Shares work in two ways:
- They give you a regular monthly income from the dividend payouts (and)
- They are an investment in the sense that you can resell them at the value
you bought at, perhaps higher, if it is a good investment. Share from the last
Outpost IPO rose by over 50% in under 3 months.
4. How do I buy shares?

any of the brokers at the EGSE can broker
share trades for you.
This is to stop players scamming each other.

After the initial IPO, no further shares will be issued. This is protected by
in-game mechanics as Issuing additional shares requires a vote by all current
share holders.

Multiple revenue streams will be used to generate revenue based on available
game mechanics.
At this time they include:

- Clone Contracts
- Renting moons in the solar system to prospective POS operators

Just dock and hit 'rent office'
13. How is the risk of the Outpost being taken from the ISS be reduced?
The outpost is supported by the neighbouring alliances, both because they are
shareholders in ISSCA. In terms of security, sovereignty of the system containing
the outpost will be ensured by a heavily defended group of POS. Management of
the POS will be performed by ISS management corporations (ISS Logistics, ISS
Navy Task Force, ISS Operations, ISS Cassini Outpost Corporation and Moon rentals).
14. Who defends the station?
The outpost system will be heavily fortified with POS. ISS Navy Task Force will
defend the system along with mercenaries on an as needed basis. It is also in
capital ship jump range of ISS Borealis. Furthermore, both <D2> and <BOB>
alliances have agreed not to interfere with the stations operations.

disrupting the operations of the outpost (see next faq).

corporations or alliances will be set to -ve standings and incur either penalty

- Accepting or Initiating Mercenary contracts against
the ISS
- Setting -ve standings towards the ISS

22. What happens to my ISK if you don't sell all the shares?
You will continue to receive a dividend regardless.
23. What happens if you need to change policy on any of the investment critical
FAQ?
It will be put to a shareholder vote.
24. So if this is so great, why doesn't the ISS just buy all the shares?
If we had enough ISK we would!
But seriously, two reasons:
- Shares need to be sold to the neighbouring alliances and the broader eve community
for stability
- The ISS alone doesn't have enough ISK.
25. Can I install a jump clone in the station?
Yes. All corporations who have neutral or positive standings with ISS can apply
for +1 standings with the Outpost corporation to make it possible to use the
outpost for clone jumping. This has a one-time 25m administration fee for either
your entire corporation or as an individual pilot.
The Rebirth service is meant to help local industrial corporations manage their day-to-day operations in the Northern Regions. Each application will be evaluated on a case pr. case basis with special attention to possible military abuse of jump cloning. ISS cassini Outpost will reserve the right to turn down applications or cancel clone privileges without explanations.
26. What are the key differences between the ISS Cassini and the ISS Borealis/ISS
Marginis/ISS Providence Outposts?
The specific differences are:
- Cassini is already built, the previous ISS Outposts raised funds prior to
construction.
- Cassini is located immediately in a choke-point 0.0 to 0.5 system, so will
has lots of traffic.
- Cassini will immediately start with high monthly office fees, securing a large
part of the monthly dividends.
- Cassini has no docking fees, to promote market trade
- Cassini will have moons in the solar system rented to prospective POS operators.
