Additional Rules
- R16 athanors are owned by the renting corp unless it has a reprocessing or reaction service.
- All reprocessing and reaction services are managed by Fraternity.
- Structures must be kept fueled and operational. If not, moon will be lost with no refund after 2 warnings (offline) or 30 days (non-operational). Discord FRT-CEO and corp and alliance leaders channels can be pinged for remaining fuel.
- No sub-leasing of moons
- If a structure reachs 3 days fuel left a notice is sent to Corp/Discord. If a structure reachs 1day fuel left a warning is given.
- PLAN AHEAD so that you end all your moon pulls by the end of the period. If the asteroids are fired (fly into space) during your rental period, you have rights to mine those materials even if the mining is done at the first part of the next month.
- When transferring a refinery, include SEVEN (7) days of fuel before transferring the structure to the next corp. Always communicate immediately to the receiving corp after the transfer.
- When you acquire a moon, change the refiery name to show your ticker: example: H-W9TY - EN-PRIVATE 11-9 - ELTC Set vulnerability timer to 13:00
