===== Krabbing Etiquette in Brave =====

Brave has come a long way in the options we have for ISK Making. It was not very long ago that this alliance boasted a single constellation to share between its members for //all// activities. 

Over the course of our advancement, we've begun to run into a problem where certain activities have become crowded, and some disputes have arisen because of this. This page is designed to offer some common sense advice, along with already-established rules in relation to some of our most popular moneymaking activities. It should be clarified that **guidelines are NOT enforced rules**, however these standards may be looked at when dealing with disputes.

==== Anomaly Ratting ====

This section applies to all Brave Controlled Systems in the region of Pure Blind. 

-----

=== Freedom to Choose Your Site ===
<fc #ff0000>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A RULE]**</fc> 

It must be made clear that the official position of Brave is that **no sites within our space shall be restricted based on ship type or pilot experience**. While it is nice to run the sites best tailored to your ship, no restrictions will be enforced, and no one outside of leadership (as defined in the [[/public/alliance/about#leadership|About Brave]] page) may create such a restriction. 

=== Site Claiming and Callout Channels ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc> 

A pilot may lay claim to a site by warping to it and actively running it. A claim may also be made by calling out the anomaly in question in the respective callout channel, and actively running that site in a reasonable amount of time. **The former method of claiming always usurps the latter.**

A site may NOT be claimed by placing an MTU in a site, holding an alt in the site that is not actively running it, or calling out a site before the pilot is ready to run it. Leaving a site for more than a few minutes invalidates a site claim. 

**While a site has a valid claim, no one besides that pilot should attempt to run, loot, salvage, or drop an MTU in said site without the pilot's permission**. As per the [[/public/alliance/rules##deployables_mtus_ess_s_bubbles|BRAVE Alliance Rules]], orphaned MTUs may be destroyed if attempts to contact the owner have failed.

==== Anomaly Mining ====

This section applies to all Brave Controlled Systems in the region of Pure Blind. 

-----

=== Anomaly Priorities ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc> 

0.0 ore yielding anomaly mining has drastically changed in recent years.  It is no longer a benefit to 'flip' or completely empty ore anomalies given the time required to mine extremely low value ore.

Ice Anomalies are a necessity to fuel Brave Infrastructure.  When able make every effort to mine the anomaly to completion when able so a re spawn can occur for another timezone of Brave players.


=== Rorqual Safety ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc> 

All pilots mining in a Rorqual outside of Private Moons will observe the following guideline, which is critical to keeping you alive in the event you are tackled:

**Only one anomaly/belt will contain Rorquals in it at any given moment, per system. Do not be on grid when the last rock pops.**

=== Considerations When Choosing a Rock ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc>

**It's generally considered good manners to keep your ship size in mind when choosing a rock.** For example, there's little point in mining a 800,000 m3 rock in a venture when there's a nearby 50,000 m3 one of the same type. 

Along with this, **it's usually preferable to avoid doubling up on rocks** unless the site is nearing completion and all other rocks are taken, or a prior agreement has been made between the pilots in question. This is especially true when dealing with rorquals, as a rock being finished at an unexpected time can lead to a rorqual being stuck on field for several minutes.

=== MTUs ===
<fc #ff0000>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A RULE]**</fc> 

**MTUs may be used in mining clusters, but must be removed on request from any pilot wishing to jetcan mine in that belt.** As per the [[/public/alliance/rules#looting_and_mtus|BRAVE Alliance Rules]], orphaned MTUs may be destroyed if attempts to contact the owner have failed. This is to ensure that pilots can jetcan mine without losing their ore.

==== Public Moon Mining ====

This section applies to all Moons designated as Public that are controlled by Brave. 

-----

=== Being in Standing Fleet ===
<fc #ff0000>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A RULE]**</fc> 

**Anyone mining a public moon must be in the respective regional standing fleet at all times.** This is to ensure that any boosts present are applied to everyone. 

=== Freedom to Choose Your Rock ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc> 

**It is generally accepted that rocks on public moons CANNOT be claimed**, and may be mined as seen fit by all pilots.

==== Exploration ====

Exploration is allowed in all space, blue or otherwise, except for those areas on the Banned Regions list linked below. 

-----

=== Site Claiming ===
<fc #00ff00>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A GUIDELINE]**</fc> 

**Scannable Relic or Data Signatures in our space may be claimed by warping to and running the signature.** Leaving the site at any time immediately invalidates a pilot's claim. 

=== Banned Exploration Locations ===
<fc #ff0000>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A RULE]**</fc> 

**Please reference our [[/member/alliance/military/standing_orders#banned_regions|Standing Orders]] for a list of regions we are prohibited from exploring in.** 

=== Cherry-Picking ===

<fc #ff0000>**[THIS SECTION DEFINES A RULE]**</fc> 

As per the the [[/public/alliance/rules#exploration|Alliance Rules]], **while exploring in Friendly space, you MUST finish all sites you start.** This means that all cans must be successfully hacked or destroyed. 

**Of all the rules on this page, this one is the most strictly enforced. DO NOT Cherry-Pick exploration sites in our space.**
