Any new Logistics corps or new players interested in Logistics?

I'm looking either to work with a small logistics corp or to meet some new players i might assist into a Logistics career. If anyone has any interest or knows of a corp with this focus please can you let me know here or eve mail me in game.

EDIT : For those not in the know, Logistics is the name in EvE given to ships who's primary role is to heal other ships and provide them with other necessary boosts. Being in a Logistics gang can really put you in the middle of the action and is always a required specialization.

I don't think there are Logistic only corporations, but any corporation of pvpers will be happy to have a logistic pilot.

^ This.

Why would a corp only consist out of logistics. This means they can't get fights, which in term means they don't need healing people.

Join a PvP corp and they will love you, as logistics-players are one of the hardest to find.

You didnt learn to read. He clearly states he is talking about logistics as in the healing ship types.

I would suggest looking at the Recruitment section of the forums and see if you can find something you like there.

But as stated there are no just pure remote logistics corporations.

It's a big game, there are corps for everything. Especially since i post in the new players forum there is a much higher chance of finding some little niche corp trying to make it in a universe they don't yet understand :) There are plenty of new corps dedicated to all kinds of wierd and whacky things purely because new players aint bitter enough to say "well we wont get gf's if we just fly repair ships". They just say "if we fly repair ships i bet we can just contract ourselves out like all those new player Miner Defence corps".

Unlikely maybe, but to state that there are NO healer corps seems like a bit of a sweeping statement there Mr ISD man, especially amongst new players.

So my question stands, unlikely tho i realise a real answer is.

It would be sorta funny having Red Cross Mercenary Corp....

However, what the others said. Join any corp as a logistic pilot and you will be worshipped

(Important skills: Logi 5, 2 races cruiser 5, armor rep 5, shield rep 5, energy something (cap transmition) 5, cap regen thingy @5 and cap size).

Oh i see what might be the confusion. I don't want to join a Logistics corp, i want to hire one. Or at least hire any small group of players who already have some interest and training in Logistics.

Obviously since im asking in New Player forums i'm not looking for cap chained supercarriers or even T2. More a passing interest in routing out some of these diamonds in the rough at an early age :)

Hope that sorts things out. The existance of a dedicated Logi corp is beside the point.

i bet a dedicated logi corp, who sold its pilots out by the hour would make money :3

Truth be told, outside EVE logistics IS hauling, it's just that CCP chose dumb names for ship classes :)

Not sure how much luck you're going to have, since the only serious logis right now belong to jaded high-SP characters (like me) who price their time at "why the hell should I help you?" I have personally refused to play logi/security for a lowsec mining corp because:

  1. It is incredibly boring to do that. At least when mining, you have to push F1 to turn your lasers back on sometimes.
  2. It is completely ineffective. Logistics and defending forces are easy to scout out, so easy to bring overwhelming force to kill both the miners and the support. Additionally, miners can (or could) often be killed in the first few seconds, not giving logi much time to react. It would be more effective to sit there cloaked in jamming ships and simply jam any attackers, but... that's even more boring and SP-intensive.
  3. They were offering 20 mil ISK per hour... for a whole 10-man defense force.


More helpfully, I recommend posting to some of the Eve "business" subforums (Want Ads & Trades maybe?), where there are actually people willing to sell their services. Try to also find others offering (or asking others) to do the same thing to gauge a price point. Then, make an offer. It's going to be expensive, though. For risking a logistics ship and for taking up the time and attention of a logi pilot, I wouldn't expect any less than 30-40 mil ISK per hour per logi ship fielded.

Good luck!

Yet, I haven't seen any logi corp.

For 1 reason. PvP players don't want to rely on out of corp hired guns for logi. Who says they will actually rep you, who says they won't rep the enemy etc. etc.

Be ignorant, sorry if it sounds blunt, but this isn't the place to post this as ISD stated and good luck finding a non exsisting pure-Logi corp.

I agree, it's confusing, specially with hauling stuff also called logistics by most players. But it clearly states in the original post he was talking about the "healing" logistics.

J'Poll you also did not learn to read.

I'm not looking for a well established serious logi corp. I'm also not looking for a "serious logi belonging to a jaded high SP vet" Petrus. While i appreciate all the help many people seem to think i should be advertising for a serious logi corp in the business forums.

My objection is that as i clearly stated several times im not looking for anything "serious". Couple low SP guys in exequerors are fine by me and will not be worth 40mil an hour.

I realise it'll be hard to find a serious logi corp or even a non serious one. But the question is still legitimate and in the correct forum.

I'll re-iterate :

I'd like to be in contact with a small corp with an interest in logistics. Or i would like to be in contact with semi-new players who would like to learn about and help provide logistics in small scale FUN operations.

I do not require a ten man defensive gang and have literally no idea what could have given you that impression having re-read what i wrote. Sorry Vets (and jpoll) i know you'd love to rip me to bits for daring to mention i'd like to meet some logis, but in reality i just want to meet new players interested in something i need.

Anywhere else id be getting comended for trying to spark some interest in logistics in new players..

My apologies then, that was not very clear from your very short and somewhat vague OP. You may want to clarify that. I still don't think you'll find any logi-dedicated corps, but you may find newbies interested in playing with an Osprey or Exequror.

You may also have better luck after the winter expansion, since newbie logi options will be greatly expended by the new logi frigs and crusiers.

Cheers bud, that was my thought too (about winter exp). I just notice an abundance of "Healer" type chars in other games, but in EvE they seem to be pretty damn rare. My thoughts were that maybe early players just dont consider it as a career, and if i could get them started in a basic Exeq pair they could learn a little about how it all works and maybe in return become an asset for my books.

Not looking to hire a fat gang of wormhole carrier logi's, just fishing for a starting interest to foster.

The thing is that in the other games too it's pretty rare to find a guild for healers only (except for roleplay reasons). But a school for healers could be a good idea Smile

In other games guilds have to do everything or at least a wide range of things. Specifics in guild focus are rare other than "we focus on endgame".

Eve corps follow MUCH different rules and regardless if there is any dedicated logi corps, there are corps dedicated solely to almost everything else. A guild full of healers would be pointless since guilds tend to work alone. In eve there is plenty of framework for corps to work together, thus a corp full of healers while maybe a little restricted in what they can do alone would be very useful in the right place.

EDIT - None the less i still dont want a "corp full of healers" necessarily. Moot point mate.
