Opening Remarks from the CEO

Capataz

Here we are “Delve” and that now for some months, after the loss of Tribute, our long term home, base of operations. Did it hit us? For sure, but as life goes on, we need to move on, so here we are. New Tasks, goals and trying to get used temporally to the environment. I know it’s not easy and guys and girls you doing an awesome job. Most of you are settled by now and got used to our kind of new home. Is it final? I can only answer there i don’t know, that depends highly on the upcoming changes of CCP, but before thinking of that we have a lot of areas to pimp. We have now a little outpost that wears our tag, in case you haven’t noticed and i think you should have: 5-CQDA

Our general activity improved by far, new guys working like little bee’s constantly, be it in the background orl in game where all of you notice it. So guys assist them, i know its really easy to criticize everything that is new, but to criticize and bring up improvements by involving yourself is by far harder. So give them a chance they put a damn lot afford into it! You know that, i know that and a good amount of our established member’s could do more, so guys step up take on responsibility, you know if always given everyone the chance and will support you by standing behind, next with guidance and assistance and that by now for over three years. Yes, not three years as ceo but director and highly active team member and buddy. It’s more then understandable that my sickness and less in game activity influenced the corp a lot, it based on me. That’s why i ask you all again support the new team, the new structure and fine tune it with us and all combined only make the Oberon Team. Everyone that wear’s this tag and i always was proud to do so.

The question is now, what are the next goals since a good load of the structure is in place. The answer is easy, find ourselves, get active on corp level again, train new guys and get us to daily corp ops again. For that we don’t need a stable home as we had it in Tribute, all we need is fun, guys stepping up and lead. Question is who does that? I know a lot of you have the potential and by far easy the knowledge, use it! Nothing can go wrong, we can introduce and adjust the reimbursement rates and we will.

Many have asked, ‘So what changes have been made?’  We promoted some guys and more of you can be that’s from now on up to each Deputy Leader of the Division to pick people who they want to work with and promote to senior. We have a new Director in our Ranks “Bonesoz” gratz buddy now as well here in public. Next part is Bonesoz divisions which is all about “YOU” the members of OI. Spreading info’s, collecting them, as well to fully go in and listens to you. Next part of that division is a new Newsletter, and a lot other stuff. Stryus, Kain, Ct Nero, Gataga, Akido and sorry if i leave one you out, special thanks to all of you really you guys are outstanding how you stepped up. And of course you baby, wouldn’t be that well by now honey i love you!
Main part is we need lots of people!

Diplomacy Report

Gataga

Currently there is a lot of drama around the diplomacy of Morsus Mihi and our friends. First starting off with our current blues, Brick Squad, and The Remnant Legion. Brick who came down with us to hang out from the north. The Remnant legion are made up of Ex Widot and Ex MH Corps, they are still in the building stage. Brick Squad as proved to be a very fun ally and there leadership awesome to work with. The Remnant Legion will hopefully step up to the plate and be the ally everyone hopes.

Now the recent events! We came down to delve and met a ally who we thought would be great to work with, but we soon realized our mistake. The Collective which restarted the Borg Alliance was a great ally and we were working well together. There is a lot of speculation to why there recent reset has happened but I’ll sum it up as much as possible. Official statement from Morsus Mihi is they have been planning a switch to be AAA pets and kill our Supers, it was only a matter of
time. I know for a fact that there was some tension between our Military Command and Borg. It has been said they felt with the attitude and demands that were constantly made by MM is made them feel like a pet. At the end of the day they made themselves a pet. Making a Deal with AAA they have been told to Blue and join the Delve Coalition and fight us, which they did with no problem putting back in the block they wanted to leave. All for a little chunk of space!

Recent news Suggest that NC. and The Pandemic Legion are on their way to Delve and Querious to have some PEW PEW fun. News of White Noise Warming up on AAA has come through with AAA taking some major loses at the beginning. PL and NC. coming to delve is to keep allies busy so that AAA can fight their own battles. For the delve coalition we came to take convicted space and instead of just letting it go and have a Good Fights Pact, they seem to think we want all of delve and which is kinda funny. Eve is a Giant Vacuum right now time will only tell what will happen!

Please read the following.

As of the 1st of August 2011 there will be a new Ship Replacement Program for Oberon.

How it will work :-

Corp Tax will be set to 10%. This tax will fund all T1 losses by all Oberon Members as per standard Ship Replacement Program Protocols below.

Monthly Tax of 50 Million ISK per person (not toon) deposited into Oberon Area 51 will fund T2 losses (except Black Ops and Marauders) as per standard Ship Replacement Program Protocols.

Reimbursement Officers:

Jaxey – Oceanic TZ
Anita1 – EU TZ

Ship Replacement Program Protocols:

1. MUST BE IN A FLEET.

A fleet shall be classified as a group (or groups) of pilots undertaking roaming or objective based operations under the direction of an alliance or Corp FC. Whilst in Delve, due to the PVP based environment, minor Corp roams may be accepted for SRP subject to correct fitment and fleet size / constitution.
Losses caused by being ganked whilst trying to catch up to a fleet or returning home independent of the fleet will not be eligible for ship reimbursement, we know the vultures camp after a fleet passes through hoping to pick off the stragglers.
No losses associated with carebearing activities will be covered.

