Hey guys. I'm about to drop corp during a war so i can mission a bit. The reason is that I can play only once or twice a week at most and I don't hav eany pvp skills or capabilities.

I had to "Prepare to Leave Corp" and wait 24 hours for my roles to drop. When I leave now will i still be War flagged for 24 more hours?

As soon as you leave the corporation at war, you are no longer a war target.

Just one thing to keep in mind. If you engage in any combat activities the usual 15 minute timers apply. So if you've been in combat with anyone in the hostile corp, they will still be able to shoot you during this timer, even if you've left the corporation.

Your CEO and corpmates will almost certainly appreciate this valuable contribution during the war.

Can you fit tackle mods (warp disruptors/scramblers)?
Can you fit guns/missile launchers?
Can you fly a frigate?

If "yes" to any or all of the above... there ya go... PvP "skills and abilities".

If the corp is decent, they should help with PvP losses (e.g. "here's 5 fully fitted tackle frigs"), so you won't personally be losing any isk...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

You are a bad example to other new players & you should feel bad.

Only takes 12h to a pure newb to fit a thrasher that can gank shuttles, rookie ships and some frigates... err nvm.

I think OP knows this. He just doesn't want to PvP.

As such, you shouldn't be playing EVE, since the entire basis of the game is PvP in either the pure physical PEWPEW form down to cut throat market traders.

Op should find a nice single player structured game and play it over and over again, since that is what dropping a corp to be able to run missions once a week really is. No offense, To each their own. But if this is genuinely what you are looking for, you are eventually going to grow to dislike EVE and find another game.

FC, what do?

Most wars last only days, if I see a high sec war longer then 11 days, someone cannot shut his/her mouth in local.
So sit it out like a man.

And another quitter who leaves corps the moment it gets tough.

I fully agree with this.

War can be good to get rid of the rotten seeds.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

Whilst I don't agree with the OP's attitude, I would point out to the rest of you that Eve is supposed to be a SANDBOX. Yet you all seem to be saying he can only play one particular way.

This is the new Citizen's forum, he is obviously a new player, the question is legit. Yes the war dec drops as soon as you leave corp. Crime and Punishment is that way -> for you trolls.

Do what you want OP. Just be aware that you won't be able to rejoin your old corp for seven days after leaving or until the war dec drops, whichever comes sooner.

Umm, no. He can in fact play however he wants. We're just pointing out to him that he's a terrible person for thinking that way & should probably just stay in a NPC corp instead of developing that habit.

This.

The majority was just pointing out that if you dont want pvp, then dont join player corps.

Also be warned leave too often during hard times and your reputation will follow/haunt you. Other corps may ask you previous corps about you and might reject you for leaving when it gets tough.

Oh yeah I love all these leet pvpers who are all drop corp in a HS war? You wuss!!! Of course most of the posters never mention. Oh yeah I have my hauling alt, my scout alt and my just in case the war gets too hot mission alt. None of which are in their corp during war. That's not to mention the corp hopping that goes on, and the neutral logistics.

Let's face it HS wars suck balls. It's pointless for the defender as the best way to win is almost always to not give the attacker targets. If the average corp fleets up they either get swarmed by the attacker and their neutral reps or the attacker hides in station playing docking games and complains about the odds. (Funny how leet HS pvpers never seem to mind 10 to 1 fights in their favour.) If the leet HS pvper could hack it or wanted a fair fight they'd be in NS, LS or WHs.

As to the OP talk to your corp most likely they are waiting out the attackers and actively not trying to give them kills. They'd rather have you drop corp for a bit than give the other side a kill. Note that if you don't need corp roles in the future you can set yourself to not receive any roles. It what all the leet pvpers do.

1.) I'm not a leet PvP player, actually I'm quite the opposite. Main focus is industry.

2.) I really don't care about HS wardecs. Benefit of living in null-sec.

3.) There are only 3 characters that are out of my mains corp. 1 out of alliance hauler for when we have wardec and 2 cyno alts as it's corp policy to not place all cyno alts in corp (don't make us look bigger then we really are).


But I do agree with you.

HS wars suck. The only targets they go after are (small) defenseless corps. As soon as they find a major force waiting for them they just log off and wait till the war is over themself

Don't think you can judge OP that hastily, without knowing more. A) He's a new player. B) If he's not enjoying the wardec, is that his fault? Or is it his corp's, for not getting him into the war effort? We don't know. C) The corp wardeccing his corp may be flying things that would insta-pop his T1 frig or destroyer as soon as it undocked. D) This is EVE, everybody has the right to do whatever the hell they want to do.

A. True, he's a new player. I don't think anyone's holding this against him, and is trying to show him he's got the "skills" for some pew. Hell, he's a missioner -- he definitely has better combat skills than I did at his age (I focused on mining). Redacted as he's from 2010.
B. It's his ("leave so I can mission") and his corp's as well (where are his free lolships??)
C. Might be. His corp should find allies (assuming they're the defenders).
D. Correct ... but the people staying "stick with the corp" are all pointing out the very EVE thing of "your past decisions can haunt you".

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
