Killboard

It all comes from trying to train newer players. There are a couple losses that were due to "station game oversight" but other than that, the ones losing ships have not been playing for long. While some people recruit "Only Leet PVPers", we firmly believe that in addition to recruiting said leet pvpers, we need to train new players to be effective pvpers as well. After all, those new players grow up fast these days, and suddenly they're flying battlecruisers and battleships with the best of them.

We remember what it was like being new and trying to get into the pvp scene, and don't want to exclude people simply because they're new, as long as they are willing and able to learn. How many mercenary organizations are out there with 1 to 10 people, camping stations, getting green killboards? That's easy to do, but how effective are they truly, when your enemies are out flying around other regions of space?

Don't get me wrong, killboards are important, but they aren't everything.

Terrific points, and I absolutely agree. There really isn't any other way for players to judge your corporation these days! While camping stations and preventing targets from making isk is a valid form of combat, it unfortunately isn't provable to potential clients that you even did such.

I don't even know you. Have you really even looked at our killboard? Sure we get some kills in jita, but we get some elsewhere too. I couldn't possibly know why you would say these things; not like we're any sort of competitor to your alliance.

Thank you for your terrific words, Serendipity. You truly hit the nail on the head with what I'm trying to drive towards with our corporation. We are working on a way to implement feedback from our customers based on how well or poorly we get the job done (Because, like you said, that's what really matters), but until that's finished we unfortunately have to rely mainly on the killboard. Hopefully it will be something we can outsource to other organizations as well!

That Legion... yes my God.

But people give them a chance and don't mess up their thread.

Good luck Gents.

Gentlemen, thank you all for your kind and constructive words. (especially you, Kane!)

Let me regale you all with a story. A story about an individual who played eve once upon a time, skilled up, got decent isks and ships, then quit playing for a while. He then came back to the game, decided to join a mercenary organization and thought he knew it all still. This is a story of a Legion pilot.

As much as we might not like it, we cannot take control of other pilots' ships (that is, without breaking the EULA!). While Angrod expressed some interesting theories about the game, we worked our best to talk with him, work with him, and disabuse him of some of these notions which have been proven false through much painful past experience. Constantly we tell our members "Fly around in frigates if you want to go solo. Use a scout for anything larger!" and "We are a PVP corporation, while I respect that you sometimes need isk, we are here to help you out. Ask us, or use an alt to make money!". Angrod was certainly no exception. We offered training sessions and numerous small fleet opportunities, but Angrod seemed uninterested since, after all, he knew what he was doing already! So what were we to do other than try our best?

So Angrod takes it into his mind that he should make some isk, and what better way to make isk than scanning out sigs! He fit up his Legion and set out to find some sigs, then remembered that he wasn't in a frigate, so used a scout. He scouted one system he was going to jump to, saw there were baddies there. He then warped, without scouting, to a second system. This is where he died. Afterward, he left our corporation. I guess he thought it was a bad fit? I don't know. We didn't want him to go carebearing (After all, we are a pvp corp) but if he absolutely HAD to, we couldn't stop him so he should at least take proper precautions (of which I'm sure you all know many). But, after all, he knew better!

Moral of the story: Don't be an Angrod.

We don't mind training people that want to learn. But, you have to want to learn!

And about the pricing, our corporation at the heart of it is a business. To be competitive, since we allow new members for training and we don't have 500 people flying around (yet), we are indeed inexpensive. To be otherwise would be to have no jobs!

Bump for a better KB.

People gotta start out small man.

You son of a ***** i was wondering for a few minutes why it didn't show.