2. SHIPS MUST BE FITTED CORRECTLY.

Official Alliance Fittings & Doctrines can be found here.
CLICK HERE
Fits are also listed in the In-Game Fitting Management page under Corporation Fittings. Additional fits eligible for ship replacement may be added to this tool after the fit has been approved by Manks.
Meta 3/4 components of the same type are permitted to allow for skill deficiencies however if you can use it, fit it, if you can’t, train it.

3. NULL SECURITY LOSSES ONLY

High Sec and Low Sec losses will not be covered unless it is an Alliance Fleet under the direction of an approved alliance FC. Roaming fleets and minor ops that experience losses will not be covered, so participate in these fleets at your own risk.

- Capital & T2 Construction/Development Report

*** NOTE: Capital Report and Informaiton NOT included in this report! ***

Adrathis Delta

Hashi Lebwohl

Background

When the first T2 BPOs were introduced a member of Oberon got a cap recharger BPO – which he sold for a few hundred million to the Corp. [There were a lot of idiots, myself included, that did not appreciate what they had - I got a 10mn afterburner print which I promptly sold and purchased a couple of Scorpions.   ]

Because he did Oberon effectively finance the Phoenix Alliance during the Great North War of 2004. The Corp was the first in that Alliance to pay for platinum insurance on members’ battleships so that we would continue to field them against Evolution & Co. We handed over hundreds of cap rechargers to fellow Alliance Corporation to fund their war effort too. Had we been focused on manufacturing at that time we would be much richer than we are today – but T2 has always been a revenue source to allow the Corp to give opportunities to its members, rather than recycling the ISK to expand the number of prints. Outposts (the second one ever created) and Alliance Tournament teams have, for example, been funded though the ISK made in tech II. Example, the only reason we own a Skiff print was that it is once possible to fit cargo expanders to Skiffs and then fill them up with materials. Alot of these Skiffs, whose size was only 5,000m3, could then be placed in a carrier – its how we got all the Outpost materials to Esoteria and why CCP nerfed the ability to have stuff in cargohold of ships in carriers

What prints we do have arose form a policy of buying any print that a member had and wanted to sell and an attempt to secure some prints for items the Corp used a lot. Once our 425mm print was so valuable that Evolution offered that we could stay in Esoteria if we surrendered it to them – today nobody uses rails.

When the Corp left Esoteria with the fall of Prime Orbital Systems [POS], I took over the tech II production full time. Initially it was a one man band but I’ve been getting assistance for the last couple of years from Gen Maximus,
Adrathis Delta, Gaurina and Robert Heinlein amongst others.

Current operation

We have the capacity to make 33 lines of production each week using three in Corp production alts. Outside the Corp there are five alts that manufacture the tech I base items, RAM and produce from my own personal T2 prints. Normally we do not manufacture off a print if it cannot make a reasonable weekly profit of about 30 million.

Production is done in Kor Azor in the HQ station. This location was decided because the Headquarters has a separate security level, meaning that granting access to max sec in a Corporation office does not give access to the the HQ Max Sec. We do not manufacture off a tower which would make more isk because the standing requirement dictates that it would have to be arranged via an alt Corporation. Had we gone down this route I am pretty certain that we would have lost the prints to the departures of key individuals.

Irrespective of where Oberon ends up the T2 operation generates income for the Corp, which allows the Directors the ability to offer Corp programs to the members and assists in negotiations with Alliances by showing that the Corp can support itself.

POS Report

As it is well known we do not have the same expanse of infrastructure and TEC moons like we once had so this submission will be brief. We currently have three POS online and several POS between Tribute and Delve that are currently offline which can be used when moving Caps and Supers down to Delve.

Plans are underway to strategically position DS around Delve in support of our war efforts.

- History 201 <- History 101 were the days of Tribute…
by Gataga

***NOTE: This is historical information.***

~What has brought us to this Point~
Well we all know that sitting in Trib and being part of the NC for the past several years has caused a loss in focus. MM used to be a major PvP force which helped defend and attack many large entity s, for Example BoB in Delve Wars and Max Campaigns. Over time we became complacent and lost focus, we bloated and became the thing we hated the most. We did not evolve and always depended on the same people over and over. While at the same Time the game changed around us and we became obsolete. MM and NC kept many alliances on the brink of falling apart together and did the BFF thing. Instead of replacing and getting fresh, Old Guard with Old Ties ruled the day. I could go on but i mean u all hear the what and whys constantly do beating a dead horse isn’t going to fix nothing!

