Manifesto

Short Term Goals [As of Apr. 2951]

Recruitment and corporate outreach for RTA Trading continues to be a priority as we grow the corporation. Maintaining a steady flow of new players will allow us to grow as a community and also help new players that want to learn the ropes. Maintaining contact with other organisations that pursue similar or other goals will help support RTAT throughout its time in the ‘verse.

With the release of 3.13.0, we continue to increase player interaction, and start pursuing actual cargo fleets. This training will be vital to ensuring the protection of our cargo fleet. It will also show insight into how our future cargo operations will be created, and allow new/old players to understand the current state of Star Citizen.

Long Term Goals [As of Apr. 2951]

RTA Trading plans to have 2 main income methods. The first involves just moving cargo from A to B and selling raw resources we mine. Simple.
The second method is a little more complicated. We start off by mining resources and importing specific materials, then manufacturing goods, and then selling these goods.

So to summarize
-Selling raw resources
-Moving Cargo from A to B
-Mining —> Manufacturing —> Hauling Goods to buyer

Our other income methods will come from taxing independent runs that use our image, selling data we collect from exploring trade routes, selling legally acquired salvage and other smaller means.

Motivations

As our organisation grows, we want to help our members as much as possible. Anyone from a Mustang to a Merchantman. In the distant future, we plan to offer a program that will allow you to upgrade your ship immediately through RTAT, to perhaps a Hornet, HULL or Hurricane at the cost of a few jobs for us. Then you get to keep the ship at the end! How great is that! This means that we can help YOU upgrade to a worthwhile ship, and you can help us run a few jobs by, and hey, you’ll meet some awesome people on the way! This deal can also apply to weapons, internal components, cup holders etc.
(May or may not include complimentary/mandatory RTA colours paint job)

We want people to enjoy Star Citizen to its fullest potential, and we want to help these people recognise their furthest goals. We want to see YOU discover that new jump point, or that new life form on Asura. If we can help in any way, we’ll try!

Charter

AGE RESTRICTION

To be a member of RTA Trading, you must meet the minimum age of 16 years. This means if you were born before 2935, you cannot participate in our activities.

GENERAL RULES

At RTA Trading, we expect you to follow some very basic rules. These are to ensure the best experience for all members.

1. Don’t be a jerk
2. Don’t intentionally start drama.
3. Members must respect other members. A lack of trust can lead to serious issues down the line.
4. In the event of drama or hostility in game, Spectrum, Discord or anywhere else, report it to a higher member of staff immediately. Don’t take matters into your own hands.
5. No bullying, racism, sexism or any other forms of prejudice anywhere when you are representing RTAT or anywhere on our communication platforms.
6. Don’t advertise other communities, discord servers etc whilst in game or on our communication platforms.
7. Don’t ask to be promoted to a higher role. If there are openings, they will be advertised appropriately.
8. You cannot progress through the ranks of RTAT if you are an affiliate of our corporation. To start progressing, you must become a full member.
9. If you become an affiliate after being a main member, you will lose all progress you have achieved as an Employee, Team Leader or Division Head.
10. You may keep other organisations hidden or redacted, however Co-founders MUST know who these groups are. This is to avoid espionage from piracy groups.
11. Being affiliated with piracy groups is not allowed at RTAT. Your membership will be permanently terminated if you are affiliated at any point.
12. Conducting illicit activities under the RTAT name is strictly prohibited, and you will be heavily penalised for it. Multiple infractions are punishable by immediate expulsion from the corporation.

FLEET RULES AND GUIDELINES

Whenever you are ingame, remember that you are representing RTA Trading, regardless if you’re an Co-founder, Division Head, Team Leader, Employee or Affiliate.

1. If you are an employee or higher, it is essential you represent RTA by the use of the appropriate tags when they become available.
2. Always listen to your fleet leader.

DEFENDING THE FLEET

At RTA Trading, we want to minimize casualties and damages at all costs. To ensure this is done to the highest standard, we have compiled a “Rules of Engagement” section.

1. Only Engage Combatants
You are only to engage ships that are actively hostile towards you or your fellow ships. Acts of aggression with no reason are strictly prohibited and will be met with serious consequences.
2. Avoid civilian casualties
Targeting civilian ships is absolutely prohibited, and will be met with immediate expulsion from RTAT.
3. Respect Protective Symbols
When in a firefight, if you notice a Cutlass Red or any other medical ship, do NOT fire upon it. The enemy that are wounded or hurt have the right to medical care, regardless of their past actions.
4. Don’t chase fleeing ships
If a ship that has engaged you starts to run, let them. If they have chosen to flee, they are not in a position to fight.
5. Aim to wound, not to kill.
Your job as a escort pilot or turret gunner is to defend the fleet, not to mercilessly kill enemies. Aim to make their ships unusable in conflict by disabling their engines or weapons. They can pop a distress call instead of being brutally killed.
6. Use proportional response
Firing off a size 7 torpedo against an Aurora is very overkill, and also expensive. When engaging a target, aim to disable it with the least force required.
