ushering a new wave of aspiring colonists to customize their new homes on the frontier.
Crusader Industries – Genesis Starliner = 5 – The Genesis is yet another landmark in Crusader Industries’ proud history of transport designs. This ship utilizes award-winning manufacturing techniques and the highest quality parts to create one thing; a next-generation passenger ship at a price that won’t break your budget. Crusader Industries’ proprietary NeoG engine technology offers some of the most efficient flight for a ship of its size.
Crusader Industries – Hercules C2 Starlifter = 1 – Utilizing the patented Hercules military-grade spaceframe and expanding cargo capacity, while sacrificing barely any firepower, the C2 has taken the private sector by storm. It has become the industry standard for racing teams, ship dealers and manufacturers, construction orgs, mining corporations, and even large-scale touring entertainment outfits.
Crusader Industries – Hercules M2 Starlifter = 3 – The M2 Hercules is the UEE’s premier tactical starlifter. The ship’s potent combination of capacity, maneuverability, and durability make it the obvious choice in large-scale transport, and a robust weapons package assures your cargo, and crew, gets to where they’re going in one piece.
Crusader Industries – Hercules A2 Gunship = 4 – The A2 gunship has been used to devastating effect in airborne assaults, search and rescue operations, and landing initiatives. With more than double the firepower of the M2, and a custom bomb bay capable of delivering a staggering payload, the A2 caters to anyone hauling massive amounts of cargo through potentially unfriendly skies.
Drake Interplanetary – Kraken = 3 – The Kraken is a protector and a beacon of freedom in a too-often cruel universe. For those tasked with safekeeping Citizens unable to protect themselves, the Kraken is both a sanctuary and a self-contained war machine ready to take on the most daunting adversaries. Drake has thrown out the rule book to redefine private-use capital-class ships, attack carriers, and the very nature of personal freedom. It’s nothing if not a testament to the empowerment of the people.
Drake Interplanetary – Caterpillar = 22 – Drake maintains that the Caterpillar, a sprawling, modular spacecraft which appears at least somewhat like its namesake, is for legitimate commerce and extended search and rescue missions… but at the end of the day, the Caterpillar is truly the evil twin of the Freelancer.
Esperia – Tevarin Prowler = 5 – Named after the UPE military designation, the Prowler is a modernized version of the infamous Tevarin armored personnel carrier. Esperia’s Astro-engineers were given unmitigated access to study original versions of the ship recently discovered in the Kabal system to help meticulously reconstruct the vehicle. Now, the Prowler is the perfect fusion of two cultures: the elegance and effectiveness of the Tevarin war machine combined with the reliability of modern Human technology.
MISC – Endeavor – All Classes = 15 – Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern is proud to present the Endeavor-class research vessel, a fully modular space platform designed to be adapted for a variety of scientific and medical tasks. Initially developed as a floating laboratory, the MISC Endeavor can be outfitted with everything from the spatial telescope to use as a mobile hospital.
MISC – Starfarer Gemini = 22 – This vessel is an Aegis military variant of the classic MISC Starfarer. A relatively large, 7 crewman, armored, fueling, refining, hydrogen collection ship. This ship shall support org-wide deep space missions with refueling and a heavily armored presence.
MISC – Starfarer = 8 – The Starfarer differs from traditional bulk freighters in one key way: it is a dedicated fuel platform. The Starfarer is designed not only to load, store and protect fuel stasis units, it is designed to take in space-borne hydrogen and then refine it for use without landing. The Starfarer can be used to ferry traditional bulk cargo pods (see diagram) but in such cases, the fuel refining equipment would be useless. This equipment is modular and can be swapped out for another mission package for dry operations!