~The Move To Delve~
The move to Delve was suppose to get us away from the north, many Leaderships from other corps wanted to stay in Venal and
fight the good fight. This was motivated by wanting to constantly try to take back tech moons. To me this would only deepen our already moral battered troops and cause us to look else wheres. We needed to break away from the NC and the blues who constantly leached to MM to survive.
Delve was chosen because of the distance from tribute and with newly space holders of delve living there would bring awesome fights. For a change we were not the ones defending we were the ones choosing when and where to fight and when to fight. Plus I’m sure a lot of dudes where not to happy with Testies being not so BFF at the end! So far we have killed a few Enemy Supers, without the use of Supers, and had some good fights. Some even outnumbered where we have lost some and won some. I think our main concern was letting the member base get back to having some fun, not the Constant CTA CTA GET IN MOFO FLEET BITCHES! Venal and other places would not of provided that for us!

The Real Question I’ve been Hearing
When are we going to get space again? Well the answer to that question is not as simple as it is asked. We need to evolve and catch up to the game, make it so our fleets and membership is efficient. We are on the right path but as always there are some hick ups on the road. The problem is we cant just jump right back into owning space again. None of the old problems would get fixed and we would just be stuck defending right off again. I’m not saying it is totally never ever going to happen again. I mean lets be honest a lot of dudes need 0.0 to build and produce, but we need to get our house in order to be able to do that. So on that note i will not give any time frames so i cant be called a liar!

State Of Morsus Mihi

First off i would like to start off with Imperian Leaving. A lot of people have been having bad thoughts about this and i just want to touch up with a few words. Imperian was a great leader and a crucial part of Morsus. He has done so much for the alliance and brought fun,lolz, serious Internet Spaceship PVP when needed even a titan kill/loss every now and then.lolz. Over the last few Months he has stopped playing so much due to his RL. He wanted to build on a PvP alliance and do many things but i dont think he had the time to give to it. There are rumors that the CEO gave him grief about inviting corps into MM and thats why he left, didnt want to keep asking permission and going through debates.
So to Current Events, We have come to delve to reform and have some fun. The HC are debating on a constant basis about the direction of MM but we all know how that rolls.

With Imperian Stepping down Vlade Randall has stepped up to be military lead with many that support him Including me. Right now we Need more FC to step up and branch out that is the most important thing of all. We can not rely on the same people over and over.

The problem is everyone is just looking for us to move and be better. Well that just can’t happen, we have made many mistakes and now we need to correct them. We need to bring the fun back to the game and fix the wholes and cracks that we have, This process does not happen over night. CEO are debating, FC are Debating , random dudes are chiming in. TBH in order to make something work and to do all what needs to everyone needs to work together and get stuff done. Morsus is what we make of it! I personally am going to stop being a quite SOB and start pushing for things to change and get noticed. Its about time the things start trickling down that things are happening. So all and all Morsus Mihi is still here. She needs a lot of TLC but there is a future if everyones willing to work for it.

State Of Oberon Incorporated

Well as most of noticed we have lost of decent membership after the loss of tribute. Even know we wish people would stick out with corp everyone must find there own way. Capataz is ill and having major internet issues which hasen’t helped at this crucial time. Such is life and now we need to move on and start rebuilding this corp.

I have seen lots of complaints about Corp Leadership lately not being around ect, ect, Which i warrant you is true for many reasons. Capa being out and a lot of ldr been moving stuff its been a -_- time. Right now the Leadership structure is being reworked and I know capataz is putting a lot of thought into it. The Corp has lost some decent Directors after the fall of tribute, which was a blow to the ranks. We will get this sorted asap! For the time being Pagan God(capataz), Bones0z, Manks Girl, Gaurina, Myself, And I missing people but i am writing this kinda fast. At the end of the day the Corp needs to interact and work together, you can not rely on us all the time to do everything. We are all in the same corp and need to accomplish things as a team.

I will be getting a Corp POS set up in 1dh Soon – COMPLETE. Stuff is still in transit so that being said finding things up in delve is a pain in the a**!  Reimbursements, if you havent gotten them yet be patient. I know we were having API issues with incarna and i think something else came up. I know you guys need your isk back to reship, but again Pixels is a pain in the a**!

ISK MAKING – A topic that has caused some heated debate in the corporation chat box. The spoils of tribute have not left but a burning whole in some people wallets. This is the perfect time to start doing some reading and some experiments to see how u
can make alternative incomes. BTW if u sit in a system long enough u can rat in hostile space, they just go somewhere else. Trading,Character buying/selling,Market Seeding(which would be easy up here, shit is hell expensive), data cores, endless possibilities.

DIRECTION – Easy Pew Pew and more Pew Pew. The month of July is very important. It is important because its the last month i give MM to start showing progress. I know things are tense wallets are forming cob webs, but hang in there at the end of the day OI and its membership is more important than kicking a corpse trying to get it up again. Get some PvP in have some fun, reinvent yourself, Get some extra income going. Tell you that coming up here joining a fleet killing something

has been nice change of pace. Lets start there bridge from that and see what possibilities are a head.

I would like to say this is a Brief overlay but not all issues that have been mentioned to me. The corp is a little quite right now but not out, we just need to get back to Communication and working together. Lets focus on our cracks and holes and make Oberon Solid again.
