0. New Pilots Initiative - The Rules
New Pilots Initiative - The RulesThis is the first of the documents just because it's important to understand what kind of player group this is. Please note that we do enforce these rules on all our platforms, both in game, on discord, facebook, etc. The remainder of the documents we have here are just some of our array of guides which we make publicly available. Please feel free to use and share these as you see fit.
1. Don't be a jerk - ultimately this is a game and we're all here to have fun. Personal insults, doxing, bullying, racism (including the use of racial slurs) will not be tolerated.
2. Don't use this group to hunt new players - hopefully this is obvious, we are here primarily to help new members of the Elite Dangerous universe. Hunting down and killing those who we are here to help will ruin the reputation of this group.
3. No non-consensual PvP on fellow squadron members - for pretty much the same reason as for Rule 2, NEWP squadron members should not expect to be attacked by squadron mates. We do however encourage members who are interested to practice consensual PvP with others in the squadron.
4. No cheating - that means no using hacking software or bots, it also includes COMBAT LOGGING (exiting the game mid-fight, even via exiting to the menu). This is against the rules here and in many other groups. We will gladly help you learn how to survive a fight either by winning or escaping.
5. Direct messaging turned on in the discord server, and no blocking mentors or leadership - We need to have a clear route to communicate to everyone we have on the server. If one of our staff contacts you, please reply, we'll only be asking things we need to know.
6. No sharing inappropriate material - Sharing pornographic images, or any other material which the staff deem inappropriate will not be permitted. If you aren't sure if something will be allowed, ask, we'll make judgements as required.
Finally, note that this is a neutral group. You will meet players of all types here, everything from solo-only explorers to notorious gankers. Please respect and learn from each other rather than being critical of how others choose to play this amazing game.
