Alliance Rules
(§1) Stay Classy
The Brave Collective does not permit discrimination or harassment by any user of our alliance-level services.
Pornographic, gore or similar content is also not welcome on our services.
Stay Classy also includes not gloating or mocking our vanquished foes, basically don't be a dick just because you won a fight.
(§2) Do Not Shoot Blues
In cases where you are being shot at without your consent, make every possible effort to de-escalate the situation without firing back if possible. Then report the person who shot at you to our diplo team.
Note: This rule applies to Faction Warfare as well - do not shoot blues while participating in Faction Warfare!
(§3) Scams and Ransoms
Soliciting
Soliciting monetary support via Brave IT services is prohibited. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis for legitimate charities and projects that directly support the alliance. Please contact a member of the leadership team before posting any charitable or similar links.
(§4) Market PVP
For a clear definition of Blue-Fucking and some general advice regarding the market, you can reference this article.
(§5) Looting
Guidelines
Loot in PVE sites belongs to the people running them. Loot from friendly sub-capital wrecks if the situation allows, give pilots time to return and scoop their own wrecks. If unable, scoop what you can and return it to that pilot, Brave Capital loot that is scooped during a battle should be contracted back to the pilot.
Please do not loot or salvage while a fleet fight is still underway.
NPC Wrecks
All NPC wrecks in Cosmic Anomalies and Signatures belong to the player running the site. If you are running/mining anomalies as group, the loot is free for all.
Player Loot
Loot from player ship wrecks belongs to whoever is the first to grab it. We do however greatly encourage sharing loot with those that lost their ships to help get those kills.
The exception to this is capital loot from friendly capitals. Please send this back to the victim, or if you're not sure who the owner was, please contract to the corporation Brave Holdings
. If it's a stratop or our cap fleet kills something - you'd be helping us out enormously to contract the hostile loot to Shattered Armer
, who will use the loot to help fund SRP.
Loot from blue wrecks must be returned on request to the wreck's owner.
Exploration
While exploring in Friendly space, you MUST finish all sites you start. That means once the first can is looted, you must loot or fail the other cans so the site will despawn. Failing to do this is known as Cherrypicking. In addition, make sure to avoid regions which we are prohibited from exploring in.
Encounter Surveillance Systems (ESS)
The accessing of Main Banks in Brave or Blue Encounter Surveillance Systems is strictly prohibited. You may access Reserve Banks in systems belonging to Brave in the region of Pure Blind, but you must pay 5% of the linking's total output to the Brave Holdings
corporation.
(§6) Personal Deployables
Mobile Tractor Units
Brave MTUs are free to be shot during fleet ops. Brave members are expressively allowed to loot the field however. Orphaned MTUs in unfinished anomalies or belts in our systems are free to be shot if attempts to contact the owner have failed (give them a few minutes in case they DC'd).
Warp Disruption Bubbles
Brave Bubbles are free to be shot if they are unattended.
Do not anchor bubbles on gates in F-NMX6 or any gates leading to the system.
These gates are high traffic areas, so remind yourself that if a blue ship dies in an unattended bubble you deployed you're expected to take personal responsibility and compensate the pilot. If there's a dispute about this, bring it to HR for resolution, AWOX-ing is never an option, for any reason.
If you put up bubbles, take them down before going AFK or logging off. If your bubble is abandoned it can be shot and destroyed by blues.
(§7) Live Streaming
Dedicated Fleets
Fleets dedicated to streaming may be setup however the streamer wishes, as long as the ping and fleet MOTD mentions that it's being streamed and unrelated opsec information is obfuscated.
Other Fun Fleets
Fun fleets may be streamed with the express permission of the FC, however the following restrictions must be adhered to:
- There must be a delay of at least 5 minutes.
- Opsec information like intel channels must be obfuscated.
- The ping and MOTD for the fleet must be amended to specify that the fleet's being streamed, and those currently in the fleet must be informed.
- These must also specify if comms are being streamed.
Standing Fleet
Standing Fleet may be streamed, but only under the following restrictions:
- There must be a delay of at least 2 minutes.
- Open standing comms may not be streamed under any circumstances.
- Opsec information including intel channels, fleet comp, and fleet membership must be obfuscated.
- Ratting and mining groups may not be streamed. Additionally if it looks like you're just streaming to publicize blue intel we will not be happy with you.
- The fleet must be informed that someone's streaming.
Stratops
Stratops, Capital Fleets, and Supercapital Fleets should not be streamed under any circumstances.
(§8) YOLOCaps
General Restrictions
If a friendly subcapital force is forming for or has already engaged your target, you must get permission from the FC before engaging. Make sure to specify at that time if you would like their support in extracting.
A 'subcapital force' is defined as any fleet or gang which has organized to the point that there is a clear FC present. The FC does NOT need to have tags for this to apply, and may be from any blue alliance.
Support
You are not entitled to support unless you can convince someone to provide it. DO NOT mislead people into thinking they need to support or save you.
YOLO drops are not eligible for SRP unless commanded by a Capital FC and meeting all other standard requirements.
Diplo Things
If you drop in an allied system you must comply with the system owners' rules and wishes. In Brave space, only Brave leadership has authority over YOLO drops.
(§9) Rorquals
The complete set of policies regarding Rorqual mining in Brave space can be found here.
(§10) Supercarriers
- Own a supercarrier hull, and
- Have a trained cyno recon alt and hull on a separate account.
If you meet these requirements, you can apply on the recruitment site using the following link: https://joinus.bravecollective.com/supercapitals
(§11) Standing Fleet Safety
Personal standings should be reviewed intermittently to ensure that you don't have personal standings which could allow neutral or entities hostile to brave into a Brave standing fleet should you assume an in fleet command position. Non brave entities should not be invited into a Brave Standing fleet, including personal non-brave alts. If needed, we have Brave Empire available should you need a non-war declarable alt, or if necessary drop from fleet for neutral cyno needs
(§12) Maintain Brave Core Account
Brave expects that each pilot will maintaining their Brave core account.
This includes:
Keeping valid tokens on all of your characters associated with your Brave Core account.
Ensure that ALL characters of yours are added to your Brave Core account.
Add any new characters created to your Brave Core.
Eve Online Rules

Alliance Enforcement
(§14) Alliance Services
Access to the alliance services is a privilege that can be taken from members for violation of the rules stated on this page or for the disruption of alliance services.
(§15) BRAVE HR
Members are expected to comply with HR's instructions. The HR department can and will moderate all alliance services.
Brave HR is authorized to decide on disciplinary action taken against all Brave Collective members.

Failure to follow this procedure or to follow the instructions of HR Officers can lead to further disciplinary action.
Brave HR is authorized to take disciplinary action beyond the immediate scope of the rules on this page if it is deemed necessary. The HR team answers to the Head of HR and the alliance CEO.
