-
Experience with at least 1 other player run corporation, or in our feeder Corp (NewBroCoached Corps [NBC Corps])

-
All corps are required to provide a corp ESI token. (We’ll instruct you how to, if needed)
-
Unrented systems in our area of operations may be used by current renters as overflow, however renters must check (INSERT A SPREAD SHEET OR WEBSITE SHOWING THIS DATA) daily to make sure nothing has been rented while they were afk or asleep :)
-
Rules surrounding 10/10s and special eve events.
(WOMP\GC\ SC) Corps are fine to move across regional lines.
However renters/non-esi corps are not: This means If you are in (INSERT FEEDER CORP NAME HERE) you can no longer run 10/10s in XXX space. If you are in any Alliance/Corp alt you need to put your 10/10 runners back in your main corp. RECAS members can run 10/10s in RECAS space only or (cache at your own risk) or any non-blue space.
If you get an escalation to (INSERT OFF LIMITS SPACE) space, you are free to sell it on the (INSERT COALITION MARKET NAME) market to them. -
Special events are anything temporarily added by ccp for a short term. You can run them in any non private rented system or systems you may not go take them from people who pay to use that system privately. Period end of story!! Or run events in allied space.
-
NON-NC blue space and RECAS
Do your best to restrict yourself to transitional activity only.
Fly through, visit the market and back. - OK
Please don’t sit in the systems, don’t afk in the systems, don’t sit in the docks without strong reason.
Thank you!
-
All (ENTER MOON NAMES HERE) moons are rented out individually (some are reserved for RECAS MAINS only).
All mining structures on these moons are deployed and owned by ( RECAS )
Reach out to Rental managers for up-to-date information. -
Moons rented in CLOUD RING/SYNDICATE MUST be on at least 2 weeks cycle or longer to avoid disturbing renters more than it is needed (if you’re not the renter of the same very system the moon is in) It is generally a good idea to have (ENTER MOON NAMES) moons in ANY regions on a two week cycle
-
ESS RULES for RECAS owned sov
There are 2 different levels of ESS so you need to see what level you are looking at.
-
Main Bank
-
The Main Bank is available for every system and if someone does PVE inside said system a part (%) is taken away from the PVE tick and then added to the wallet of the Main Bank ESS. The Main Bank Wallet is automatically shared every two and a ¾ hours.
-
-
Reserve Bank
-
The Reserve Bank is also available in every system and a part (%) is taken from the PVE tick into that wallet. This wallet is locked and not automatically shared.
-
To open the Reserve Bank a specific key is needed. After opening the Reserve Bank of a system the wallet can be drained for a specific amount of time
-
-
You are NOT allowed to go into ESS in allied sov.
-
You are NOT allowed to go around and drain the wallet of a systems Main Bank in Cloud Ring.
-
You are NOT allowed to go into ESS in Cloud Ring when you are part of the Cloud Ring Rental and you are NOT allowed to go into ESS in Cloud Ring when you are part of the The Cloud RIng rental.

Following structures are deployed ONLY by RECAS Main alliance: Keepstar, Fortizar, Sotiyo,Tatara
-
Astrahus can be deployed by (or transferred to) your corporation after a proper deposit is paid.
-
Small structures are considered to be throwaways as (thanks CCP) protecting them is a pointless task.
-
-
Step-by-step on how to get your structure deployed by RECAS (in case of large structures or high strategic level in the system)
-
Post a request in the RECAS Discord in Leadership\requests channel and tag
-
- The corp and its leadership reserve the right to remove anyone from the corp if crimes are committed agested its members or allies or not follow any guidelines set out.
- NPIS fleets are allowed but not in allied or blue space so keep this in mind if you shoot a blue you can be asked to SRP (Ship Replacement Program).
- 4 FAPs per month in PVP or Industry fleets is what we ask for here. FAPs are recorded each month and sent out to XXX members at middle and end of the month.
Lastly, we want you to do what you like most, but we do have to put up some rules, after some past experiences:
- the usual "don't be a dick" applies here and everywhere else
- scamming is ok, as long as you dont scam a blue
- the corp chat is not for advertising and there will be no advertisements for your hypernets
- New corporations joining the alliance are on a 3 month probation and in this time DO NOT pay tax.
Moon Mining Rules:
Mining Lasers with Crystals are not permitted to be used on R64 or R32 Moons.
Please use either ORE Strip Lasers or Strip Miner 1's.
This maximizes the yield of the moon. Mining Lasers with Crystals are permitted to be used on R16 and below moons.
Reprocessing Percentages are based on the rating of the moon and are charged by the structure the ore is mined on and / or If you decide to move the ore to a better rigged structure you must pay the tax rate to Salt Mine Industries using the wallet reason "Tax for (System and Moon Name) (Percentage)" eg : "Tax for C4C 1-1 35%"
Alliance Moons Tax Rates :
100% to the Alliance Wallet SRP etc, everything else is taxed at 20% for r64 + Zircon, 15% for r32 and 10% else like R16 R8 Moons.
This allows you to maximize your profit from your mining laborers. Ask Corp mates with skills to refine -> Pay them the tax Isk -> Profit These rules and percentages can change at any time. Please keep up to date on this pinned message.
XXX Alliance SRP (Ship Replacement Program):
Alliance SRP is offered but only for Strat Ops and CTA’s and signed off by the Lead FC at the time. To submit SRP (Ship Replacement Program) Go to (INSERT AUTH SITE PAGE FORUM FOR THIS) Due to the amount of SRP it can take up to 30 days max.
Alliance/Corpration Upwells ( Stations):
The Policy on Corp owned stations is not permitted at this time due to alliance logistical set up and right now alliance has what it needs, but this is subject to change in time. Only Alliance stations are to be placed for now. Also any corporations under 3 month probations are not to set stations down. Only exception is currently owned and operated station set prior to joining the alliance or coalition.
Alliance Rental Programs:
XXX. Will have a rental program for moons that can be corp owned but alliance will hold but will be made private to that corporation at that time. R64 and R32 moons will be alliance moons only and will not be rented out at this point.
XXX does have a Moon Rental Program if a corporation is looking to rent a moon then speak with Captain Vale on this as details may change.
Step Four.
