[align=center][/align]
Mission Statement:

Clan UE is a neutral organisation dedicated to exploring the unknown, in the true spirit of adventure. Our primary endeavour is to uncover hidden star systems, new trade routes, secret resources, and other uncharted anomalies. With both individual and team-based expeditions we are ever ready to set off into the distant reaches of deep space in the search for adventure and discovery.

Code:
  1. Always have polite and respectful conduct towards other pilots (even when blowing a hostile pilot to smithereens!)
  2. Abide by the rules of whichever MP server you are flying on.
  3. Respect the chain of command when engaged in team operations.
  4. Help and encourage new pilots.
  5. Promote the spirit of fun and adventure - at the end of the day it's just a game.
    [/list=1]
    Clan Activities:

    Team-based Operations
    Flying together on co-ordinated expeditions. These may be pre-arranged or just spontaneous.
    • Use the Clan UE Missions Board to organise an operation in advance.
    • Can be long-range expeditions into deep space.
    • Can be short-range excursions for trading or system contracts.
    • Can be military operations against the Vonari or hostile clans*.
    • Choice of ship-frame and equipment load-out should reflect the mission objectives, and be appropriately balanced among expedition members.
    • A command structure should be agreed upon before the mission, and subsequently adhered to for the duration of the mission. For a more detailed overview of a typical command structure and wing position during missions refer to this document (coming soon).
* Although Clan UE is traditionally neutral, we will respond to hostile attacks with the use of appropriate force. In addition, in times of clan war we may choose to give occasional, temporary assistance to friendly clans. (Basically we don't want to miss out on any fun!)

Solo Operations
Intrepid explorers who prefer to fly solo are also important in Clan UE activities. They are encouraged to share their adventures by posting their flight logs in the Clan UE thread.

Fighter Escort Wing:

There is a role within Clan UE for fighter pilots to provide escort during the more dangerous Clan operations. The Clan UE Fighter Escort Wing is a project currently on hold at this time. As soon as we get some new members who are interested in combat duties, then we will re-activate the Fighter Escort Wing. We also welcome collaboration with non-UE pilots who would like to offer their combat skills as a fighter escort.

Currently Active Missions:

These are Clan operations which are either still in progress or have yet to be launched. Any member is welcome to join or initiate whichever one interests them. Just follow the respective link to the Missions Board and post your request to participate.

Mission: Shipwreck hunting in Onyx

Mission: Deep Space Expedition

Mission: Over The Hill Quest - Confirm Shipwreck Location in Olympus

Clan UE’s legendary founder Thetiebers (Callsign: 49erTbird) has recently announced his retirement from the Clan, and has officially handed over the Clan Leadership to me.

Since there has been little to no activity within the Clan for an extended period of time, I have decided to give Clan UE a bit of a makeover. So I have started a new official thread, updated the Clan mission statement, and removed obsolete member names from the roster.

It will be a challenge to fill Tbird’s shoes, but I think there’s still a lot of potential for Clan UE. So I shall continue to fly the flag, and hopefully breathe some new life into it.

Thanks for the well-wishes :) The old thread was closed down as it had become obsolete, with virtually none of the original members still remaining. This new thread represents a fresh start from scratch. The Clan was pretty much on the point of extinction, but I think the concept of Universe Explorers is a great one, so I decided to revive and revamp it.

Clan UE has arisen from the ashes! :cool:

Not that I am speaking for MCCON, if there are any former members of UE that would like to continue flying under the banner I would be willing to bet you would be welcome with open arms.

Totally right there SD. Anyone who was once a UE pilot is always welcome if they choose to return to the fold!

Even if they don't have quite the same fervour as SD! :D

That's the kind of sentiment on which empires are built! I really appreciate your continued support SD.

I have made a new clan logo and have designed some new Clan UE insignia badges, for anyone who wants to use them in your signature/avatar. Just let me know and I'll send you a U2U with a link.

I am currently surveying a system as a possible candidate for Clan UE's new home territory. It's an uncharted system which is not too difficult to reach (apart from the fact that it is hidden). So far I have mapped out several features which would make it a viable base from which to launch clan operations. Details are classified for non-clan members.

Standby for further updates.

After further reconnaissance of the uncharted system, with the aid of Evometrics, I have located a planet that is somehow cloaked from all sensors, including not showing in the Nav Map. The system appears to be populated and shows signs of active trade and lucrative contracts. I made contact with a couple of local pilots, one of whom passed me a Terrain Walker which I sold for 14 million credits. The other pilot sold me some information relating to another possible uncharted planet tucked away among the core systems.

I've therefore decided to set up Clan UE's headquarters here, and make this our home base.

After several years exploring, there are still amazing things to find!

Beware of planets that have been 'stealthed' though - rumours are that Actarians have that capability - and as we know, Actarians are not people friendly! Just think of the technology required to permanently stealth a whole planet! ;)

Congrats on UE's new home! :cool:

@ DaveK - This is the first time I'm hearing the Actarian rumor. :o That said, I have a theory... (A game theory! :o:o:P:P:P)

I've only encountered the "Unknown" in the vicinity of planet Actarius. Every time I have, their ships seemed to be of a medium civilian class (by my estimation). Actarius is not cloaked.

With this new info about the Unknown having planet cloaking tech, I now believe that Actarius is merely a fledgling colony. If it was their homeworld, why would it not be cloaked and heavily defended as well? Perhaps it was colonized then something severely weakened the Unknowns military capabilities (Vonari?), leaving them unable to complete the full setup/cloaking of the planet.

Perhaps UE is closer to the secret of the Unkowns than thought. :cool:

One suggestion I have is examine relative positions of 'known' cloaked planets (Novachron comes to mind), and see if a pattern/trail appears. :)

:cool: As discussed at length in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Evoverse, it has been proposed that Actarians are actually Andromedan refugees.

Although I myself have never made contact personally with the Actarians, I've heard that they are hostile. That, together with the fact that they don't seem to be intent on spreading their empire, gives clues as to the socio-pschological characteristics of their culture. Apparently content if left alone in peace. Does that indicate a stable, harmonious society, uninterested in the affairs of external politics? Or could it indicate insecurity... perhaps as a result of, as RC points out, a weakened military? The latter would also be in line with the hypothesis that they are indeed refugees.

The Actarians have been afraid since I passed
through their system with guns blasting in
all directions.

Some pilots claim they've found artifacts there but
it's actually just debree from what used to be their ships!

LOL Seejay :D

@SD The location of our home system is classified for NON-clan members. I know we are supposed to be competent explorers but I wouldn't expect our clan members to have to "discover" for themselves our own home system haha! U2U has just been sent with the coordinates.

I spent Christmas Day in the Lost Rucker system looking for work (times are hard!). The unusual behaviour of an NPC pilot leads me to an unexpected find...
