Double-Down, a thriving, wormhole-based PvP corporation, is currently doing limited recruiting for select USTZ PvP capable pilots. We prefer to recruit small groups at a time so we can spend time getting everyone's personalities acquainted and primary skillsets figured out, rather than recruiting hordes of noobs.


About Us

Double-Down is a member of the Narwhals Ate My Duck alliance, which is a wormhole mercenary alliance spanning all timezones and handles PvP contracts in w-space. We live with our fellow alliance corporations in a class 5 wormhole that we all just call Home.

Since we live with our alliance friends, our members can participate in PvP or PvE opportunities in virtually any timezone, including EU and AUS. Our corporation itself is most active during the mid- to late-US timezones, between 20:00 hours and 04:00 hours (server time).

If you are looking to live in w-space and participate primarily in small- (5-10 pilots) to mid-sized (15-30 pilots) fleets, with the occasional 30-100 man w-space blob, then Double-Down and our alliance, Narwhals Ate My Duck, can provide you the opportunities and freedoms to play the game how you want.


What Double Down Offers PvPers

A Variety of Challenging PvP Combat Opportunities

Wormholes give you the ability to experience any type of combat you want. We regularly have openings to both lowsec and nullsec k-space systems which can be freely roamed. We also have a persistent connection to another class 5 wormhole, which we regularly collapse and cycle to look for fleets to ambush or lucrative wormholes to invade and evict or ransom for billions of ISK to split between ourselves. We also occasionally coordinate with other w-space and nullsec alliances for joint-alliance w-space PvP operations. We also run black-ops gangs on a weekly to bi-weekly basis.

Excellent Fleet Doctrines

Our fleets are generally deadspace and faction-fit armor or shield T3 fleets with Logistics and Bhaalgorn/Neuting Legion support. We also run shield nano-gangs with tier 3 battlecruisers and logistics and skirmish pick-up groups mixed of various types of combat ships, like HACs, recons, Scimitars, faction cruisers, battlecruisers, HICs, and interdictors.

The Narwhals Ate My Duck Mercenary Alliance

Through our alliance, we occasionally work with and against the biggest names in w-space, all for the sake of having some good w-space engagements and to make our killboard nice and green (or sometimes red, but that’s all part of the game). Here is a link to our Alliance killboard.

Unlimited ISK Making PvE Opportunities

To put it frankly, you can easily make as much ISK as you need to fly and fit any ship or buy any account or mod you want, and it takes little effort besides the willingness to do it, and we can show you how. We provide ISK making opportunities during your PvP downtimes in a variety of ways. You can make multiple billions of ISK per week flying with us.


Minimum Application Requirements

  • A full API submission is required for all accounts joining. We will also want to see killboard links.

  • Pilots must have at least 60 million skill points, primarily in combat oriented skills, on at least one account. Exceptions can be made for multi-racial logistics V pilots.

  • Armor and shield damage-specific compensation skills must be at least level IV.

  • Recruits must have the ability to pilot a T3 cruiser in a valid armor and shield configuration. An exception can be made for pilots that can fly any two of the following: Basilisk, Guardian, Scimitar with at least Logistics IV.

  • You have to be on comms anytime you are in-game to stay involved in both corporation and alliance operations. Anything important going on will be relayed through comms, so failing to be on it could result in negative consequences.

  • You must be a self-starter, not someone that sits waiting for someone else to scan out the wormhole chain or to start PvE ops when nothing is going on. Everyone in the corp is expected to work with one another and with other alliance members without special direction from leadership.

  • You must be willing to scan, which generally requires having Astrometrics 4, or preferably 5, and having the other astrometric support skills at levels 4 or 5. Practically every PvP fight we get could not have happened without the help of, in many cases, multiple skilled probers.

  • The ability to fly a dreadnought, triage carrier (req. Logistics V), or an effective remote repair carrier (and cybernetics V) will be a big plus. Armor is preferred but shield capitals are used occasionally as well. If capitals are your primary concern, consult with our leaderships and we can answer in more specifics.

  • Ambitious and capable pilots that can act as a Fleet Commander for PvP operations, including having specializations in nullsec or lowsec are also always a plus.

Lots of activity lately. We completed three or four separate w-space merc contracts this weekend and had several very pleased clients.

We've had several very capable recruits lately. We are still looking to recruit another 5-10 pilots, preferably in the EU timezone to make our professional ISK printers in the UK more busy. We also tend to find the most capital ganks during the UK TZ for some reason, much to my chagrin being in the US TZ Sad

We've recruited several new members that are fitting in really well during the USTZ.

Feel free to join 'DDWN Pub' and we'll be happy to answer any pre-recruitment questions you might have about living in w-space, how to support yourself, our common PvP fleets, etc.

We are still recruiting pilots on a case-by-case basis. If you are primarily USTZ and meet the general criterion above, come by DDWN Pub for a chat. Some of our most recent members are absolute hero pilots, so our recruiting drive has been very successful this far.
