EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hey all, im a trial player and willing to continue playing this game as i am amazed with the vast knowledge and community it holds. I was just wondering however if it would be possible for me to join a corp as a newbie player. I am mainly looking for the pvp aspect of this game and as a total noob im not sure whether id be useful for any corp, let alone for pvp purposes. I obviously have very low sp (250k) however i am eager to learn a lot more in this game and i think a corp with some mentors especially oriented for pvp purposes could help me greatly. So do i have any chance with joining corps and learning from advanced players? Thanks

Yes. There are many new player friendly corps. Including those of the PvP kind.

Also a good corp will not look at just your SP but also at what you as a player has to bring (so a good attitude will open more doors then just having SP).

Some examples but there are many more:

* Brave Newbies Inc. - Nullsec corp/alliance that is very new player friendly.
* RvB (Blue Republic / Red Federation) - EVE's version of consentual PvP. 2 corps always at war with each other under a limited amount of rules and often also team up together against 3rd parties. Though not a real PvP teaching community they are VERY new player friendly.
* EVE-Uni - EVE's unofficial official training corp. Been around for ages, has thought many other capsuleers how to survive and thrive in New Eden.



Then other options:

* Agony Unleashed - They run EVE PvP classes with the next BASIC being on 30 Dec.
* Redemption Road's Newbro Roam - Free ships are handed out, which are then used on a PvP roam (which starts slower to first do some 'tutorial' stuff) but ends in a load of fun and destruction.

All of the above responses are spot on.

You will also be able to pick and choose from the different areas of New Eden to play in: High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, Wormhole Space, etc... There are new player friendly corporation everywhere in New Eden.

Join in, be social, and shoot something!

In all honesty, my corporation would bar you from direct entry. But.

We would set standings for you allowing you to operate on NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It) protocol within Fleets you can find in your fleet finder. Admission to our corporation requires a subbed account and Teamspeak 3 for PVP however. With us, you do fly for a cause even if there are no CTA's, and confirm to a certain level of corp security. We wish to wish to recruit people who have at least some dedication to the game, and feel a subbed account and comms capacity is a low bar of entry.

That being said, we are everything but "elite" and SP is never an issue, only your mentality. Many people in what we call our "Fleet Pool" ended up being long-term members of the corporation.

Hey again! Thanks a lot for the responses. I have checked a few corps mentioned here and i guess it makes more sense to join a corp designed for newbie players as they are already devoting their resources to noobs like me. I have to agree with couple of points here; yes i am willing to sub to to the game however only if i can find a nice corp to join cause otherwise the game does not seem to offer much. As i have a busy life outside as well i may not devote huge hours into the game so it might be better to join a larger corp where my disappearence from time to time wont matter much.
In terms of spying and etc, oh dear hehe i know the game offers a lot but by no means i could be a spy now but that could also be another reason to join a big newbie corp as noone will suspect


In terms of pvp, ive mostly enjoyed small gang even solo pvp in other mmos and it could be a lot of fun here as well. Ganking scamming and piracy also sound fun too on the paper but im not sure how they work out.
Anyways thanks a lot for the replies.

Hey Sabriz,

Thanks for the input - I clearly see and agree with your point, however let's not digress from the topic here, as my intention when creating this topic was to ask for some advice, rather than being hired by a corp directly from here.

As I said, it seems a better idea to join a big newbie corp such as the ones mentioned above in-game, and be part of their teaching/mentoring programme (if any), rather than being a burden to the corporation. I am willing to learn about this game, and i want to have fun in doing that, I really do not have the time to wait for ages to get some action. I really don't care if I am for instance used specifically as bait (as mentioned above) at start, as long as I am playing the game with/learning from friendly players.
Thanks

Just a friendly reminder to keep recruiting to a bare minimum or where absolutely necessary (Eve Uni, etc.) to help with new folks.

Other than that, welcome aboard Draas and we hope you enjoy New Eden! Lots of good advice here, take it and learn from it! Just like a Reese's, there's no wrong way to play EVE.
