PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating the more mundane tasks, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics of a technical solution hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom discord bots. Those include Central Mind, moderation and management tools, as well as a virtual currency; Collective Chips. CC Can be used to trade services or hoard for status and memes.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:
* Moonshot - Hatman's ship as the first player on a moon.
* Nightblade - A fighter so heavily armed that a later patch increased weapon cost.
* Gladiator - Heavy fighter built to win the first Boltcracker tournament.

=== ISAN ===
[[ISAN]] is a navigation system for ships, made with [[YOLOL]]. Collective released [[ISAN]] to the public, so anyone can install it on their ship.

=== Starmap ===
The coordinates from [[ISAN]] can be used alongside the [http://isan.to Starmap at isan.to].

== Structure ==
The Collective subroutines can join one or multiple specialized departments, forming nodes in the subnet. These are are lead by the most skilled and dedicated members, called Cores. The following subnets exist:

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
The branch focused on diplomacy, roleplay and recruitment. Tasks include participation on diplomatic missions, drafting agreements between factions, managing alliances, recruiting new members, improving the Collective community and maintaining the lore.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Collective's military branch, also known as Tactical, with multitude of duties, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. S.W.A.R.M. stands for Space Warfare and Advanced Response Module. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Research & Development, also known as Design and Development, has everything from YOLOL development, ship design, drone engineering to art or propaganda. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Economy, construction and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal. It is through our works that the Collective’s greatness is made manifest, it is through our Order and Discipline that we can offer a timely turnaround of production. Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''
 

== Lore ==
[[File:Starbase Collective Central Mind v3 21.png|128px|thumb|Collective Central Mind]]
* Subroutine - ''“A sequence of program instructions that performs a specific task, packaged as a unit.”'' The common term for any member of Collective.
* Central Mind - The combined minds of all subroutines (members) make up a form of collective consciousness referred to as '''Central Mind'''. This entity is the "personification" of Collective's will and goals. (Outside role-play, Central Mind is a custom Discord bot for managing the faction discord)
* Integration - The process of becoming one with Central Mind. Not compatible with any unwilling AI.
* Disintegration - The destruction of enemies of Collective. Central Mind is generally neutral towards anyone not clearly hostile.
* "We are one" - Collective's slogan. Summarizes both hivemind theme as well as the focus on coordinated cooperation to achieve great goals.

BenCo is an engineer/researcher in the [[DynaStar|DynaStar corporation's]] R&D department.

He is also Australian, which means he is highly experienced in spider handling and kangaroo boxing. He says the best trick for kangaroo boxing is to make sure you both use boxing gloves, that way you don't get hurt plus you have the added benefit of not violating federal animal rights legislation.

BenCo also does stuff outside of StarBase, especially since at the time of writing this article, the game had not released yet. He creates, runs and maintains a discord bot called "AutoRole", which seeks to smoothly automate the process of allocating roles to users based on which games they are/aren't playing. You can find it [https://top.gg/bot/591955603308675073 here].

BenCo is also the Lead Frontend Developer on the StarBase Atlas Project, which seeks to develop a fully interactive and dynamic mapping service online for starbase. You can find out more by joining the Atlas Discord [https://discord.gg/STY58JK here].
