Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Short presentation of C-P-A Cosmonautic Privateering Agency:

We are a fresh and enthusiastic EU based corporation, maybe the billionth out in space, and we do probably not have an advantage against other corps. We don't have any specialization yet, so I can't say at this stage how we will develop (as this will probably depend on players)

Visit our Website



We want:

We are looking for young members (young in the sense of inexperienced), but mature (we don't care how old you are, as long as you don't act like a 12yo kid), and that want to like eve.
You should be open to communication and be a good teamplayer, or at least try.
Oh and please be able to communicate in english language.

If you are still using the trial, don't fear to ask us: you are probably the right person.

Our max skillpoint limit for new members is around 2M. But you can always ask for an exception.


We offer:

• A fine, gentle introduction into the different aspects of the game (although none of us has ever really done PvP),
• mission running,
• mining OPs
• explorations (wormholes and stuff...)
• and most things a generic, average corp will provide. . . (oh YES... we are most probably a veeeeery standard corp)
• forget about 0.0sec and staions.... we will start providing 1 or 2 (up to ten) offices in high and lowsec when enough people are coming, THEN we will plan the further future.

WE ARE NOT:

• a robotic corporation that lives only by numbers, wothout social interaction
• an aggressive corp destroying other people's goods, especially not from ones that are weaker
• a pvp corp
• l33t n00bz whatever
• 0.0 or wormhole
• pirates or privateers
• immature
• a noob corporation that can't live without a 100M SP leader

We will (hopefully) be growing steadily, so if you join today, you will be the leaders of tomorrow (not literally, it will take a bunch of time...)

Right now... the corp may seem a bit little and weak, with only 3 members, but well, every corp starts small. And what is the advantage to small corps? It's being more close to each other (aaawwwww), or otherwise said, it is more easy to transfer Information.
I think... that we are quite friendly, we always try to help and guide inexperienced players into the right direction. With the CEO being a carebear with less than half a million skillpoints since 2010, we surely are not very professional, but this is our question: are YOU, then?
(if yes, why the hell are you reading this?)


WHY THE F*CKNG HELL ARE WE EVEN TRYING???:

like many other people, we found out one possible truth:
-if you don't give any conditions, you can't call it blackmailing in most cases

Spam aside,
we just think that in order to enjoy eve to its full extent, you have to depend on other people. Trying to do all by yourself will be a huge waste of time. So we want to share a group of people, getting as many qualities as we can into one small network. Being in a corporation will probably make contact to other people outside the corp easier or raise your self-esteem. Maybe the corporation will only be one step on your stairway to heaven, but at least you have gathered some experience and made some contacts.

Are you a miner?
Well that's cool. We don't have an Orca Pilot yet but if I see that we get enough miners in our corp, I might just learn this by myself which will take less than a month. Why train for something you possibly won't need?

We are still recruiting

You don't know what to do?
Be honest, have you really decided what you want to do? Or do you want to get an overview before you start investing your time in specialized skills? We can show you almost every aspect of the game that might interest you. Maybe we can help you decide what you want to become or maybe even you just want to be useful to our corporation and do what no one else does?

We are still recruiting

Are you flying a transporter?
We need people like you. You can help us save time alot. We can escort you through dangerous systems. Sometimes we need hauling between systems. That's all there is I think. Except that one day... when we want a space station, we will of course need freighters and stuff...

Many people think that there are too many corporations out there in space. This is probably true, but what isn't taken in consideration is that there are also so many different kinds of corporation.

Many corporations exist only for the fun, consisting of a bunch of buddys.
Other corps are created only because you can set your own taxes.

Then there are some very serious corps, some of which only exist to produce and consume, others going as far and creating alliances doing large scoped wars.

I, the CEO of Cosmonautic Privateering Agency need to give a clarification at this place:

Although we only consist of 3 members at the moment, we definetely are striving to become at least a mid-sized (30 members) corporation, so that we can effectively produce, sell and make profit, while preserving an easy to control structure and social network.

I am working hard on a new page for the Website.
It will feature a drag&drop part where you can submit your career wishes.
This will be compraed to some logic parameters and the output will say if you fit into our corporation in its actual state.

Beforehand I can tell you the following:

People who don't know what they do: come in and have fun until we are enough people.

Miners are a needed alot.

A few producers could get ready as soon as we have miners.

Fighters for the fun! but at some point we need people doing real jobs. Great to get ISK and faction standing however.

Traders will have to wait for miners and producers until they can sell corporation products

Transporters will have a long wait, because we are very small and don't need that much hauling.

Explorers are ok, as long as they can handle sites alone or when we have people who want to fight.

Researchers can already start their research with BPs, but we will invest not too much into BPOs until we get some producers

Why don't we give a ISK bonus when people enter our corporation?
To be honest, I have thought a lot about it, but in the end, I decided that this was an inefficient payout.

First of all, new members in our corporation are newbies, meaning that they don't really know what they need or want sometimes. It is thrown-out money when they buy something and later see that they don't use it.

It is better to help them decide what they want and then help them buying things they need. For example, a miner who absolutely wants to mine could get some money so he can buy his first mining barge. Or maybe even he might get a complete barge for free.

We are still recruiting

I recently got a very friendly helping offer(see comments below) via the website by a player who was with no doubt more experienced than me. His offerings sounded good: he could get us acces to lvl 4 and 5 missions and had a good mining barge and he wanted to teach us.

However, me and the 2 Co-Founders have decided at the beginning of the corp, that we do not take in people who are stronger than ourselves. This had several reasons, the most obvious, that the leadership should try and stay on top, regarding skills and experience or people may get disillusioned and may think that someone else is leading the corp.

I wanted to keep the gap between the leadership and players as small as possible, while still being someone they can look up to in some way. But I do not want to achieve this by having more points or skills by them, but just with the things I say or do.

Had I not already had bad experience in non-eve guilds and corporations after taking in too strong players, and if I had ignored that agreement I made with my 2 colleagues, I would with no doubt have accepted that offer.

Now, many people will say that we are boobs and are learning wrong. Maybe this is the case, but there are enough manuals and guides out there who help us find the right way. (Many many thanks to those guys writing all that stuff).

Our recruitment philosophy regarding "strong players"is as follows:

• We do not take in players who are far superior than anyone else in the corporation.


• When we take in players who want to teach, it will be players that will be settled between an average player and the leadership, regarding skills and playing time.

Teamplay is important but can defined in different ways. We have our own definition of teamplay.
To resume, we define teamplay as the act of "knowing each other". We are aware that there are other members in our corporation and all effort is made to not exclude them in any way. Without communication, a corporation cannot work.

Teamplay is not just about having weekly planned events. We do not behave like robots. We socialize.
This is also why we request a certain amount of maturity.
