Deterrence [DTR]

[Undertone]

Too long, didn't read NPOV Statement:

- We are relative newcomers to Freelancer Discovery (we started at the end of September 2021).
- While we are often called the new corsair group, we do not exclusively operate as only that. We have ventures across Sirius.
- Why do you have such requirements for people to join? - Because we value team work and cooperation above all.
- Isn't 50 million too much? - That's one basic trade run or 20 minutes of your time.
- Do you help newcomers or solo returning veterans? - Very much so.
- Can I be in your group and not shoot at stuff? - Yes, we can find a role for you that's not military.

For the longer version, read below.

You want a solid crew that will fight with you and for you? You've come to the right place.

What we are:

Deterrence is a quasi-military organization bent on spreading around Sirius and achieving our goals and ambitions. To that end, we have a trading operation focused on securing our financial stability and continued funding of our other projects. If trading is the name of your game, we've got you covered. We have mining operations in multiple key-locations and we run regular trading convoys in different areas.

''Okay, but what about military?'' We got you covered there too - we have our fleet of military ships bent on burning, raiding and pillaging. Piracy, domination, shooting the bad guys, we got checkmarks on all these boxes. You want fire and blood - we say how scorched you want your earth to be?

''That's all good Ravenna - but what about smuggling, what about the finer things in life?'' Well, you've got to become a member first and we'll find the right place for your skills. We are always open to ideas and always open to expanding in different ventures. Diversification and compound interest - the two wonders of life.

What we aren't:

A highly rigid structure that demands RP and for you to be active non-stop. Our crew is comprised of different individuals and most of us have active and busy RL experiences as adults. Our members can commit as much time as they need to the game and real life always takes precedence. Our members can also be quite autonomous and have personal freedom to go about their business so long as they commit to the main goal of the group in some fashion.

How do I join?

''Okay Ravenna, you are talking the good talk but how do I join this group of yours?''

To get access to our group you need to have discord (duh). Our coordination is mostly done there.

Add Undertone#9521 / MechaCheff#3908 / Drummernaught#0991 (any of the aforementioned will do) and introduce yourself with your name and ship for starters.

You need to complete the following checkmarks:
1) ) At least 3 activities with a core member of the group. We are generally very flexible on these but you need to be doing some activities with us before you become officially part of the group. Examples:

- Doing PvE missions against hostile NPCs.
- Trading runs from start to finish.
- Smuggling.
- Mining for multiple people in key locations.
- Raiding or participating in our weekly group sessions.
- Helping us in an active battle, start to end.

2) Committed at least 50 million to our bank. In our group, we help each other and we fund each other. Speak to a core member on how to do that and what's the name of the ship.

3) Preferable but not mandatory - committed at least 1 ship to our fleet and have at least 1 military mission with it. You can get more instructions from a core member.

4) Have a core member of our group vouch for you.

Once you join, we'll let you in the main part of our group and you'll have access to more opportunities and our crew.

Who do we want:

We value loyalty above all. You can be a terrible trader, your aim can be absolutely horrendous - we don't care. We can teach you or help you or finance you. But you need to be sticking with our crew. You obviously can be part of other groups but we expect you to have at least minimal involvement in our goals.
