EVE General Discussion

The problem with a 'nomad' corp is that someone would wardec it.. The only reason I'm in a corp right now is to dodge the taxes, if I were to be war decced then my crop would go poof. Arguably the NPC corps are Nomad Player Corps.

But I can see it, 'Space Gypsies' or something. 'Pirates of the Kharma Being' maybe (yes, that was a corp of mine at one point).

Acquire Orca/Freighter
Bring along items/ships in other ship
Fly your mobile base

Profit!

I have one main base for my char, where I keep a lot of stuff. I also fly around and explore with my Orca. Good times.

perhaps make an alt and poke your head into a few corps, see if they are worth even trying. Then maybe bring in your main.

Although, currently your not tied down to logging in and camping a systems (+1), you're not stuck bashing POS (+1), you're not bound down to one system (+1).

do what makes you happy. If you feel like you need more human interaction, perhaps your gaming style might be able to attract new people into a corp you are about to start.

A few observations.

One is that there is no reason, if you are playing solo, to be in a NPC corp. Peeps seldom dec one man corps. Even if they do all you need to do is use your 2 alts that come with your account to create 2 different corps. Your main than joins one. If that corp gets decced, move your main to the other one. Just quitting and creatign a new corp works as well, but I assume you came up with a neat name or something or just don't want to move stuff around.

I also spent much time corp hopping when I first started. Every corp I joined either fell apart or didn't do a damned thing...or wanted to exploit you in some way while offering little or nothing in return. For example, joining an 'industrial' corp where you have 10% tax but you are not allowed access to any blueprints...and they won't build anything for you at any better price than just buying it off the market.

I've been told I am crazy...because I want to belong to an organization in which I get some benefit for what I give up....so I went corp to corp and finally stopped because it was pointless and made me look suspicious.

So, I took a break from corps for awhile, created my 1 man corp...got wardecced a couple months later and so created the 2 corp thing I mentioned above. It works well.

I tried building my own corp but it seemed about 60% of possible recruits were just spies/corp thieves. Of the remaining 40%, virtually all of them were newbs. I don't mind helping newbs but it seemed once they got trained...they left. Much effort for no gain even if that gain was companionship in a corp.

I eventually found a good corp. Not perfect, but good and stuck with them for over a year now. However, 99% of the corps out there recruiting are crap.

A Second observation is that when I did this, I was very nomadic. I also didn't like crap everywhere. However, there is an easy way to consolodate. There are a large number of peeps out there that will courier for you. Just pick a station (Like Jita 4-4) and make courier contracts to move your crap there. They don't charge all that much and is certainly better than hauling it yourself. You can lead a nomadic life and 'clean up' without much effort every few weeks.
