You're here looking for a new corp.

You have a check list of things you want. Does it look a bit like this?


  • Wide range of PvP Activities
  • 'Front-line' Null-sec space to fight over
  • 'Backwater' Null-sec space to quietly bear in
  • Mature people who don't talk like retards
  • Ship Reimbursement / Corp Ships
  • Industrial activity
  • Real life comes first
  • EU and US Timezone activity
  • Large fight participation
  • Small corp size, no-one's a stranger
  • People who spell


You also have a list of things you don't want. Does it look a bit like this?


  • No leet-speaking kiddy retards
  • No grief-ridden baggage from former alliances
  • No forum drama
  • No leadership voids or rage quit drama
  • No alarm clocks



If so, then you could do a lot worse than to take a look at Ardent Spirits.

To summarise us:

We're a small corp of skilled and semi-skilled players. We are part of THORN Alliance, which provides us with access to the space, jabber pings, epic campaigns and colossal fleets of the big war in EVE right now - HBC vs A. Without having to tolerate the bull of larger alliances, this allows us to quietly enjoy the participation of the big fights, while sitting back in our peaceful corp with none of the silly drama.

It's kind of the best of both worlds - epic things to join, without the usual 'tards you have to tolerate to get it.

As people, we've been round the houses together for a few years, so as long as we avoid the topics of American Politics, Gun Control, the Environment, the Medical system, Finance, and the subtleties of Dolphin language, we don't argue any more.

Our one rule - a strict "no emo, no drama, no children" policy.


We need more people to keep the critical mass flowing, so please, tap us up and finally find a corp you can feel at home in.

So many great stories shared with this corp as we emerged through different alliance choices and have made a name within the alliances we have participated in.

I will try to share some of them through the coming days, in this thread.

What you will find in this corp (I think like so few others) is that everyone's opinions are heard here and valued.

This is a people first corp and you know it from the start.

In this corp you will find captains of industry with detailed knowledge of how to make isk in eve. You will be exposed to and have access to PVP in every imaginable scale, from small roams and gate camps to Cap ship popping goodness and Titans on the field.

The PVP doctrines are varied and there are many fleets at any given time. You will find fleets to fly anything from Rifters to Cap ships.

With so many ways to make isk and so many fleets, there is always something to do in the real life first corp.

Come play with us! Big smile

Hi All,

We said we wouldn't bump this without a story. So here's a story!

In Delve (we call it Delve version 1, we've been there a few times now).

Anyway, one of our esteemed corpies noticed that Sov had been dropped in a particularly tasty endpipe system. But it was like, 5am and he hadn't slept and all he had at hand that could carry a TCU was a badger.

So he fitted a prototype cloak, hauled the TCU through 2 gate camps, and landed us sov in the system. For the next 8 hours, half away, he kept an eye on that TCU and made sure that anyone who came into the system thought he was a cyno alt waiting to hotdrop.

By the time the rest of us woke up the next day, we had SOV!

Just goes to show, all it takes to be a sov-holding alliance in EVE is a Badger II and a Protoype Cloak, and a pair of massive cahones.



That's just one of many stories, come join the fun.

Delve v1 was a blast!

It was where many us first cut our PVP teeth and remains one of my favorite places to fly and fight :)

How exciting to be in good company and learn fleet PVP in Delve :)

I am very honored to still be flying with some of same pilots to this day.

I remember Sarkyn having a few late nights himself back then, saving our asses and assets!

That story and many others soon…

Join us, make ISK, blow up ships and have some laughs on comms o/

Gents, sounds like you've got a great corp, but you have GOT to get someone with a better sense of humor on the recruiting channel!

The MOD on that channel states that the corp "requires" the watching of three YouTube videos...which I proceeded to do.

I commented that I almost gave up on you after watching the 1st two videos, but the 3rd (Supercat) saved the day. Laughed my ass off at that one.

I was promptly kicked out of the channel. Shocked

That was my mistake, sorry. I was half asleep, and unaware that some jerk had added in ANOTHER video to our motd. I thought you were being an ******* about the VR Tribute vid, and we don't like assholes.

You are welcome back in our public channel any time to kick my ass soundly for being such an aforementioned ******* :(

Thanks, Beppe - no way I'd dis Sean...I'm a former Marine Embassy Guard myself, and have been on the cusp of a similar situation.

That said, in Eve, as far as PvP goes, asking me to fight is the military equivalent of putting the admin pogues and cooks on the line - it's pure desparation time! At that point, I do pew-pew like everyone else, but short of that, is the corp cool with someone who wants to focus on mining/building/transporting, especially if it's to the benefit of the corp?

I'll try to catch you in-game tonight to try again!

We definitely encourage our pilots to participate in fleets with us, just because it's such good fun. That said, we don't force people to. We have several guys in corp dedicated to industry.

So feel free to drop by and we can discuss such things.

I'm one of the pilots dedicated to industry. The small kind most of the time, making modules and stuff.

