Thanks to generous members as well as corp-funded programs, Signal Cartel has a nice selection of exploration-related ships and other items available to all Signaleers. Much of it is geared toward new players and all of it is provided free of cost. So please take advantage of these offerings to help the corp!

It might sound weird to say you should take in order to help the corp. However, if you're a new player, becoming financially self-sufficient will provide you with a sense of achievement and allow you to explore fearlessly because you'll know you can replace the ships and equipment you'll inevitably lose. This leads to confidence and expertise, and THAT is what you can pass down to new members who will join after you. The free exploration ships and other resources provided by the corp can help you get there. USE THEM -- that's what they are there for! (Adapted from here)

There are two main ways of accessing these items:

• Corporation Contracts
  • Available to all members, even our newest
• Corporation Hangars
  • Requires a C2 member title

Locations

Corporate contracts and hangars are only available at the following stations:

Signal Cartel Corporate Offices
Gelhan V - Moon 10 - DED Logistic Support
Saisio VIII - Moon 4 - Perkone Factory
Thera XII - The Sanctuary Institute of Paleocybernetics
Turnur III - Moon 17 - Boundless Creation Factory
Zoohen III - Theology Council Tribunal

Guidelines for Use

• Members, especially new players, are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these offerings to help them cut costs and remain active in space without fear of losses. Any member who has need is welcome to use these resources.
• Please take only one free ship at a time. When you lose a ship, don't hesitate to replace it with a free one. Be advised that repeatedly taking multiple free items at a time or taking multiple free items over a period of time without corresponding losses on the killboard (yes, we audit this) is considered stealing and can get you kicked and banned from the corp.
• If our Thera station is camped, do not continue to take free ships and get them repeatedly blown up by unclever undocking. Instead, consult with the brain trust in Alliance chat to learn more about your options in this scenario.
• If something is "out of stock", poke the appropriate Station Quartermaster.

Corporation Contracts

How to Use

1. Open Neocom Menu → Finance → Contracts to launch the "Contracts" window
2. Select the "Start Page" tab on the upper left and then click the link for "...contracts assigned to your corporation - Auction and Item Exchange..."
3. The "Contract Search" screen will appear.
4. Browse the list of available contracts and/or refine your search using the options on the left to find what you want.
5. Double-click the contract to see its details (please pay attention to the location of the item!)
6. Click the Accept button.

Important Notes:

• The game has a bug in how the corporation contracts are sorted and displayed on the "Contract Search" screen. So if your contract search has multiple pages, always check the subsequent pages for your item. Please read this forum post for more information.
• If there are multiple contracts for the same item, please accept the contract with the shortest amount of "Time Left". Our Quartermasters greatly appreciate it because it reduces their workload in having to create the contract again after it expires. :)

The following should always be available on corporate contracts:

• Shuttles (any combination of racial variants)

Corporation Hangars

Corp hangars are maintained by our dedicated team of Station Quartermasters. Please reach out to the appropriate Quartermaster with any questions or concerns.

Shared Stuff	C2’s can access. This is the place where you can pick up the stuff you may need including ships! C2’s are able to take most items, while other items are viewable but locked. For locked items, please contact the Station Quartermaster (QM). You’ll also see other containers to help the QM organize our stuff. Lastly, if you wish to donate supplies to the corp - you’ll see a container called *Donations* so feel free to drop items in there. Fitted ships can be dropped directly into the Shared Stuff hangar.
Reserved	No access. Formerly known as Doctrine Ships. Currently reserved for future use.
QM Inventory	C2’s can view. Used by the Station Quartermaster (QM) to organize, assemble, and stage inventory. If you see something you need here, feel free to ask.