MISC – Hull E = 8 – The largest specialized freighter available on the market today, the Hull E is generally owned by major corporations and operated with a high degree of planning. The lack of maneuverability inherent in such a large ship means that anyone planning to operate them should be careful about equipping turrets and providing escort. Their potential load (and modularity) is unparalleled, however: no other ship allows as much room to store goods or to modify towards another role!
MISC – Hull D = 5 – The Hull D kicks off the larger end of the spectrum with a massive ship built around a rugged frame. The Hull D is affordable enough to be operated by mid-sized organizations and companies. Hull D are often used as flagships for mercantile operations, but their bulk means that they should be operated with escort fighters while not in safe space. The UEE military uses modified Hull D as part of their supply chain, arming and refueling the soldiers on the front line.
MISC – Hull C = 12 – Often called the most common ship in the galaxy, the Hull C is the most-produced of the range and is considered by many to be the most versatile. Intended to hit the ‘sweet spot’ between the smaller single-person transports and the massive super-freighters that make up the rest of the range, the Hull C offers the expansive modularity of the larger ships while still retaining a modicum of the maneuverability allowed the low end of the range.
Origin Jumpworks – 890 Jump = 10 – With an elegant, sleek exterior that belies its spacious interior, the 890 Jump is a true engineering marvel; crafted to impress from every angle by combining a unique, innovative design with the finest materials and the most advanced technology. The result is a vessel that is in a class all of its own, a masterpiece worthy of the name ORIGIN. Comes with 2 bays for fighter/transport craft.
Origin Jumpworks – 600i Touring = 1 – Let the voyage begin with the 2947 600i from Origin Jumpworks. This multi-role luxury vessel from Origin Jumpworks features an exquisitely detailed hull design that balances performance and versatility in a sleek and timeless form. The 600i is designed with cutting-edge modular technology, allowing you to customize your ship for your needs. Taking the family on a long-distance trip across the stars? The Touring module lets your guests relax in ease with stunning furniture from some of the Empire’s top designers.
Origin Jumpworks – 600i Exploration = 8 – Let the voyage begin with the 2947 600i from Origin Jumpworks. This multi-role luxury vessel from Origin Jumpworks features an exquisitely detailed hull design that balances performance and versatility in a sleek and timeless form. The 600i is designed with cutting-edge modular technology, allowing you to customize your ship for your needs. Looking to stamp your name in history with the discovery of a new star system? The 600i’s Explorer module swaps the lounge for a robust scanning station as well as additional utility hardpoints to increase the ship’s effectiveness even more.
Robert’s Space Industries – Polaris Corvette = 27 – The Polaris is a nimble corvette-class capital ship that packs a powerful punch with a full armament of turrets and torpedoes. Intended for use as both a naval patrol ship and to serve as the flagship of militia operations, Polaris has the capacity to perform search and rescue operations, light strike missions and general security patrols. The Polaris includes the facilities to repair, rearm and refuel a single fighter, light bomber, or support ship.
Robert’s Space Industries – Perseus = 3 – When RSI set out to make the definitive modern statement in persuasive prevention, they looked into their own past, to the historic gunships designated Perseus. Capable of shredding sub-capital class goliaths, the mere presence of a Perseus gunship in a blockade or patrol squad is enough to make your most aggressive enemies think twice before engaging, just like its vintage namesake.
Robert’s Space Industries – Orion = 26 – Massive deep space mining centric vessel! Roberts Space Industries’ goal has always been to make the stars available to individual Citizens. Now, with the RSI Orion mining platform, RSI is letting individuals take over a process formerly controlled by mega-corporations. The Orion’s features include high-grade turret-mounted tractor beam arrays, plenty of mineral storage, and a cabin designed by the team that brought you the Aurora and Constellation!

