Fleets get the screenshots, but somebody has to mine the ore, build the hulls, run the planets and haul it all home. This is a salute to the TNF pilots who keep the hangars full.
The builders
Maggy Lee is our patient builder. In the summer of 2025 she researched where best to do blueprint research and copying, hunted for blueprint copies, and in August finished a months-long project: the first T2 frigates gifted to the corp. She also hauls for others ("If anyone needs something let me know") and never forgets to say thanks: "once again Kloria we owe you a big thank you!!!"
SadisticSloth is the corp's most prolific industry voice. He asked to join anyone who could boost a mining op on his days off, spent the summer of 2025 expanding into his own booster production and asked for help building a tracking system to see whether his builds were really paying off. When the corp moved house he was simply "happy to help. its the least i can do."
Kloria hauls for everyone. During the June 2025 move he ran a hauling service for corpmates: "if I accepted your contract to move your stuff, your stuff has been delivered." He also writes up mining boost guides for anyone who asks.
Motty 007 opened up blueprint research and copying to the corp in July 2025 ("have at it") and is a practical voice on planetary industry, pointing the "lazy among us" to easy P1 and P2 income. He also mines ice and boosts, and once stayed up so late helping someone that he went straight to bed afterwards.
Malcolm Galora went from miner to manufacturer in February 2026, posting "baby's first industry endeavor" and planning a library of T1 modules. He shares planetary industry templates generously and admits his favourite setups are the "nice and lazy" ones.
xXchochiXx chased down pyerite for a build in August 2026, offered spare build materials to corpmates at a friendly price and in September celebrated a long-awaited planetary industry sale.
Meowlicious is the newest builder on the list: in October 2026 he started building up researched blueprints and asked for the best tools to plan it.
The planet farmers
Planetary industry has a fan club in TNF, and August 2025 produced one of the best threads in corp-industry. Anhenka asked whether spreading planets out was worth the effort, then shared how launch groups make refreshing a dozen characters painless, and later called three weeks of PI "absolutely worth the hassle". Galan Kodeis chimed in with hard-won advice (chasing the most valuable outputs "was a bit of a trap") and shared his favourite template set. Jekktarr offered the winning tip: build what sells in volume, like the fuel block materials, rather than what looks most valuable.
The miners
Lex Ashwari-Thrace, our Krabmaster Field General, is the corp's mining alarm clock, calling everyone to rich ore fields with "if you wish to join me you are all more than welcome, I will be running boosts". He also hands out mining fits to anyone who asks, including Trajon Thrax.
AexisKae keeps the field reports coming ("second rock out for 4 hours, third rock coming in 3:20") so others can join in, and helps newer miners do the maths on crystals.
Ardagan Fatal jumped into corp-mining within days of joining in September 2026, asking where to mine and adding, in the most TNF line of the year: "kinda dont like to be alone so what's your preferred system?"
Malcolm Galora deserves a second mention for an ice find in February 2026 ("Ice Malcolm! Congrats", said Lex) and for fending off a persistent interceptor with his drones: "he eventually gave up, drones are a hell of a thing."
The haulers
Marri02 admits he is "a total noob in regards of industry and hauling", but his logistics advice is gold: make a shopping list, load it into multibuy at the market, and let the alliance freight service do the rest.
Sheesh, exploration, mining, next thing you know market transactions are going to have a chance to escalate to an opportunity to mug a tax collector.