As a corp we always tried to do stuff as a group, however anyone not wearing rose tinted glasses will know that its difficult with a varied timezone corp such as ourselves to get such corp activites as you'd like all the time.

So on the one occasion that I recall where we got a few of us together, during a lull from Alliance fleets and (ice mining and plexing) we decided to go stomp a gate camp 6 jumps away in Curse.

Thinking that the foe was simply a few frigs we jumped into frigates and set off for a skirmish, landed on the gate and jumped through - saw that the hostiles had 5 frigs and had a small amount of range and so we gave chase - it was all going so well until the other 4 cruisers warped in on top of us along with an ewar frigate....

Duly whelped we decided that (as you do in all sensible circumstances) we'd go back and kick their sorry arses for them with larger ships.. so shipped into cruisers and a couple bc's .

As we entered system we saw that they were all there waiting for us, taking the ewar frig down quickly we were making inroads into the rest of them when the 2 falcons decloaked.....

Later that night we discussed the scenario and had a good chuckle about it - irrespective of losing ships - it was the camaraderie of being with like minded pilots which made it all worth while.

You see it didn't matter that we whelped - what mattered was that we enjoyed it. Killboards are never as important as having fun.

Joined these guys a few days ago - really enjoying my stay!

I used to be a complete carebear, but I'm slowly trying to change my ways and have more fun with EVE. I don't think I could find a better bunch of people to do it with. Extremely helpful, patient, and good-natured.

If you're looking for a way into the 0.0 life, this is the ticket!

Hey thanks for shout out Dudemeister Smile it is great having you aboard!


Today was fun. I had a bit of time to drop back to the land of milk and honey, make some isk for a while and later joined a Cap fleet to play with some of the big toys.

Great thing about cap fleets is that they also have nice support fleets with many ship types to fly and kills to be had :)

There is always something going on, come join the fun :)

I've known him for over a year now, and I'm just now realizing that Quotan has dreadlocks. And sunglasses. Dreadlocks and sunglasses in space.

@Dudemeister, thanks for the words. It's true ^-^

Lots of new recruits hitting the corp this past week, all of them happily now learning the ways of nullsec (those that wanted/needed to) and some hav already participated in their first fleets.

if you want to benefit from the returns of a nullsec life then give us a tinkle in the RDNT. channel and we'd be happy to discuss pretty much anything with you, unless of course you want to know the location of our super secret operations base.

You do? Ok you persuaded me... we operate in Querious and Catch and some new exciting locations upcoming - so plenty of scope for fun fun fun.

Story time!

We mentioned we have been in Delve a few times (several times actually) and enjoyed some great deployments there.

Well, back in Delve V2 we were flying with some of the Bros in Thorn on one of the now famous Friday Night Lights fleets! But before I get to the story, let me say if you have never been in a “FNL” fleet, there is as an aspect of Eve, you have truly never enjoyed. Where to begin… a FNL fleet is like when the bar lets out at 2:00 A.M. and the people that don’t want go home all get in space ships and just stay at the bar. These fleets are for pure adult fun. They are one part circus, one part space warrior and most under the influence of “something”. These fleets pause for regular toasts to whatever entertains a person at that late hour and oddly also have CAP ship raffles, resulting in some lucky pilot winning a new carrier.

Anyway, back to the story!

This particular FNL we off a great start and the fleet had decent numbers (my first FNL had a fleet of over 100). Once more into the thunder dome of Delve~

Our fleet had encountered several kills along the way down a large pipe, well into the heartland of the enemy. I know at one point we had one brosef several toasts into the fleet, kind of nod off at the keyboard, some hilarity ensued on comms trying to resuscitate him. I am not sure quite what he was saying when finally stirred but it was funny as hell. In any case so we were now deep into hostile territory and had long since been reported on enemy intel, they were forming fast. With some good enemy intel of own we managed to gain access to a POS and bump out not one but two Carriers and proceeded to make merry with two caps kills as we watched local filling up .

The enemy fleet now upon us was in their home system, knew our ships types and was now massive. With some exchange and a few lost souls (remember the dude drunk off his ass? Well he actually made it lol). We were off and headed back down the pipe with the Benny hill music on comms and laughing our asses off!

Benny Hill Theme

So, the enemy fleet hot our heals going gate to gate until they seemed to have let us off entirely to easy (it was) our scout had now reported they were ahead of us and had cut off our exit point using their jump bridge network, we hit the brakes and having a laugh said, why not and headed back towards their home base. Hit the music again!

Play it again!

In this fleet we went back and forth with a few exchanges on each end until we ran them out of Jump Fuel! Raid Success and off for home.

Now in RDNT. It should be said that we enjoy some very serious, fly your ship right, tight on comms fleets and our killboard history reflects it but sometimes it can be all about pure relaxed fun! That is what an FNL fleet is all about.

Come join us Big smile More fun ahead! o/.
