Please refer to `Azure Citizen` in-game channel for more details. Please join Discord at https://discord.gg/XNpFzJG For questions, please contact the admin listed in the Azure Citizen channel. Rules subject to change, though we attempt to keep changes at a minimum.

1. General Rental Rules and Benefits (these apply to renting corps and renting alliances)

  • 1.1. Winter Coalition will form fleets to protect FRT sov (ihubs, TCUs, sov hubs)
  • 1.2. Renter exclusive rights in your system include asteroid belts, anomalies and signatures. This includes data and relic sites. It does not include moons which are rented separately. (Note: This is not applicable if you are called upon to help raise ADMs in specific systems with low ADMs or during war time.)
  • 1.3 The gas clouds and chemical lab sites in the constellation 09-4XW are available to all renters and to Fraternity. (Chemical lab sites that are not in a gas cloud constellation are not shared.) No other PVE activities are allowed in 09-4XW.
  • 1.4 ESS reserve is available to the system owner and to FRT. This means that FRT can access with a key. And also the renter can access with a key. You are not allowed to take from an ESS reserve bank if somebody else with rights to it has already opened it with a key.
  • 1.5. Escalations are allowed anywhere. If you are staying in another renter system for an escalation or other allowed reason, please explain what you are doing in local to the current occupants.
  • 1.6. Alliance provides a Discord server (https://discord.gg/XNpFzJG) for intel pings, trading and basic communication. Trading in-game channel is `Azure Trade`.
  • 1.7. If your structure is attacked, report in intel and in Discord. Include location, owner, type of structure, and any timers. (in Discord, send to @military).
  • 1.8 In-game channels:
    • Azure Citizen (public)
    • Wc.north (intel)
    • Azure Trade (English and Chinese)
    • WC ACL (Winter 体系 and WC JF, WCGunners)
  • 1.9 Shooting blues is not allowed. Raise issues to your rental admin. For an AWOX (blue on blue kill) by your corp or alliance that has reasonable proof, the value lost must be paid by the awoxer, renting corp or renting alliance. If you do not pay, you are subject to removal from the rental program.
  • 1.10 Racism, abuse, and IRL politics are not tolerated. This hurts the renter program, Fraternity reputation, and your own players. Abusive and racist language, or other bad activity that hurts Fraternitys reputation are kickable offenses.
  • 1.11 See “Regional Traffic Control, section 11, for important information about travel and play in systems other than your own.

2. Systems

  • 2.1. The list of systems available to rent is in the MOTD of Azure Citizen channel.
  • 2.2. In addition to your rented systems, there are 5 systems set aside for you to use for ice and belt mining, exploring, and ratting.
    These 5 systems are also available to other renters. Currently, the additional systems available to you are BKG-Q2, PKG4-7, XW-2XP, AH-B84 (in Branch) and NV-3KA (in Tenal). When playing in these systems, use common sense and be polite to others playing there. Do not cherry pick. Clear belts and anomolies so they can spawn.

3. Rent Payment

  • 3.1. Rent is due on the 3rd day of the month. After the first offense, there may be an additional charge to you for administrative costs. At the 15th day you may be removed from the rental program depending on circumstances.

  • 3.3. Full payment must be made.
  • 3.4 Sub-renting is not allowed unless the agreement is approved by a rental admin and the sub-renter CEO registers on WinterCo SEAT. Any sub-renting agreement must be in writing and is the responsibility of the renter of the system to enforce. Any sub-renter who stops renting must be reported to your admin contact immediately. Limit of one sub-renter per renting corp.

5. System activity defense multiplier

  • 5.1. Use your rental systems to keep the ADMs up. Normally, the military and industry indexes need to be over 3 combined. If you fail in this, we might have to remove you, or bring in Winter Coalition players to raise the ADMs. In times of hostilities or war, we need to raise ADMs higher than 4 for defense reasons, sometimes to 4.5 or higher. If this occurs, we will notify CEOs in Discord of the new requirement. Official military operations acting in renter space must be respected (this includes Caladrius, Fraternity, and other Winter Coalition military.

