RVN-24 – “now sir?”
RVN-24- “We’ve fueled up the merchantman. and the capital ships are standing by sir.”
RVN-24 – “In time sir….right now I must focus on getting the Retalitation fleet online….forwarding ship engineering plans to HISS.”
RVN-24- “Understood. Once the package is secured, will you be meeting us at the jump?”
RVN-24 – “Sir…..do we really need that kind of firepower for this mission?”
RVN-24 – “Roger that actual, I’ll see you on the field.”
Our members are all considered EQUALS. We are gamers first. We abide by a few core rules and the rest are covered by our Code of Conduct:
First and foremost our members follow and respect the EULA of Star Citizen and Squadron 42. That license agreement is our paramount rule.
Our other main rule is that we are all FREE MEN. To speak how we feel, to believe or to not believe, to have an opinion, and to be able to speak freely. We are not censors here, we are adults. We do not condone disrespect, but we also feel that some perceive and define disrespect differently. We do not condone ANY violent, criminal, derogatory, pornographic or graphic descriptive speech or actions within our organization. We also do not tolerate dishonesty. Our rules are simple. ACT LIKE AN ADULT. HAVE FUN, DON’T DISRESPECT THE TEAM.
We are not about dominating the galaxy through numbers. We will dominate through our network of operatives and mature gamers.
We encourage everyone to get the Discord VOIP software as we communicate in games solely with DISCORD. It’s free and easy to set up.
We aren’t concerned over petty ORG or MERC squabbles. Other guilds are GUILDS. We are a gaming company and our members are worth something.
We are more fun than competitive. Yes our gaming skills put us on the Top lists of every game we play. And we’re comfortable with that.
We are veteran founded and operated. But not structured. We don’t believe in yelling or barking orders at our members. We are PROFESSIONALS first. Quiet Professionals by nature….some by profession. Although there are guilds that use military SOP’s and such to guide their members, we feel the best SOP is a Code of Conduct. Allowing you to be the gamer that YOU want to be.
UNITS
Our members can form their own units within HARD. Complete with branding, merch, website and forums. We will make you an officer if you are an existing guild leader, you can lead your unit within our corporation.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership in HARD Corp. gives you added benefits. Some of our members have worked on games. We will help you with development knowledge if you are looking to get into the game development industry. Our website allows you to sign up multiple characters, on just about every game that you play. Your membership in our Star Citizen fleet, is very special, in that we are creating a small studio to create an even better Star Citizen experience. Including webisode broadcasts, twitch podcasts, and member run events. Membership is free and open to ALL Star Citizen players that are 18+ and mature on comms.
RANKS
Our rank structure is semi-secret. We run our organization on a very rare premise today……TRUST. Every member is their own gamer, they have equal rights in the entire organization. We’re not here to tell you how to play a video game. We hope you have that figured out already.
We have RANKS for achievements and for role playing purposes. We also have HARD Corp. ranks for administrative and website maintenance. We are structured as an Order. Ranks within orders, especially Knighthoods, are Sovereign in nature and are not published. Our rank structure allows you to move up in rank with efforts in game and/or by the creative content produced by our members. We promote only those that have been observed to be trustworthy of our Tags, Name, and Brand. Our Knighthood is Secret. If you’re not in HARD….you don’t know us…
OUR FLEET
We have capital ships. Need more info? Every one of our officers is a Rear Admiral or higher. We are not looking to amass the largest fleet. We will augment other large units for raiding ops or big runs through pirate space upon contract….which is why we have capital ships. (NOTE: Our membership numbers on here are NOT indicative of our fleet…..we’d rather not let everyone know who or what we have right now. But with 12 members that were asked to found HARD on Star Citizen we have more than 55 ships among the founding 12 and most of em are really big.)
*We have room for ANYONE AND EVERYONE. We have a corporate structure backing our unit, some of our members have actual real-world PMC experience and will be directing operations in a similar manner. We will be expanding all of our current operations as we gain more members. Here are our primary fleet units thus far:
“Delta Raven” Special Space Ops – Combat and Assault Operations
“M.A.X.” Mechanized Assault exploration – Exploration Ops
“Crimson Shields” Security Defense Ops – Security Wing for Escort Contracts
“HISS” HARD Industries and Space Shipping -Transportation Wing
“The 33rd” Diplomatic Assembly – Secret Political Organization
“H Regulars” Contracting and Liaison Office – Freelancer guild
Our complete charter and operations are found at our website which is again under construction:
