History
History
Doing It Wrong did not begin with corporate sponsorship, UEE endorsements, or a carefully drafted business plan.
It began with a small group of independent pilots, prospectors, salvagers, and traders who learned—often in the middle of an operation—that the most valuable lessons in the ‘verse are rarely found by following the manual.
In its early days, the organisation operated as a loose network of freelancers, taking on salvage contracts others ignored, mining claims considered marginal at best, and trade routes that looked questionable on paper but somehow turned a profit. Mistakes were common. Lessons were costly. Ships were occasionally… mislaid.
Through these misadventures, a pattern emerged. By adapting to failure rather than avoiding it, Doing It Wrong developed a practical, experience-led approach to resource acquisition and industrial operations. What began as improvised cooperation slowly evolved into a dependable organisation specialising in salvaging, mining, trade logistics, and exploration.
Today, Doing It Wrong operates across multiple systems, supporting salvage fleets, mining expeditions, trade convoys, and exploratory ventures into less-charted space. Our methods may be unconventional, but they are effective. Our crews understand that flexibility, communication, and the ability to improvise under pressure are often more valuable than flawless plans.
In a universe built on risk and reward, Doing It Wrong endures by embracing both.
Manifesto
Manifesto
Doing It Wrong exists on the belief that progress is rarely made by playing it safe.
In a universe driven by profit margins, corporate doctrine, and rigid operational theory, we choose a different path—one shaped by experience, adaptability, and the understanding that failure is not the end of an operation, but part of it.
We believe in learning by doing, even when “doing” occasionally goes sideways. We accept that mistakes will happen, plans will change, and not every expedition will return with a clean ledger. What matters is that we adapt, support one another, and carry forward what we’ve learned.
Our focus is on salvaging, mining, trade, and exploration—the backbone of the ‘verse. We take pride in extracting value where others see only risk, turning forgotten wrecks into opportunity, and navigating trade routes that demand both preparation and improvisation. Exploration, for us, is not about glory, but about understanding what lies beyond the obvious.
We operate as a cooperative organisation built on trust, communication, and mutual respect. Rank exists to provide structure, not authority for its own sake. Every member’s contribution matters, whether they are charting new territory, hauling cargo, processing resources, or holding a salvage operation together under pressure.
We do not promise perfection. We promise persistence.
By embracing uncertainty, adapting to chaos, and supporting one another through success and failure alike, Doing It Wrong continues to thrive—proving that sometimes, the wrong way forward is exactly the right one.
Charter
Charter
The following charter defines the principles and conduct expected of all members of Doing It Wrong. These guidelines exist not to restrict creativity, but to ensure our operations remain lawful, cooperative, and sustainable within the ‘verse.
Lawful Operations
Doing It Wrong is a lawful organisation. We do not engage in piracy, griefing, extortion, or deliberately hostile actions against lawful players. Our activities focus on salvaging, mining, trade, and exploration conducted within the bounds of recognised systems and contracts. Defensive action is permitted when necessary, but aggression for profit is not our way.
Community First
We are a community before we are an organisation. Members are expected to treat one another—and others in the ‘verse—with respect, patience, and fairness. Harassment, discrimination, or behaviour that undermines the community will not be tolerated. We succeed by working together, not by tearing others down.
Cooperation and Support
Operations are built on communication and teamwork. Members are encouraged to assist one another, share knowledge, and contribute where they are able. No one is expected to know everything, and no one is left behind due to inexperience. Learning together is part of the journey.
Responsibility and Accountability
While mistakes are expected—and even embraced—members are responsible for their actions. Reckless behaviour that endangers operations, assets, or fellow members without consideration will be addressed. Doing It Wrong does not mean acting without thought; it means adapting when things go wrong.
Structure with Purpose
Ranks exist to provide clarity and coordination, not ego. Leadership roles are intended to guide operations, support members, and maintain the health of the organisation. Respect flows both ways, and leadership is expected to lead by example.
Representation in the ‘Verse
Members represent Doing It Wrong whenever they operate under its banner. Conduct in public spaces, missions, and interactions should reflect positively on the organisation. Our reputation is built over time through reliability, professionalism, and consistency.
By joining Doing It Wrong, members agree to uphold this charter and contribute to a lawful, welcoming, and resilient organisation—one that proves you can do things differently, and still do them well.
