Signal Cartel Credo

The most important defining characteristic of our corp and alliance is our Credo. It is the foundation of our culture and drives our behavior and activities:

Signal Cartel is a service corporation to all of New Eden. In this role, members are encouraged to treat all players with respect regardless of affiliation. In challenging situations, our goal is to look for a graceful resolution and set an example of dignity and friendship through our actions.

We embrace the attitude of a true explorer: we are friendly to others in our travels, neutral and never initiating aggression, and endeavoring at all times be perceived by the New Eden community as a non-threat. Although we never intentionally seek to harm, we may defend our friends and our ships. In suffering losses, we respond with good cheer and shed no tears. In this way, we aim to be recognized and respected by all across the cluster and left in peace to do our work.

Among our own ranks and with others, we are patient and generous with knowledge, ideas, and experiences. We foster a mentoring culture by answering questions, freely sharing experiences and learning resources, and when possible offering rookies one-on-one tutoring.

Living the Credo

In endeavoring to uphold the Credo, it is important to understand that specific actions in the game are not aligned with it. All characters in the alliance represent Signal Cartel and what it stands for, while in New Eden or on related forums or media. Certain activities in the game, while legitimate gameplay for others, are not considered acceptable for pilots in our alliance. This includes:

• Piracy, baiting, or scamming
• Initiating aggression on other players’ ships or deployed structures
• Podding
• Dueling with anyone outside of Signal Cartel
• Sovereignty interference
• Participating in NPSI fleets
• Aggressive actions in support of PvP fleets including boosts, cynos, bumping, or target intel
• Use of mobile siphons
• Corp or other theft
• Placing bounties

Note: Ships, wrecks and drones abandoned in space are considered salvage and may be harvested. Abandoned ships may not be destroyed.

Signal Cartel members are expected to know and embrace the Credo such that it informs all of our actions. In fact, all members agreed to adhere to the Credo as a condition of joining Signal Cartel. It is our goal to be good ambassadors for our corp and its culture both in-game and in the wider EVE Online community beyond the game. Leadership invites discussion, complaints, what-if scenarios, questions, and suggestions about the Credo in our 🗪credo-culture-discussions Discord forum channel. Over time, the Credo may evolve and when it does, we will update this page as necessary and announce the changes to membership in a corp EVEemail.

Please see the Credo FAQ for more information.
