Everyone has been usually nice to you in this thread, and I don't understand why.

It sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you want out of EVE. Unless I missed it, you haven't actually stated what you're looking for out of a corp and instead are just floating around trying to stumble onto something good in the recruitment channel. I thought at first you might be looking for a PvP corp but it's abundantly clear from your posts you have very little, if any, experience with any form of PvP whether it is in null, low, or high-sec. Then I thought you might be an industrialist/miner but you scoff at corps that even mention the word "industry".

The sad part is you said you've been playing since 2004. It's been nine years and you still haven't figured it out.

P.S. - Starfleet Enterprises is a terrible and desperate corp, as you can see from their attempts at recruiting you from this thread
P.P.S. - in-game recruitment channel is where the trashbin corps of EVE find recruits

Well good sir, you have given me quite the lashing! I am looking for an "influence" corp? A corp with a cause if you will. PVP is a means to an end. Industry and PVE is a more boring means to an end. Okay so I don't have a kill board that is a mile long. I would develop one in a heartbeat if it had a cause behind it. You see, the cause is more important to me. I don't mind mining an asteroid field or two if the minerals built the battleships that would topple a huge alliance. Yes I have been playing a while I've had some good runs, meet some people, and done a lot of learning. Now I know what I want, and I don't find it in the corps that are out there.

You will run into a lot of terrible organizations that fall under 2 and 3 unfortunately unless you choose to build it yourself that's EVE. You can tell culture by talking to and interacting with people in the organization you are looking into.

Posting is too hard for many people. They'd rather belive whatever theory people spread on forums than see things for themself.

It doesn't help that most forums would qualify as superfund sites if the EPA knew about them.

Some forum feels like panning for gold in a tar pit.

In null you can have industrial corps that are not that experienced in pvp and it's ok, pvp guys need stuff and in return industrials need some protection.


BS. "Industrial" corps are a liability, full of whiners who insist that they are more special than "mere" PvPers because they bought some BPO's. Then they build drakes and put them on the market for Jita price, and claim that they are "helping the alliance". But god forbid you dare ask one to get in a frigate with a point on it, you'll never hear the end of it. These little princesses don't have those skills at all, no no,12 hrs training time is too much of a sacrifice "for the alliance"

Ya know what? I own a rorqual. Level 4 boosts. When I have my implant clone installed, my mining lasers reach out and touch rocks 28km away, with a cycle time around 100 secs. And yet I also have maxxed gunnery skills. When a neutral jumps in system I park my industrial ships, hop in my zealot, my falcon or my sabre, and go blap the crap out of them. I fly fleet doctrine ships on every CTA. I'm always happy to provide my black ops battleship to hot drop people.

And I don't go around claiming that I'm "helping the alliance" by selling people stuff they can buy elsewhere in greater quantity, and selling it for a profit.

Anyone who calls himself an "industrial" player is a bad, useless EVE player. Then there are good EVE players, who can build things in-between roams, and very much enjoy PvP. There is nothing I can't mine or build. I can do everything the industrial player can. But I can also PvP. The industrial player can't do that. At all.



While I tend to agree with what you are saying especially about getting your arse into a PvP tackle frig at least, you are being a little harsh on these people.

Many people have methods of getting stuff into Null from Jita but it is just so damned nice to have a MARKET where you are in Null. It's just nice to be able to click on the market, find and buy stuff and it is THERE, RIGHT NOW. If you have a market where you are it is easy to forget this. Having an industrialist gathering up the raw materials and making stuff out of it to sell even at Jita prices is helping the alliance/blues that have station access because they provide this and when I need it - it is damned nice to have. In addition, industrialists buy salvage and raw materials that you can unload rather than having to ship it back to Hisec to sell.

So, while they are not the most impactful people on helping the alliance around...I *DO* want them around. :)
