Investor Group 300k(L)
Back since the very start i had plans to enable crew and passengers
of the Normandie to benefit from the growth and success of their
ship of choice.
I introduced the subscription service and the 10% share on
subcriptions for referring new subscribers to our service, which has
been a way to give out a little reward of the Normandie's success
based on this.
But not everyone is a promoter or likes to advertise - i have been
spending a great deal of time in thinking up other ways to allow
everyone to take part in the exciting venture of ToS Normandie and i
came up with a solution which i knew would need time before it could
work.
We first needed to prove ourselfs as being a reliable trustworthy
service which is in for the long run and we have done amazingly well
doing so. Therefore today is the day where i want to give all
Normandie crew and passengers, fans and supporters the possibilty to
take part in the further expansion of the ToS fleet (1 mothership
operational 'Normandie', 1 mothership in preparation 'Ark Royal').
Today i announce the launch of the 'ToS investor group 300k(L)' -
join in and support the growth of the 'to be' largest spacefleet in
entropia universe - read about your benefits further below,
following two possible investment opportunities. (*1)
Investment Opportunity - crew / VIP status
One opportunity is the investment to gain crewstatus/vipstatus
onboard, so after one years time if you request withdrawal you would
get the exact same amount of peds back and your ROI would have been
the free passage onboard of the Normandie either as crew or as vip.
3500 ped investment gives crewstatus on the Normandie and her
affiliated ships (with an annual subscription fee of 900ped this
equals a ROI of 25,71%, compared to a monthly subcription fee of
100ped in crew the ROI would be 34,29%, keep in mind you would get
access to all the ships of the fleet as they come into operation -
not just the Normandie). 7000 ped investment gives vip status on the
Normandie and her affiliated ships (with an annual subscription fee
of 1800ped this equals a ROI of 25,71%, compared to a monthly
subcription fee of 200ped as vip the ROI would be 34,29%, keep in
mind you would get access to all the ships of the fleet as they come
into operation - not just the Normandie). Alternately 3 CLD's for
crewsubscription or 6 CLD's for vip subscription would be accepted
(for comparison - the current average ROI of a CLD can be viewed here
- based on a marketvalue of ~1.2k per deed the actual average ROI
alltime on CLD's would be 21.43%).
Investment Opportunity - revenue share
The second opportunity is to become an investor for a share of revenue generated by the ToS fleet. This is possible with investments of any size up to the current group limit of 300k. In addition to the below listed conditions such an investor would receive free crewstatus if investing more than 12k ped and free vip status if investing more than 20k ped for the time being invested.
50% of the ToS fleet revenue will be payed out to the investors
according to their share of the 300k investment volume of the group.
The ROI in the first year of expansion is to be expected between
7-21% but is highly bound to fluctuate based on further developments
in space and the development of entropia universe as a whole.
There is no supported way in the system to prove/document
daily/monthly or annual income. This will be a trust based
investment - your safety will be my reputation and the fact that i
want this to be successful to support further expansion in future.
I will keep the right to buy you out of your investments, when
preparing stage 2 of the ToS expansion, in this case i will pay an
additional 20% on your invested capital.
The payout of revenue share will be done every 6 months after
joining the investor group.
All investments will be locked up into the fleet for one year.
Withdrawals need to be requested latest 2 months before the year has
passed, otherwise the investment will be prelonged by another year.
Exceptions are possible on a case by case base, but will not be
guaranteed - keep in mind your money will be invested in the growth
of the fleet and therefor needs time to be reliquidated if requested
- either by a deposit of myself, a payout from the revenue or
through the sale of a spacecraft of the fleet.
The ToS Starfleet is taking offers of current privateer/mothership
owners to either sell their ship for peds or a respective share in
the ToS investor group. If becomming part of ToS Starfleet as a
current spacecraft owner you will have the option to apply to remain
the respective ships captain or pilot and will still be able to
utilize the ship for skilling/hunting within the times avaiable in
the ToS schedules and according to the ToS Rules of conduct and also
be able to perform documented warpflights for personal needs if
covering the costs or ressources needed.
The expansion goal for the first stage is the aquisition of 4
spacecrafts and to raise them to secure SI levels where needed
before putting them into operation - thereby growing the entire
fleet into 6 very strong spacecrafts.
Each spacecraft will be assigned to operate one planet (existing
ones and those still to come), with the ToS Normandie running the
main transport route and watching as a guardian over the other ships
of the fleet ready to warp in should any of the ships need help.
All ships of the fleet will run an interconnected flightschedule
allowing passengers a straight flight from and to calypso and
switching between spacecrafts to reach all planets in the universe.
