===== Handling Requests =====

Test Free operates from Dreddit's ''TRAINING'' hangar in the systems listed in the ''Test_Free'' channel in game. If you can park an alt in a staging system that would be really helpful.


==== Ships ====

Requests should be limited to 3 ships or fewer, but generally just use your best judgement based on the situation and our current inventory. There's nothing wrong with giving a dozen ships to a newbro who just moved to our home region with nothing so they have a variety of roles to try. If a ping for something we stock just went out maybe limit it to one at a time. Under most circumstances it's fine to make sure they get at least two ships.

=== Loaner Battleships ===


These are battleships fit for rolling wormholes. The ship names have the ''TF Loaner'' prefix. They are loaned out when we need to destabilize or collapse a wormhole. They are returned to the hangar if they survive, and the base (uninsured) insurance payout should be forwarded to ''Echo Degnar'' if they do not. These are stocked only when we have a sufficient surplus of donated minerals and salvage materials.
==== Skill Books ====

The only real restriction on skill book requests is that each character should request books individually. The skill plans on [[https://skills.pleaseignore.com|skills.pleaseignore.com]] generate shopping lists that can be copied and pasted to make requests easier. If we have the book in the Skill Books can you can hand it out.

Exceptionally expensive skill book donations are stored in the ''Donations''  container. Message ''Echo Degnar''  if somebody requests one of these books.

=== To hand out a book: ===

  - Right-click the stack of books and select ''Unlock Item''
  - Separate a book from the stack
  - Right-click on the stack of books and select ''Lock Item''

This creates entries in the container's Audit Log. The last person to unlock a stack of books is responsible should the books go missing. Always re-lock the stack.

==== Implants ====

This inventory is entirely donated. Test Free does not import more.

We have broken the +1 Implants market in the past. Make sure those who request them know how to swap their implant clones.

=== To hand out an implant: ===

  - Right-click the stack of implants and select ''Unlock Item''
  - Separate an implant from the stack
  - Right-click on the stack of implants and select ''Lock Item''

This creates entries in the container's Audit Log. The last person to unlock a stack of implants is responsible should the implants go missing. Always re-lock the stack.

==== Planetary Command Centers ====

This inventory is entirely donated. Test Free does not import more.

These are to help members get into PI. We're not funding some 50-toon PI Empire startup. Try to limit handing out PI Command Centers to one or two characters per player.

=== To hand out an Command Centers: ===

  - Right-click the stack of command centers and select ''Unlock Item''
  - Separate a command center from the stack
  - Right-click on the stack of command centers and select ''Lock Item''

This creates entries in the container's Audit Log. The last person to unlock a stack of command centers is responsible should the command centers go missing. Always re-lock the stack.

==== Donations ====

Move any loose items in the ''TRAINING'' hangar into the ''Donations'' container.

Message ''Echo Degnar'' for requests from ''Donations'' and they will be handled on an individual basis.

===== Warning =====

It should go without saying that stealing from the alliance is a blacklistable offense, but I'm saying it anyway. Just don't do it. It's not worth it.
