How are we going to achieve this?
Good management, organisation, structure and communications. The UKC has adopted a ‘role-play’ scenario based on RL business and corporation development. The building blocks include; management structure and leadership, a charter, strategy, organisation, excellent communication mechanisms and – above all – a unified passion for the corporation. Whether you prefer production or mining, research or mission, PvP or hunting or even if you want to remain a freelancer, the UKC has created an environment and framework for you to achieve your goals and enjoy the full spectrum of EVE game-play.

So what is the UKC trying to achieve?
Ultimately, the UKC wants to be the best all round member only corporation in EVE. The UKC understands that many of its members will want more responsibility, more game-play and want more access to the EVE features. Recognising this, the UKC infrastructure is fluid and encourages members to take initiatives, develop roles and take leadership responsibilities. ‘Sister' corporations (divisions) specialising in various streams based on the current state of the game allow the UKC to be diverse and offer a variety of game-play to all its members.