This shall not be a dedicated Division, but a Racing Team which gathers to participate in Murray Cup annual events.

[ACESHIGH] wants you to prosper in the Star Citizen universe. Solo (non-org generated) missions shall be available to all members. We do ask that our potential recruits and members remember that it may very well be more fun and profitable to work alongside your org-mates on command generated cooperative missions. These missions will be generated daily and be made available to all org members 24/7 via the upcoming org mobile app APIs. There will always be something neat cooking on the [ACESHIGH] job boards! :)

We are seeking recruits who are agreeable to the general goals and tenets set forth above. If you are agreeable to the outlined goals, we eagerly look forward to an enduring partnership!

Charter

VISION

“ACES HIGH is committed to building a multifaceted community that explores the unique and diverse gameplay that is Star Citizen. We constantly look to maximize our enjoyment of the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever”. We work to ensure that we are successful in what we do in the game, and we always do so as a team. We’re building an organization that our members can depend on, a family within Star Citizen which always has the best interests of our members at heart.”

MISSION

“Deliver well organized daily gameplay experiences for all members through the implementation and improvement of organization infrastructure, resources, and activities; so that experiences are dynamic and scalable for as many players as is required. We want our collective experience to be accessible, fun, and successful.”

Our Mission is key to our enjoyment and success, and is a cornerstone of building a thriving community.

CORE TENETS

The following are cornerstones that guide, support, and help us achieve our organization’s Mission:

I – GAMEPLAY

We provide infrastructure, resources, and activities to enable and optimize Well Organized Gameplay Experiences around the core game activities as developed by CIG :

ACCESSIBLE
• All members shall have fair access to game opportunities. For those members who seek leadership or more advanced roles, we offer training to help you achieve the required qualifications, rank, or certification that will get you to the next level.

BALANCED
• We always seek to strike a balance between real life and game time. We always put real life first, and we do not expect you to put in a minimum amount of game time. Our infrastructure and programs are designed to increase the skill sets of our members, regardless of whether your commitment is casual or harder core. However, should you wish to put in the time to gain experience and to train, the sky’s the limit for your skill level and, of course, credit earning potential. We aim to be the best – and we’re not afraid to put in the work to make that happen.

GROUPING
• ACESHIGH has developed tools that allow us to quickly and efficiently form scaleable groups for all trades/functions on the fly. We want you to be able to join us and get into a meaningful mission with the smallest amount of downtime possible.

LAWFUL
• The ACESHIGH organization and all of its members are committed to upholding UEE laws and standards, first and foremost, no matter where in the universe we may find ourselves conducting operations. The defense of org members, assets and territory is our first and highest priority, but we will fight in the defense of the UEE and “non-aggressors” whenever and wherever possible. Our long-standing collective, cooperative combat discipline proves highly useful in these scenarios. The maintenance of a good Reputation Rating with the UEE government is vital in securing high profile government contracts.

II – INFRASTRUCTURE / ADMINISTRATION

We provide leadership, infrastructure, tools, guides, programs, training, etc. to enable our Mission:

ACCESS TO INFORMATION
• The information our members need such as Org Chart, Fleet Sheet, Training Programs, etc. are maintained, updated, and published in logical, consistent, and easily accessible manners for our members’ ease of search, understanding, reference, and our alignment as a community.

LEAN & EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION INFRASTRUCTURE
• We endeavor to enable all members, from Chief Executive to Prospect, to spend at least 75%+ of their Star Citizen time “in-game, engaging with comrades.” Our organization’s policies and infrastructure (website, communications platforms, etc.) are designed with this in mind and will evolve as Star Citizen evolves to deliver the promise of our Vision and our Mission.

MILITARY OFFICERS & CIVILIAN LEADERS
• Under the direction of organization founders, leadership positions are open to and comprised of those who – through community spirit, passion for the game and passion for ACESHIGH – apply to volunteer their time and attention to take on delegated authority as positions are created or vacated. Interested in serving the community? Speak with any leadership council member!

SCALEABLE & DYNAMIC
• The primary purpose of our leadership and organization systems is to distribute information effectively to potentially thousands of members simultaneously. The main goal is always to try to maximize our in-game effectiveness, which makes us more successful and helps make the game even more enjoyable. Our solutions are aimed at accomplishing these goals by ensuring that each member is ready to deploy as quickly as possible to take part in org activities and be effective during said activities. We accomplish this by making sure our systems are scalable and flexible enough to handle a wide array of daily situations.

III – ORGANIZATION IN-GAME ALIGNMENT AND STRUCTURE

In Star Citizen, ACESHIGH is a self-sustaining UEE-allied organization, with a focus on security and industry. We operate as a semi-autonomous entity within Star Citizen, operating without the influence of other organizations, governments or groups outside of the UEE.

Our Military Sector follows a Naval command structure (see Manifesto)
Our Civilian Sector follows a more Corporate structure (see Manifesto)