  • 7.2 Fraternity (or their assigned Winter Coalition delegate) will shoot down abandoned structures, so you will need to keep your structures fueled and running.

  • 10.5 Please read the rental rules on the moon pricing document for additional details about moon rentals.

11. Regional Traffic Control

  • 11.1. Outside of your own system, keep your travel at minimum. NO ratting, belt mining, exploring, or other game-play, in any other renter systems or in systems of Winter Coalition and its allies. You may travel through these systems, complete escalations, or mine a moon you have rented. Scanning for wormholes is OK only if the owner of the system agrees. Always check in local if occupied and politely leave if asked.
  • 11.2 Event rules will vary by the event. Some will be restricted to your rented system, others will allow use of other systems to complete event sites.
  • 11.3. Coalition intel channel is `wc.north`. You are responsible for reporting hostiles and neutrals in the channel.
  • 11.4. Azure police will try their best to help with neutral presence, but we can not realistically help you with a cloaky camper. Pilots who are members of Caladrius Alliance provide military defense in the area and should not be bothered in local.
  • 11.5. Renters may anchor bubbles within their systems. Please be respectful to others including your moon/system rental neighbors. If on a travel route, have a player in the system to take the bubbles down for friendlies. Military operations will always have the right to shoot down bubbles. Caladrius has the right to put up bubbles when mining their moons. Do not shoot Caladrius bubbles.

If there is a problem please contact your rental admin. Do not PVE (including events) or steal ESS from any ally (blue) space or war time ally space. Do not play or linger in Pandemic Horde renter space (Cobalt Edge, Oasa, GLD4U sov in Perrigan Falls) or Northern Coalition renter space (The Spire, Malpas, Cache).
  • 11.8 No ratting or other PVE (except completing escalations) allowed in Vale, Tribute, Geminate (unless you rent a system there), Pure Blind, Deklein or other Fraternity or blue space.
  • 11.9 A note on Pandemic Horde and Northern Coalition. Winter Coalition/Fraternity has a NIP with PH and NC. Do not to shoot each other's structures. It is also against the NIP to put structures into each other's sov or shoot PH or NC. structure.
  • 11.10 Pandemic Horde has 2 corps, Pandemic Horde Inc. and Arctic Beans, that are not ESI security checked. So we have reset those 2 corps – and set all the other Pandemic Horde corps blue. This is so they don't kill our expensive ships. If you see a Pandemic Horde, Inc or Arctic Beams player, do not shoot them. You can defend. DO NOT PLAY or HUNT in Pandemic Horde space – This includes Perrigan Falls, Kalevala and other space that is REKTD sov.

Alliance Rental Rules and Benefits

These apply to renting alliances only

  • 1. Price = 2B per month plus rental fees for your systems.
  • 2. The alliance must rent at least 3 systems and must be approved by Arrowspeeed as a renting alliance. Only established alliances with a good history are allowed to rent as an alliance.
  • 3. You will have standings between your alliance and WinCo members. WinCo allies are not required to blue you or to add you to their ACLs. Separate arrangements can possibly be made for this at the agreement of the WinterCo ally.
  • 4. Standings Point of Contact is required.
  • 5. WinCo SEAT registration is required for CEOs.
  • 6. Because we don't set standings between renting alliances and winco allies, you might have mis-aiigned docking rights to standings. So please set your docking rights for your structures to include only those WinterCo alliances that you have blue standings with. See your rental manager for list.
  • 7. An important note about standings and AWOX. Please remember that Azure Citizen (FRT’s rental alliance) is blue to WinterCo members and allies – but that renting alliances are blue only to WinterCo members. This means that if a renting alliance is fighting alongside Azure renters, you could be in a situation where you are fighting a group that is blue to some of you and neutral to others. Please be on the watch for this, particularly if you are roaming or fighting outside of your renter space.
