As I have stated a few times, I mostly started an EVE account "early" to do some skill training. I have things I am doing, and EVE is not a primary thing (shock/horror) as I really really wanted to get some SP under my belt sorta thing, and just run odd missions for isk stock piles.

This is going to sound harsh, but the former is hurting the latter.


See, hard core players create alts, that they then try to get into enemy corps to act as a spy, awoxer, saboteur. These players don't want to spend a huge amount of time on these alts, so just run the odd mission on occasion while waiting for a fleet to form for their main.

Even the "just support roles" thing smells of saboteur. Dropping a point, not providing logistics, etc will sure help the alt's fleet lose a fight, while not being as obvious on the kill reports as.. say... not really doing much damage because your guns are never fully active.



So, unfortunately, if you want to get into a "good" corp, you have to stop looking more like an alt than an actual main. Just saying.a


Actually, useful advice, but I know a few people in RL that can vouch for at least a few places that I am not that type of danger, although I can see that I will have issues with some other places. I started playing because I started to have more then a handful of local players, so I'm good with all those, and the corps they have spent time with, that, at least, should give me a running start. I also went to the Australian event, so I made a few contacts there, all I have to say is "I was the guy that won one of the crappy EVE tinny holders" and I'll jog memories P

I apparently have no idea what I'm doing.
