Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Good day to you all, I am looking for a corporation to join . I've been playing on and off for a few years and think it's time to find some friends and have even more fun.

First a little about me (The "what I'd like in a corp bit is right at the end")

My Eve History
I have two characters, Lug Thorne has 7.3 million sp and one alt called Kohlhammer which has less than 2000 sp and I might end up recycling. It is Lug Thorne with whom I am looking to join up, he's been my primary eve character since creation, which must have been at least 5 years ago , although he's only had about 6 months of actual play. Bonus points if anyone actually knows where the name Kohlhammer comes from.

Combat wise I'm mainly trained up in missile combat and I'm currently using the new ISIS to train up my Kestrel to mastery 3 or 4 before I train up a cruiser skill set. I can fly cruisers but not really fit them properly yet.

I've yet to kill another player owned ship, which is something I'd like to do. I got close this morning but the other guy called his corp-mates in.

I've sunk a fair amount of time into mining which I wanted to use to fund myself, then found it too boring to actually do. It would probably be better in a small mining group but I've not tried that.

Ambitions
I definitely want to do more PvP but need some way to fund it. I'd like to try some exploration, relic sites, and wormholes. I'm curious about research and production but I'm unsure if they'd suit me or be an unfun time sink.

As for ambitions, well I like the idea of lowsec or nullsec life, an idea that comes more from reading about the stories than from experience. As Gary King said, I just want to have a good time .

Outside of Eve
I've been computer gaming since 1983 on ZX81 , through the spectrum, then amiga, then pc years. MMO wise my big love was Planetside , first 1 then 2, but find planetside 2 is lacking the depth that I hope I can find in Eve. Done some other MMOs, namely Star Trek Online, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Star Wars the old republic, Warhammer Age of Reckoning, and , of course, World of Warcraft .

I'm a computer programmer by trade, and can provide advice on hardware and software. I love science fiction.

I'd guess you could say that I'm not much of a people person but my real life friends would be quick to point out how reliable and trustworthy I am. I just need the right corp to fit in.

What I'm seeking in a corp:

1. English speaking with voice comms. I know a little spanish and a word or two of Klingon but I can't chat in them.
2. I have a family and any corp must understand that Eve is not my primary focus in life.
3. Good Sense of Humour. Jokes, laughing around but able to be serious when needed .
4. People on between 19:00 and 00:00 uk time Monday to Friday. This is my gaming time and when I'm likely to be on Eve. i often get an hour in from 07:30 to 08:30 in the mornings as well.
5. Be able to teach me and let me learn. I want a corp-matss that can teach and advise but not be dictatorial. More "I'd suggest fitting this" than rigidly defined fittings.
6. I'm willing to do mining runs, but not constantly. I'm not looking for a 100% or even 50% mining corp.

Hey mate, have a look at us:
Convo or mail me ingame when you are interested ;)

You might want to try a FW corp as the isk you make in FW easily covers the losses as long as you aren't blinging your ships to silly levels considering the environment.
