Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Frequently Asked Quesitons:

Q: What skillsets are you currently very interested in (updated: 8-9)?
A: With the move to Sov, we are definitely looking for:

• All Capital and Super pilots. Titan owners - contact a Director in direct convo.
• Manufacturers, miners and ratters/anom runners
• Mains with Jump Freighter alts
• Black Ops and Cov Ops w/ Cyno V skill
• Planetary Interaction fans
• Those wanting to help lead and manage others

Q: I've seen your comments on how you don't approve of scamming and ganking, but I've seen other Brave members doing that. If I want to learn how to scam, gank, safari, or or other "evil" activities, can I still join?
A: If you want to learn to spy on the enemy, sow discord in their ranks, and commit subterfuge in enemy leadership with corp support, yes absolutely join. That said, scamming, ganking, and griefing Highseccers is prohibited in Thrall Nation (the only exception is ganking HS alt-corps of our enemy, but that's a whole different ball of wax). If you want to learn that trade, I suggest posting in the Crime and Punishment forums, looking at websites like www.minerbumping.com, or asking in recruiting channels to find the right corp for you.

Q: I'm a newbie and can't do much. If I join, how can I get down to Sov?
A: First off: this is EVE. It feels like you can't do much when you are new, but we'll change that belief! EVERYONE can make a difference in BRAVE fleets.
The fastest, simplest and best way to get here is to death clone (make sure your clone is upgraded, set your medical clone to our office in Sov, and explode your pod to instantly arrive in Sov). Once there, get with an Officer or Director for help with ships, isk, etc. Once you feel settled in and start to get an idea of how things work, get in fleets, make ISK, get kills, and HAVE FUN!
Also, take advantage of the Brave Dojo - a service and chat channel set up for newbies of all ages. Free stuff is awesome!

Q: I'm a trader at heart. How can I make ISK?
A: Man, how can you NOT? Sov is lacking one thing that everyone else takes for granted - NPC stations with trade! Every skillbook, T2 everything, materials, strippers - EVERYTHING is needed down in Catch to help your fellow HERO members (and make a shiny ISKie for yourself, to boot).

Q: What should I have shipped down?
A: The bare essentials that you want to have on hand should be staged at Mendori IX-9 - Imperial Armaments before joining corp. Once you join you will have access to more information to have your stuff shipped down cheaply. As with any Sov situation, you should learn to live out of a suitcase down here. Don't bring anything you aren't prepared to evacuate or sell in the rare situation that we are evicted. As much as I don't foresee that happening, I believe in good planning and not blind luck.

Q: I'm still not sure if Thrall is right for me when picking a sister corp in BRAVE. What more can you tell me?
A: To be blunt, we're big on having the more mature and professional personalities here. We like to talk in comms and corp chat, but don't **** it up. We like to discuss and debate different ideas, but always in a friendly, open manner with respect to other's ideas. We love having fun, but never at the expense of anyone's enjoyment of the game. For example, by all means we encourage killing the enemy in glorious fashion, taking their POCOs, and rolling through their Sov, but we'll always give a hearty " 7o GF! " in local - even if we lost the fight and they are yelling racist remarks about our mother's hypothetical lovers. Classy behavior is encouraged above all else.
If you're unsure, I would still hop in our "Join Thrall" recruitment channel and just ask about the sister corps, or ask questions in general. If my recruiters feel that Thrall may not be your best fit, they are supposed to point you to a sister corp that you'd have more fun in.

Q: What are your biggest, personal pet peeves?
A: A few things, most of which I will never hold against a corp member (but do make me cringe):

• Forgetting to put booze, coffee, or a stripper in my cargo bay before welping.
• Terrible and lazy spelling and proper grammar. I understand that not everyone is strong in language skills, but c'mon, you've got spellcheck on EVERYTHING now. Grrrrr.
• People who troll. Get a life - if people are idiots, they'll open their mouths and show it to the world. They don't need your help. The rest of us are actually trying to discuss issues that affect us all.
• Making "your game" out to be "the only game". EVE is an MMO that benefits from increasing the paying subscription base. I don't care if you hate SOV Blocs, or hate carebears, or hate BLOBs, etc etc... Don't make it your goal to run people off. Rarely do I take a hard line on an issue, but this is one I don't let up on typically.

Q: You obviously run The Coffee Rocks website. I want to write an article, or add a guide, or just have something small to contribute! How can I get that done?! And, well, I don't know if it's good enough...?
A: I ALWAYS need help, and love people who want to contribute anything that helps promote EVE, helps players play the game better, or helps the site get more content! Contact me in game through EVE mail (Don't open conv w/ me, I'll open with you please) or through the 'write for us' page!

Thrall!

It's a great time to join and many of you are! A hearty welcome to all the new pilots.

" This is the best corp I've ever been in on any toon. You guys are pretty damned cool. Thanks for [all the advice], I've learned soooo much. I honestly didn't expect everyone in corp (and brave) to be so approachable and help teach me, llike, EVERYTHING." - Jack the GiantSlayer

"I thought Faction Warfare was fun sometimes. BRAVE is so much more fun. I've never seen so many frig frights in a row. I thought you big guys never flew frigs and destroyers lol" - Carni Val

(Talking to a newer member who asked to help in H/R Department)
Me: "But seriously, did you want to help be a Recruiter?"
Thraseus: "Yah! I've got nothing but good things to say about Thrall and Brave."

You people really get me right in my emotions. <3
