Halsky's Hands-on Hawks, the best pilots west of The Citadel, grinding Abyss in Caldari Frigates, earning Dank ISK - do you want to try?

What is that?

Idea

HHH is my (Chris') solution to 'Triple Hawks Conundrum':

• You need cohesive team of pilots to run efficiently - you can't take 3 random pilots to T6 and hope it will be ok
• Small team is very susceptible to RL tackle - small group of pilots will have issues finding time to fly

My idea is to 'create' larger group of people, where any 3 of them can form up successful team to run T5/T6 Abyss in Hawks. There's more to that (read it well, or just ask me), but that's the gist of it. I want everyone to be able to fly Hawks in T5/T6 :)

Fit

Will be linked here. Hawk, LMLs, about 75M ISK.

How it works?

Joining

Everyone can join. If they meet requirements - and there are two sets, Hard and Soft.

Hard requirements:

• Omega clone. We are running Hawks, no exceptions.
• Reasonable Abyss experience. You need to be able to run T1 Darks in Hawks by yourself.
• Reasonable Skills. T2 LMLs, T2 Tank - that should be easy, max skills will come later.
• Mumble is absolutely necessary. Get used to it.

Soft requirements: These come from my limited 'trust'. Since the expectation is that older players will fund (at least partially) failed runs of new players, some level of trust is required :)
I want one of:

• Sophomore title. That says something about you engaging with Uni, and that's what I want to promote.
• Being know Abyss runner in Uni. If I know you from #abyssals, it's enough.
• Vouched by existing member(s). I don't know everyone, and if current members will tell you're good, you're good :)

Taxes

The is tax.

What, why, how?
I want to 'spread the risk'. There will be kill rooms. There will be disconnects, and there will be pilot mistakes. I want everyone to be able to learn in quite safe environment, without worrying (too much) about having funds to buy another 10 ships. So I decided to impose 10% tax on all loot collected.

Of course - it's all based on trust, I can't check what you get from runs - but I have high hopes.

Transparency

Since I want to tax your runs to pay for any expenses, I also want to be super transparent about it. I will keep (reasonably) up to date log of ISK flow available for all members. At least I'll try, and we will see how it goes :)
