Editing Orientation Guide - First Month

{{Orientation Guide|all}}
The last section of the Orientation Guide provides useful information about Signal Cartel and also lists a number of activities, services, and tools that new pilots can utilize during their first month in the corporation ''and beyond''.

We realize this is a lot to take in, so take your time, enjoy yourself, and note that there are no mandates upon your activities other than to be an active member of our corp.  If you set some goals and fly safe (or dangerous), you'll eventually carve out your own niche within Signal Cartel.       

As you will see, Signal Cartel provides a friendly, nurturing home that includes great benefits and opportunities for learning, fun, and profit.  Let's get this section started and finish strong!   

== How Can I Get Involved In Corp Activities? ==
{{:Corp_Activities}}

== Services Available to Corp Members ==
EVE is hard. Playing EVE alone is even harder. In Signal Cartel, in addition to helpful discourse, the corp offers a range of services to aid all our members.  Please take advantage of these opportunities - it's why they're offered!

== Useful Corp Tools ==
Signal Cartel uses various out-of-game tools and programs to assist in our exploration efforts. Utilizing some or all of these tools will help make the game more enjoyable by increasing your situational awareness, productivity, and ability to serve New Eden.

== AFK Thread ==
You just joined, so why go AFK?  Real life happens though, so if you plan to be away from the game for less than 60 days please let us know by making a post in the <code>🗪hello-farewell-afk</code> Discord forum channel.  Be sure to use the "AFK" tag when you post. It's not necessary but is nice and will keep us from wondering what happened to you!

== Signal Cartel Swag Store ==
The [[Signal_Cartel_Swag_Store | Signal Cartel Swag Store]] has a twofold purpose: to distribute ''awesome merchandise'' to our ''awesome members'' and to help us cover the real-life overhead for all our ''awesome services''. While infrastructure costs are not incredibly high, management appreciates any and all help; after all, ISK won't pay for everything! To this end, please note that all store profits will be used to support corp services.  Represent your new corp in style and help us keep the RL lights on!

== Conclusion ==
Whew!  You made it!  Congratulations!  We hope the '''Signal Cartel New Member Orientation Guide''' has been helpful to you.  Now the real adventure begins.  If you haven't already, undock that ship and start exploring the wonders of New Eden.  o7
