EVE General Discussion

This is why I hate to read the drivel of the elitist null-sec snobs who post their insults about people who stay in high-sec. They define high-sec'ers as a monolith of carebear miners or whatever else, 'risk averse,' 'WOW players' etc.

Some of us are stuck in high-sec because we kind of have no other choice (meaning, whatever choices there are aren't particularly good ones). I am not a miner, and I've never played WOW. I would like nothing more than to be in null-sec, or in a wormhole corp. But I have issues with joining a blob of people I don't know from Adam, who don't know me from Adam, and who have corporate objectives or politics which either aren't in line with mine, or even worse, are inscrutable or unknown or constantly changing.

I've tried to get my real-life friends to play Eve. They won't. I've tried meeting folks on the forums or in-game or whatever. That didn't work (I met some, they never want to do anything except what they are already doing, which is generally solo mining, solo exploration, or whatever). I've tried doing solo wormhole stuff. That 'worked' in the sense that I can scan down a wormhole, go in, poke around, run a few relic sites or whatever. But what if you don't want to be a small-time wormhole explorer your entire Eve existence, making $30 mil ISK per hour running exploration sites? I'd like to bring a battleship in and try running some of the combat sites, but that is pure suicide and begging for a gank. I once found a guy running wormholes on these forums. Messaged him and asked if he'd like to explore options for working together. He was paranoid that I was a spy or assassin or ganker or whatever. So you are back to trying to find some like-minded people to play the game with - in other words back to square one. For some, that's a difficult or impossible task.

:D

Message me.

You have it ass backwards.

Its not about what X corp wants.
Its about what you want.

i think what Trevor Dalech is a good idea, maybe not in WH but I may try that. People are sometimes paranoid becuase of the allowance of scamming and awoxing it is a little understandable, co-operation with a wary eye is sometimes needed.

Salvos, I think yuo may have misread that I think that is what he is saying.

Anyway, back tot he answer I promised you.

OK. What I am looking for.

EUTZ, becuase I am in the UK so dont want to be a fill in orpart of a "up and coming EU presence" in a corp
Good PI, as that is where I make most of my isk, or at least lwning POCO in high sec so I can set up factory planets
upgraded ratting systems (if in null), or hitting l4 missions and escalations in high sec
free from misogynistic, ignorant racists throwing slurs around... I actually feel embarrased when people spout off like this, swear and curse I am fine with, slurs etc I am not
Dont want providence. I've lived there, some good guys in my previous corp there but... NRDS
Dont want WH space becuase Ive lived there 3 times now and I just need a break from it.
not a big long list of blues (for more PVP opportunities

This leaves either null sec or high sec

I see one of two potentials. I am not averse to a high sec corp that day trips for PVP and to WH and Null space, no weighing out 500isk m3 for JF services, as long as they had infrastructure (citadels etc) and POCOs that they owned so I can set up factory planets (for ISK making), I like this idea as it allows me to experiement with many differ hull types as being in high sec they are easy to get

or Null sec, hopefully not too far from high sec, (a border system would be fantastic in an ideal world), a corp that had a reasonably priced, regular JF service, POCOs (again), doctrine ships on contract at a reasonable and fair markup. a place where you and one other could go off for a roam or a bunch of you could

I think thats most of it

Small - medium (max 20) PVP, not keen on massive tidi fleet battles

I hear Dreddit is recruiting.

Not sure what this has to do with my original post, however I would say that eve is more of a slow burn game, you can train into tackle, ecm and basic exploration quite quickly and then expand from there. but yes unless your getting skill injector or buying multiple character training then train one toon to do something, I normally train in 1 month stints for my toon. you need to get a training plan.

I do feel the same. It is rather difficult to find a corp. I thought several times I did find it but then.... two disbanded shortly after I joined (reason for corps to advertise they are recruiting is they can't sustain the corp any more), one left the alliance and decided to do something completely different....

Then most of them want your full api key... wtf? I am ok with sharing some stuff but not sharing my life with all of them. One corp didn't accept me because I didn't give them the full api key of my wife's account.....

Yes, we chatted, and I offered to help you. But actually I was referring to someone else in my post. A high-skilled old-timer type who frequently posts on the forums.

Actually, it has been a whole series of people.

I'm not here to point the finger at anyone. It is what it is.

Its cool, not even sure if it was your alt. Mostly you feel intimidated
to approach players who has been in this game for a long time.
You feel you have nothing to offer except failure.
Thats when the paranoia hits you "why the hell would anybody
wanna invest time and ISK in me?"
