Corp history does not mean anything by just looking at a profile... as you can have many accounts with different purposes.

If you look at mine you will probably cringe...

However, what is one to do when they were sold a bill of lies..

"Oh ya, we are a super active wormhole corp"... 2 weeks later, after being the only corp member to log in during that time...

"We are a chill null corp, you can do whatever you want"... Corp evemail spammed out threatening all pilots to spend the next 3 months skilling for ships/mods for specific doctrine and maintain 100% efficiency on KB or get kicked.

"Ya, we mine. Fleets up every day" "uh guys we need to pool our money to get a retriever. 25 Million ISK is more than any of us could ever dream of.".....

"Uh, we're TEST, and we're gonna unblue all of our blues and take on all of New Eden solo just because I'm Buddha and I'm a moron"... Forced to leave nullsec because a single tool has the power to destroy an entire region.

Corp history can be quite irrelevant. Half of mine were my own attempts after being screwed by those of the likes of the above.

You can't expect someone to just click and jump in and fit. If its not right who cares if they left? If you dont trust them, ask them and then check members of the corps. In many instances you have no choice because of the decisions of others.

I've never left on bad terms from any of my corp history. Im an 82m sp pilot. Can fly multiple carriers, dreads, marauders, full T2 fit frig-BS all races, Legion & Tengu, I can build everything but T3s and Titans. Blops, sb, HIC, HAC. Lasers, guns, missiles. Orca, Rorq, Hulk..... I'm still trying to find a good fit. They look at corp history and they just say sorry, no dice. Their loss.

Whenever I see large employment histories I facepalm and automatically untrust that pilot, because he is either a child who doesn't know what to do and changes his mind so easily, or maybe his behaviour is not adequate and he's kicked in less than few weeks each run.

In my opinion, 1-2 corp a year is the limit, although jumping from one corp to the next one each six months on a regular basis is still somehow unstable, childish and weird. The rule of thumb is if you get a scroll bar on your employment history, bad news.

On the other hand, when I find a guy in the same corp for 2+ years (not a NPC) I then admire and trust his loyalty and psychological balance :)

Do you feel the same or you just don't care about others' employment history?


TLDR: think twice before joining, dropping and applying other corps every time.


So just because one is loyal to an alliance which has corps coming and going it means they're horrible for swapping corps to stay in the said alliance?

Had you been kicked, would it have been a good thing or a bad thing? Smile

I think about 350 corps seems reasonable.

If you see a corp history that makes your eyes bleed, don't trust them. Period.

They're either an awoxer and you just invited a world of hurt into your corp, or a corp jumper with an irrational fear of PVP that will bail the first time you tell him to get in a ship with guns. While it might be just a coincidence and the guy has had bad luck with corps, do you really want to take that chance?

I don't.

By your metric this character is untrustworthy, before the standings requirement for POS anchoring changed I created and sold corps with the required standings, hence I have quite a long employment history.

agreed. I would switch between various corp within a 'family' as a function to do stuff, back in the day. And ... in EVE even a few months is a long time. CEO's leave, people migrate, corp conditions change, and either the corp moves away or you decide to move away from the corp. Unless someone is leaving a trail of totally unconnected corps behind in monthly or less successions, ... I'd not care a bit.

That said, my Main has only a handful of different corps on his list in 10 years, pretty good going I thought. (but it still 'looks' alot when you scroll)

Corp history is just a factor that deserves a more complex analysis.

I would like to point out though that 5 years in the same corp can very easily mean 'unsubbed for 4 years.'

What if the employment history is 3-4 corps over 5 years....but they just bought the character the day before.

Iv read couple replies in this thread, and as someone who has been to about 30 different corps of different playstyles in eve I have to agree that it is more fun. And you get to pick what you like.

If you want to do 0.0, FW, highsec, pirating, I really think you don't have to have an alt for it just to show "loyalty". I never ever wanted to go back to previous corps, as they simply were just "corps" with no people in it. or a very close-knit clique that does nothing other than chit chatting on teamspeak.

And if you don't "trust" players, you should go to highsec and read CSM minutes. Apparently you will get criminal flag in highsec if you shoot corpmate now.

I rather trust people with a long corp history then those who hide in their own private corp for 5+ years.

Better question: What is the acceptable maximum duration of membership in the noob corp?
