This is just an example of one of the ways we as a group plan on making a living among the stars. If you have an idea for an alternative way we can work together and make a little income please contact us directly through the member’s forums.

MINING:

In star citizen there are many different career paths to choose from to make in game currency. Mining is one possible way to make a decent amount of money. Since the logistics behind a major mining operation isn't as simple as you might think, I believe it would be a great place for us to tackle and see how we all work as a group. There are some different things we need in order to cut the middleman out and make as much profit as possible per operation. These include 

MILITARY ESCORT: Our mining ships are primary targets for pirates in the area who want easy profit

MINING VESSEL: the mining ship itself is a multi-crew responsibility. The best case scenario would be to have enough of us to fully crew a ship without an npc needing to be hired.

THE CARGO SHIPS: while the mining vessel in itself is capable of holding a prodigious amount of raw ore cargo it is much more efficient if it remains mining and not being interrupted by having to ferry its own goods. To this end, I hope to have a few cargo ships capable of taking the raw goods from the mining ships and making deliveries back and forth. This also helps mitigate risk by breaking up our mining progress into smaller packages making a less juicy target for pirates and in a worst case scenario much less loss in the case of cargo seizure.

LOGISTICS: in space there are a myriad of different logistical needs such as locating asteroid belts to begin mining operations, members finding locations of high need and low supply of a particular good we possess, and refueling ships to keep the process going.

All of these require different skill sets and levels of responsibility. The larger our fleet the more attention we draw as a result. It stands to reason that it would be in our best interest to operate in stages. 

Being a United States marine I like the acronym B.A.M.C.I.S.

B) BEGIN PLANNING

A) ARRANGE RECON

M) MAKE RECON

C) COMPLETE THE PLAN

I) ISSUE ORDERS

S) SUPERVISE

Using this acronym as our methodology we start off with a headcount and asset analysis to see what we can accomplish for a particular afternoon. Once a realistic goal has been determined we delegate members to recon areas for possible mining targets. Once we have made recon and located a possible mining location we re-evaluate the situation to see if the location is feasible for our blitzkrieg mining operation tactics. Assuming the location is reasonable the scouting party is now re-delegated towards finding locations with the best price for our goods. Meanwhile our military assets secure a portion of the asteroid belt and give the green light to the mining and escort ships to warp in. Next step is to monitor the situation and prepare for the possibility of being attacked mid operation. Upon completion of the mining task we will ideally extract to our base of operations and the cargo ships return from their sales. All profits will be split amongst each member post mission.
