EVE General Discussion

i can be wrong here (been away from 0.0 for like a year) however...

Usually it is not alliance who recruits. Actual recruitment is done by its corporations. You become member of corporation.
This means that actual requirements you get from corporation recruiter. And it depends of him and his corporation.

Let's say is corporation does PvP you need to fly doctrine ships with good skills.
However if you are getting into industrial corp you can get with retriever and train hulk later. Additional skills will be bonus but they are not "must have".

Choose what do you want from 0.0 and then browse for alliance/corporations.

Goons only recruit from the something awful forums and the others you'll have to jump thru hoops like a good doggie but it helps to know someone inside who can vouch for you or have a killer kill board with lower SP toon and focus on PVP cause that's what they look for including you got to bare all full API your alt, transactions, a letter from your mother yada yada.

In general large nullsec alliances don't want to bring in low skill point folks for fear of spies, and general lack of leetnesss. The Goons and Test corps require some number months membership in their forums. Other alliances like pandemic simply have too high of skill point and killboard requirements. That said both the HBC, and CFC have a lot of corps, and semi-allied corps that do recruit low sp characters.

Things to note:

0) If it's test or the goons and you didn't go the forum route it's a scam.

1) If some asks for an API it's pretty standard.

2) If some asks for a deposit/fee it's a scam.

3) If they ask you to contract them all your worldly possessions it's a scam. Once you get in corp, and get out to NS then you can contract some of your stuff over for transport.


My advice is to look at faction warfare or low sec corps 1st. Get some pvp experience, something on your killboard and some people who will vouch for you. Most pvp focused corps I've been in have ended up moving to NS or some portion has broken off to do so within 6 months.

PS- Also get your self in the Recruitment channel in game.

This is untrue. GoonWaffe- the severely bloated 8000 man flagship corp recruits explicitly from SA, member corps in the alliance "Goonswarm Federation" have their own recruiting practices.

I was browsing through the recruiting tool the other day and there was a Fatal Ascension corp and a TEST one that would come up as: new player friendly. Try those filters if you're looking for the true 0.0 power bloc experience.

The reason for the SP requirement is not that your character is finally useful. The point is the damage that letting in an infiltrator can cause. People are very willing to invest a month or two (and $15 real) building an infiltration alt. They are less likely to spend 2 years ( and $350 real) building an infiltration alt.

From my experience talking to other people in EVE, corps in TEST or Goons, even if its not Dreddit or Goonwaffe scam.

Hi. I got into Dreddit with approximately 6000 skillpoints (or however many it is you have when you start the game).

To join Dreddit, all you need is to have been an active Redditor for at least three months. This is because Dreddit is a Reddit community. Other corps in TEST have their own recruitment procedures. Enlightened Industries, for example, is notoriously sluttish when it comes to letting people in.

The other way to join Dreddit is to persuade a current member of Dreddit to sponsor you. If you can find any Dredditors and persuade them to sponsor you, you're in.

Best start making friends!

Do unto others before they do unto you

It's not hard to make ingame friends and acquaintances, it's just hard to trust them. In Eve friendship is cheap, trust is the valuable commodity here.

Sorry, you will have to train your awoxing alt more to gain entry.
