Crime & Punishment

I am going to be starting a pirate corp relatively soon and I'm looking for potential members to help start the corp with me. Any experience is welcome, however less experienced pilots are preferred some can all learn together. A word of warning, piracy is not an easy lifestyle, if you like flying around hi-sec visiting trade hubs, piracy makes this VERY difficult so if you apply, be fully aware of the consequences. If this sounds like your sort of thing email me at: orfsyr@gmail.com.
For anyone curious as to what we will be doing as a pirate corp, basically it'll be any form of space terrorism you wanna do, ransoming, can flipping, ganking haulers, whatever you want :)

Edited thanks to helpful forum members

Good luck!

We were all noobs at one point. At least newer players are willing to learn.

So you want inexperienced people who have never tried something. Then want them to roll with it even if they don't think it's fun?

I can also attest that if you get them while they're brand new you can shield them from some of the poison most terrible corps do their best to fill them with.

I've had incredible success bringing brand new players into my lifestyle.

This was a challenge for me when I started my own piracy corp out in NPC null. When you put new players in a challenging environment, you need to be prepared to do some hand-holding. Without it they can get bored and frustrated, and may quit or go inactive. For us, we resolved this by moving back to highsec and taking up highsec piracy. No regrets - we are getting more quality game content and exploding more ships (our own and other people's) than we ever did in null.

Assuming that you want to do your pirate thing in lowsec (correct me if I'm wrong, but it's usually the lowsec guys who use the term "piracy" without any qualifiers or explanations), you can probably make it easier on yourself by recruiting from the same TZ as yourself and by choosing your HQ carefully (probably a nice quiet, low traffic pocket located close to some rich hunting grounds). If you can find a couple of experienced guys with a little personal initiative who don't mind helping out the newbs, that will make a big difference as well.

There are a few different activities that I would categorize as highsec piracy.

Suicide ganking

Ninja looting/ganking

Wardeccing

Scamming

AWOXing

Those are the basics, anyway. Probably missing something as I hastily write this on my break at work. I'd define "piracy" in EVE basically as any method of getting other people's isk or assets when they would rather you didn't, and it can be done anywhere there are other players, not necessarily just in lowsec. Highsec is fun for me mainly because of the sheer number of available targets. When I was doing lowsec I found that unless you are hunting in Amemake you can roam for hours without getting a good engagement, and even then it was usually just pirates shooting pirates. To some extent FW has changed that, I think, but FW people don't make that great of piracy targets either.

I'm sorry it's vague, but there isn't any of that information at the minute, the corp doesn't exist so it'll be as big as it'll grow. No rules that I've thought of, just don't screw each other over, and I run on EVE time +1 but I'm flexible :) why don't you mail me with any questions you have, I'd be more than happy to answer them

Why thank you very much starfox, ops will start next week, regardless of numbers :)

Now now, don't be insulting each other on my recruitment thread
