Vintage

Vintage is a company aimed towards the more mature gamer. While the young endos scream around the star system, shooting anything that moves, we take a more relaxed and considered approach. Vintage aims to specialise in resource gathering (mining), infrastructure (station creation), manufacturing (factories) and star ship design. Vintage is destined to become a wealthy member of the galactic economy and as such we can expect to attract unwanted interest from 3rd parties. We therefore require a combat facing branch of the company for defence and joint military efforts with our allies.

Requirements

While aimed at older players, there is no lower age limit. Anyone can join, but those manufactured after 2000 or the especially young of heart and mind might be better suited elsewhere.

The only pre-requisite is access to the game, so currently this is limited to Alpha players.

Expectation of members

Vintage is a relaxed company. There are no expectations on members to do anything beyond be civil towards one another and others. There is no requirement to help with company projects. Solo projects are encouraged. Do your own thing, Vintage is here for you, to offer advice and cheer you on!

However, we are a non-aggressive Company by default, so acts of piracy by our members will not be tolerated. Combat should be limited to self defence, organised events, or pre-approved Company military action.

Ships

A number of Vintage members are keen ship designers, and have already created many popular ships. While still desperately trying to arrange a ship-shop of their own to house them, many ships are already available in the various rando shops:

Stations

The Vintage crew are busy testing station building in Alpha, and are doing so with the construction of "Vantage 3.0" station. So named because it once had great views from its location above the asteroid ring, but since that time the ring has enveloped the station in an eerie fog. It is the 3rd attempt to build this station, as the previous two ill-fated attempts suffered technical issues.

Vintage use a custom built 3D printing ship to print the parts needed for the station, and many members have been mining and contributed resources to make this project a success. So far it has two completed sections, and work on the third is well underway.

It is expected this station will be lost at the end of the Alpha period, but nonetheless, Vintage are keen to see how far they can get with it before that happens.
