History

In the beginning of space exploration before we left earth, there were a group of individuals that needed their next thrill. Space was the Final Frontier. They used their wealth to fund an Organization called Roberts Space Industry. This was difficult to achieve with all the civil unrest and political corruption but they were able to keep this completely privatized and free from interference. The blood, sweat and tears of the workers who built what we have will forever be honored by never exhausting our effort to find a better place for their children to settle. A Peaceful place.

Roberts Space Industry was tasked with the understanding of navigation, structure of vessels, crew qualification, fighting tactics for both in space and on new planets and the dynamics of hyperspace transportation. They have finally developed enough technology to survive out in the vast depths of space.

We were created as the Pre-Touring Scouts. Our objective is to explore and scout ahead so that our investors have a clear and free path to the new frontiers of life. We will seek out and make contact with new civilizations, gather intel for mining resources, report hostile zones for PMC organizations and determine the best and safest places for the Investors. This is our task as a whole. Each Lieutenant Commander will be able to have the freedom and flexibility to achieve this in their own way. As long as they do not stray from the task at hand.

At the very Top of our command we have the Investors.. We do not know much about who they are, where they are or what they do. All this is irrelevant because without them we would not be here. They will remain Anonymous.

Next we have RSI, they will be working on developing new technology for all to use.

As we have grown we have been able to Research and Develop Different ways to contribute to the Verse that we call home. We are First Class Federation. We have many Opportunities that you may choose from, the Choice is Yours.

Manifesto

OFFICIAL CODE OF CONDUCT
RESPECT THE GAMERS

Maintain a standard of respect among its members and other gamers. We respect the opinions of ALL OUR MEMBERS as well as those of other GAMERS. If someone gets offended by your words or actions, you need to stop the conversation or change the subject immediately. FAILURE to do so is breach of our “RESPECT” policy.
The Philosophy of Gaming is that “This is a Game and is meant to be FUN” These are real people you are gaming with. They deserve the same RESPECT that you expect from them.

RESPECT THE GAME

You need to respect the game. We do not allow any modding, boosting or cheats of any kind. AGAIN THIS IS JUST A GAME, IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT RUNNING UP THE KILL COUNT and it is no fun for those who do not cheat to get beaten by cheaters.

If you must play using any mods, then do so in a private match with other people that want to do the same. ONLY IF EVERYONE KNOWS AND AGREES TO DO SO.

TRASH TALKING AND RAGE QUITTING

Don’t be stupid this is part of respect. If you are being trash talked you can of course defend yourself. Just don’t go too far and remember you are arguing with an idiot online, what you are going to do… Caps lock him to death? You can always mute the player/players that you do not agree with. Back out of the lobby once the match is over and get on with enjoying your gaming time.

DO NOT BACK OUT OF GAMES IN PROGRESS. Show you are an adult, take your lumps (FYI the other team is not always cheating or camping, sometimes they are just better.) back out once the match is over and move on to another lobby.

LEAVING

Of course we don’t want to see anyone leave our community, but if you do feel it is time to leave, just let the Flight Chief know that you are doing so. To be honest whatever reason you have for leaving is fine. Life is more important and this is just a game. If you simply tell your Flight Chief you are leaving, you will be put on the “good terms” list. You will be welcome to come back anytime.

Yes we do have a “BAD TERMS” list as well. Our goal is for that list to be empty, but quite simply if you are a jerk and you disrespect other members or gamers, you will make that list. The other quick way to make the BAD TERMS list is to join another Rival clan/community on the same platform and game while still being a member in and benefiting by divulging tactics to benefit in another clan. You will be removed for that. If you leave first and join another Clan, that is your choice and you will still be on GOOD TERMS.

POACHING:

We do not approach other clans or communities and try and take their members. If they ask about , tell them about us. If they choose to join without you asking them, then by all means they can do so.

That’s it for the code of conduct. It is simple, don’t be a JERK, and have some fun!

*Setting up Teams on the roster and setting up Teams in game are 2 different things. Setting up a Team in game is formed of the members online at the time. The Team set up on the Roster is for member to know their Chain of Command. That way you know who to go to when you have questions. We need to be utilizing the Chain of Command. When we start to Form Battalions each member will need to know where to go. I would like it to have the members who play with each other in the same Company so that when it comes to promotions we can ask their Chain of Command if they are ready to be promoted. When we go thru promotions for the enlisted everyone that is above Flight CO’s has the option to put their opinion on Promotions. When an Officer is ready to be promoted everyone above the one being promoted and the MCPO will discuss the promotion and if they are ready to handle the responsibility of said promotion. For promotion of Captain-Generals the Board will ask the opinions of the members that want their opinion heard and take that in consideration for the promotion.
Any Member that shows exceptional merits could qualify for a Meritorious Promotion or Assignment. If you download or copy it there is a chance that you will then have a Outdated version of the contents.

We will explore beyond your dreams. Our goal is simple; We will know all the known Universe and we will strive to explore the new systems to bring the information back to civilization.
