Industrial Complex Up and Running

After a failed attempt a week ago, The Confederacy of Travellers was successful in setting up a Raitaru in our home system. Affectionately named "Bob the Builder" it will be the hub for industry and scientific endeavors for our pilots. At this time invention and construction are available in BoB and research will be coming shortly as we transfer the module from Crows Nest to BoB. 

Please be aware that we are discontinuing manufacturing and research in Crow's Nest as of Saturday, March 19th. This means any jobs that are scheduled to end after that time period will be aborted early as we remove the modules from from Crow's Nest. We will be installing a processing module in Crow's Nest for compression and processing ores and ice. This will be a basic processing module as the structure does not supply any bonuses and no rigs will be installed to enhance the module. 

We still plan on adding a refinery in the wormhole as well, which will not only provide bonuses for processing, but will also provide gas refinery as well. Moon mining may also be activated, but our main concern is processing as the refinery offers bonuses for ore, ice and gas processing. There is no set timeline for the installation of the refinery, but we hope to have it in place before the beginning of Q3

The corporation would like to thank everyone who showed up to support the installation of BoB. We had 8 pilots in the area to support our efforts, and luckily their defense were not needed. While this show of force was welcomed, it also emphasize the need for more active corp pilots. The Confederacy is listed as having 153 pilots enrolled, yet we only managed to have 8 show up during a crucial event. That is a 5% participation rate, which would be disastrous in a more active and combative situation. 

So our next project will be to actively recruit new and experienced pilots. We will also introduce incentive programs to get everyone involved in the recruiting process and hopefully everyone will have a chance to add to our roster. After all, an active corp is a safe and productive corp. More details to follow.