Summoning for all ships will be provided at calypso and for ToS
Normandie on Arkadia, other planets will require passengers to fly
up by shuttle to join the flight until mindark implements a solution
to assign summoning rights to the respective ships captain. Our aim
will be to have motherships with atmospheric departure possibility
for calypso, arkadia and rocktropia plus maybe one other planet and
to run privateers for the remote / less traffic
planets/places(stations (in case mindark opens up some good deep
space hunting grounds in the near future),foma,crystal palace).
Please be aware that the aquisition and upgrade of several
spacecrafts at economical prices as well as getting them to work
operational with a reliable crew that has been trained on the ToS
Normandie before will take time and might exceed the first year of
this investment group even if the needed capita is raised early on.
Therefor the raised investment capita will be held for maximum gains
in CLD's until we can make a good deal in spacecraft aquisition. Any
ROI gained from CLD's will count to the revenue of the ToS fleet and
be redistributed together with the revenue from spacecrafts
according to the conditions of the investor group listed above.
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to contact me for
further info.
*1 - Keep in mind even as an investor you will still have to obide by the ToS rules of conduct while onboard or in the fleets vicinity, failure will result in an payout of the investment within 2 months time without any bonus.
FAQ
Q: If investment is made with CLDs, will a like number of CLDs
be returned when (if) the investor chooses to withdraw? (Great
Dane)
A: Wheter CLDs can be returned or not will depend if the Investor
group is still holding CLDs at the time of withdrawal or if all
money has been invested in spacecrafts. There will be the option for
investors to notify if they would like to receive their CLD's back
at a time of withdrawal so that a certain amount of CLD's can be
kept for such withdrawal requests. This request will need to be put
up when making the investment and can not be changed later on should
market values change.
Q: In case of emergency, lets say you get sick and you dont have
acces to internet and EU, who will be second in charge?
(Babaroga )
A: I have been ingame since i started this service every single day.
I have trustworthy commanding officers in place to keep the service
up should i really become unable to do so and i have one highly
trustworthy person who agreed to take over and manage a respective
payout to investors in case of my death. My account is gold card
secured and i'm the only person with access to it till the moment of
the above mentioned case where the access would shift.
Q: Do you offer any kind of colateral? (Babaroga)
A: This is the next step up from subscriptions just on a larger
scale, it is an trustbased investment in the same form as CLDs which
also hold zero TT value. Your security is the reputation of myself
and the service which has been build up. The subscription service
runs on the trust of many passengers some of which have been
subscribing for a years time upfront.
Q: Will you provide personal info to investors? Or is your
avatar reputation only guarantee? (Babaroga)
A: At this point it is planned to keep this 100% ingame investments,
i already have been in talk with some investors who prefer to keep
their personal info as well. So i have decided to not do realworld
contracts on this stage of the investor group.
Q: Is it possible to invest smaller amounts over time, on a
long-term basis? (Gearate)
A: Yes this is possible. Investments will be counted to each first
of the following month and you can increase your investment once
each month. However the respective lockdown of the investment in the
fleet for one year will count for each new investment separately.
This option also is only possible for as long as there are still
free shares of the 300k limited group avaiable. The above mentioned
investment method is only avaiable for the shares in revenue not for
the free crew or vipstatus - those amounts have to be paid in one
go.
Q: Is it possible to invest as Soc? (Mr-Joey)
A: Yes there is 2 ways in which investments as Soc are possible:
#1: The investment will be registered on the socs name and by the
name of the person submitting the investment on behalf of the soc.
The soc-leader needs to be present to confirm the investment if the
person who is doing the transaction on behalf of the soc is not the
leader. Names and investments put together from soc members for the
investment under a soc tag are managed soc internal. The person
doing the invest on behalf of the soc is elegiable to receive the
benefits of free crewstatus or vipstatus when the respective invest
is met and therefore utilizing ToS Normandie flights to the benefits
of his/her soc. Withdrawal requests can be put up by the socleader
or the beforementioned Responsible. The payout occurs to the person
who made the investment or if that person is no longer member of the
soc to the socleader. Should both persons have changed the current
leader and one officer of the soc need to be present to confirm the
transaction on behalf of their soc. Please be aware that ToS
starfleet is not responsible for how soc internal investor groups
are managed.
#2: Every soc member does their investment straight with me but
mentioning that its a soc investment. The total amount invested by
the soc will be calculated by myself - if the investment sums for
free crew/vip status are met the socleader will be asked to appoint
one person of the soc to receive the benefits. The appointment can
be changed by the socleader once per month. Each member of the soc
will be able to withdraw on their own.
