there are 8 Corporation HQs in the X-verse...

go to any one of them, and take an official (the one marked with the HQ name) mission... that will start you on your way... note that some need a little thought... but all are ultimately do-able...

And some corporations seem to insist on not giving you work, for unknown reasons... Dukes Buccaneers is an example, then sometimes OTAS seems to hate me, and sometimes Strong Arms...

Did anyone figure out what are the requiremtns to start working for a corporation?

PTNI rewards:

5-Mineral Specialist -> Vulture Prototype
8-Nividium Specialist -> Kite Vanguard

Not sure about next one, but as far as i know its:

11-Hero of Profit -> Enchanced Kea

I guess that one's not overtuned so it'll only do 120m/s instead of the 160m/s for the Tormented Teladi start. Not a bad ship though.

Who knows? Maybe it is overtuned? Still i guess ill need to learn to script/mod/analize cat/dat files to learn what are the pre-req for corp to give you missions... since no one seems interested...

I've seen it said that most of the reward ships are overtuned to a random amount (but haven't completed any, so could be being misled!).

OTAS gives their M4 Solano, M3 (Venti?) and M6 as rewards, in that order.

I have just completed the 4th OTAS mission to protect the Ore Mine in Nopileos' Memorial, and my Contractor ranking increased by a mere 10 percent to 80 :cry:

This is unlike the race ranks which can increase by 50 percent to retrieve a ship.

I've been working on getting OTAS rep, but that will stop, since the grind is hard and I can just buy their ship since it's linked to argon rank.

You can't buy the two m3s. You get the Venti as a reward but you must find & force to bail the Notus Hauler. I found only 1 Notus Hauler so far and it was with a rather Argon task force (1 Heavy Centaur + some 30 Novas and the Notus) that was cruising through pirate sectors.
I'm still missing some OTAS ships that are supposed to exist, the Eurus (m4), Astraeus Hauler (m7), Sirokos (m7) and the Auster Hauler (m8). Anyone seen them around?

You also get the Heavy Centaur Prototype from Plutarch Mining Corporation.

Haven't had any 'official' Duke's Buccaneers missions yet, but have managed to turn all his ships and a load of other pirates blue... Was entertaining taking a build mission offered at the HQ for that unknown sector, knowing that his (then red) Zeus, and a Pirate Galleon where on gate duty!!

Arrrgh! You mean I could have sold some of those 'unique' ships I have been hauling around for three game days and got the corporation rewards when I felt like it? Post PHQ, basically... Arrrgh again! My Elephant is going for the nearest shipyard on a selling mission...
