I just declined a corp. They started talking down to me like I might not be worthy and that they were a an elite squad. They were trying to sell me on their corp which seemed just like every other corp out there and far from what I really wanted. I feel like I was rude to them when I told them thanks for the consideration and left the chat.

lol I know huh, but then I'd have to recruit. But I might have to because what I'm looking for seems non existent.

Most PvP corps also rat and mine, although they do not advertise this. Ratting and mining are reliable and regular sources of income. The difference is that mining corps mine for "profit", whereas the PvP corps accumulate wealth to spend on ships to kill people with.

Almost all PvPers started out as carebears which is why we particularly can't stand those self-inflated "I'm an industrialist I'm special you must protect me" types. I can do what they do, but they can't do what I do.

Tricky question ...

I'm currently rebuilding my corp after a two-years break, we're quite small at the moment, and more focused on mining/building/missioning, but we have plans to expand to Wormhole space "soon-ish" ...

Please come to our public channel, NYINC, talk to us, and see if our "feel" is what your want.

Last note : we're EU players, that could change things for you.

i ve been in guild/company/group of players for the past 5 years in various MMO games - usually built around the fact we were from the same country

when i started eve i was looking for something similar but there was always something in the way,wheter it was inactivity or SP requirements so i said fck it and made my own corp. - and i dont regret it tbh,probably the best way is to make your own corp. to dodge taxes (huehue) and keep looking,sooner or later you will find one that will suit your playstyle

This.

Much as I lament training those mining skills early on, I do get the itch to build my own ratting ammo now and then (well, not since I got that 100km beam Oracle, but whatever...)

Right I was just highlighting the cooperation aspect of a corp like that, but yeah those "{I am an industrialist" types belong in an NPC corp.

Isn't every corp doing this though? And it would never work out I am on the West coast of the USA.

Well we're a nullsec corp and our "goal" is to take some space.

http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Verite/influence.png

We're those two little regions in the bottom right that says red alliance.

Our allaince has been around since 2005 so we've been around a long time. We're willing to take in new players if you want to get into nullsec and help us reclaim our lost home.......

So yeah pop by the in game channel "SF PUB" to apply. 07

Also our main focus is pvp.

if your worried about foiling your corp history, use an alt to out source the good from the bad. Activity on comms, and people beeing around to help/do fleets is always a healthy sign. It all depends on what your after.

This is one of the reasons I dont like the current corps. They are related to professions not any kind of goal. I read a while back that there was a corp that would purposely fly into gate camps to break them up. They would scout the camp, and then bring a fleet in to destroy the whole thing. I thought to myself that this was one of the most awesome ideas for a corp. I haven't seen anything ike it in a while.


Consider this. Your corp's goal is to inhabit and exploit lowsec system X, which is a crossroads system. Someone wants to haul in some POS fuel but there are two nasty pirates on the gate. You and a few corpies hop into your favourite PVP fits to teach them a lesson. The situation isn't that uncommon. If I'd want to find such a corp I'd probably look for a lowsec system that has a few people in it from the same corp, interact with them a bit, maybe do a friendly fight. It helps to have a clear idea on what your own goals are, and what situations you can expect in the different secs. Oh, and absolutely get on voice comms with people. Voice is such a huge difference in EvE's social aspect.

So I tried to join a corp and they said my corp history was bad. I've only been in 1 other corp. It was a poorly run corp, but dang 0.0 politics is crazy. It is impossible to find a "good" corp in this game.
