Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Hello Rictus,

The best reason to join a pc corp is that you can find a close knit corp that wants to work together. Generally, those in a npc corp are either a new bro that hasn't found his corp yet, an alt used to haul things in time of war, or someone who just doesn't want to play with a team, instead wanting to solo it and find a few "friends" around.

I would like to offer you a place in our corp family of Astrocomical. Some of the pros that you can't receive from a npc corp would be, we run mining fleets where if there is a rat or a red in the area, we all try to help each other when we can. In CAS, you might know what, five pilots? We have bp's for building ships that we freely share. Doubt you will find that where you are at.

If you would like to try out a pc corp, and are into the industrial side of things, the give us a look. We might be a perfect fit for you. If you have any questions about it, or the game in general, drop me a mail and I'll be happy to help out.

It really depends on what you are looking for. For solo activities, NPC corps are just fine since you don't have a need for a corp support structure. The main thing you are missing there is a sense of camaraderie and the corporate culture. There are plenty of randoms always taking in chat, but it's never going to be anyone you know, and there are slim chances for making friends.

At the very least, being in a corp, means you c an spend time with like-minded folks who enjoy each other's company, joke around and such and the next day can talk to those same people rather than trying to start up a conversation with someone you don't know.

More than that, it's much easier to get groups going in a corporation and alliance since there is already a group to form from.
Like the above post, mining corps provide opportunities to boost mining; for solo miners this could be a ore/mineral buy program where you can give what you mined to the corp and have someone else sell them for you if you aren't skilled at or interested in playing market games. They also provide mining ops where you can sit there and mine while someone else hauls it away which helps with streamlining quite a bit; solo you would have to have your own hauler alt or keep returning to the station, and, again you can then get paid without additional effort of refining and selling.

Other things pretty much require a corporation. I spent a few years in a high end wormhole doing the top level sites including capital escalations for big money. While I can daytrip to lower class wormholes any time I want, you need a focused group to take on C5s and 6s which means you pretty much have to be in a corporation to tackle that content. Another example is my current corporation has been recognized by CCP for being the first group to penetrate and complete Drifter sites; while we have some help from our corporate allies, it would have been straight up impossible to pull off without the core group of our corporation being ready to go, and without the corporation we wouldn't have had the network of allies to pull additional volunteers from.

Even being solo can benefit from certain corporate structures. Red Vs Blue for instance tends to favor the solo roamers, but with the number of members and being eternally at war with each other, they provide a lot more targets, and thus, opportunity for fights. They also provide regular roams to look for targets outside the two alliances which, again isn't something likely to be organized within an NPC corporation.

You also mentioned having vets but being new player friendly. That could, indeed, be a benefit of NPC corporations, but again, it's more luck than planning that lets you pick the brains of more skilled players, and nothing stops vets from taking an interest in a newbie and helping them along, but some corporations are specifically built around the concept of showing newbies the ropes, and in a much more focused manner due to that intent, so it isn't an advantage for NPC corps at all really.

If I might ask, though, what sort of things about EvE interest you? What do you want to do in EvE?
Knowing those might help to explain what a corporation might do to help you, and possibly even potential player corporation candidates.

Hopefully this at least helps explain things.

Hello again Rictus,

I'm sorry if you believe my post was a "recruitment plea". I attempted to answer your question to the best of my ability. I stand by what I said and agree 100% with Xindi. I only attempted to recruit you because you have in fact posted this in the "Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center", therefor I incorrectly assumed that if provided with answers that made sense to you, then you would be interested in joining that corporation.

I am happy that you are enjoying the game in CAS and hope you continue with that happiness. That being said, I do believe the game gets better once you join a PC corp. If I may, I suggest you give it a try. Then you may find good answers for your questions. You may like it better. You may not. But you can easily drop the corp you join and go back to a npc corp.

And please don't take this as another "recruitment plea". I understand you aren't interested in Astrocomical. I am just offering an opinion.

Let me ask you this one question. Do you like cheese?

Can a NPC corp supply you with stinky, dorty smelly foot cheese? the answer is no!

Can a PC

YES

We love cheese, the better the smell the better the corp!

We here at Serene Vendetta love the cheese. We love the smell, the feel and texture of the cheese. We will supply you with cheese to last you a life time. Can an NPC corp do that? NO!

Also the is cake! Cheese cake, we love the cheese cake and we eat it on a regular basis!

Sometimes we also eat fish, but these are sad days as fish is smelly and full of things not fun, such as dominoes. Dominoes is a boring game. Play chess instead, this is fun!!!!

P.S. If you like the poontang we can also supply that ;)

this is why a PC Is better

PS. The cheese is a lie

PPS. So is the cake


PPPS We are recruiting!

Thanks... and Undomiel, i think you nailed it. CAS has player corp sub divisions, with alts in main CAS, etc... just as you have stated. I can see the control aspect being a big deal for many corps, and there are definitely advantages there.
