I thought we have one. The one because of which I , as true gallentian, do not want to join any caldary or amarr corporation (joke). It seems tome, that if you want to find your story in eve - you can do it even now. With all historical background CCP already created and tonns of fanfiction.

How do you imagine a storyline for you, Beagle Expeditions vet and for me, two weeks old newbee? Should we get approximately same goals at the end? Wouldn't that be just another "Sisters of Eve" missions convo?

EVE has one of the most extensive lore in the universe.

Someone already mentioned RvB. If you just want a place to go to learn to PvP, in a setting where everyone else is learning too, it's a good choice.

Another option is EVE University. They are not just a PvP corp, but they do get wardecced, and they have fairly frequent scheduled wars with other corps like RvB. Unlike 99% of corps in high sec, when they are at war, they have enough people that they can undock and do something about it instead of just hiding in station. They also have a losec camp, or at least used to, which is a subset of people that live and hunt in low more or less full time.

Either corp would offer you something that you seem to be looking for, which is a nontrivial number of people who want to do the same things as you. If you really want to just PvP all the time and learn how to not (always) get your ass handed to you, then RvB is probably a better start.

Either way, both are very large and well known high sec corps, and lots of other corps tend to recruit their members, because they do a good job teaching new players. So either one will give you a good start, and you will have a good chance of finding a solid more specialized corp to move on to when you're ready.

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Wait ...what?

Noone wants to satisfy the people who don't like pvp. Especially ones who don't think more than 3 seconds before posting nonsense. No storylines?...there are so many in EVE you must be deaf, dumb and blind.

This. Sadly, that seems to be the way it is in EVE - I'm sure there are counters but it seems like a newer player has no chance against the guy flying his Loki.

Have you looked at a pvp training corp? They are out there, and some of them have set rules you need to follow while a part of them, but it may be what you need to get past the skill point gap.

There are plenty of counters - for example, here is a dead Pandemic Legion Vagabond.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17485994

Note we brought a lot of people, and we used Ewar, and I'll bet we used Logi in that fight too (protip : when in doubt, bring a blackbird).

And we were in a fleet, and on comms.

Here's a dead Loki as well.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17403989

Lookie that. Thirteen people, and a blackbird.

Regarding missioning, this morning, I finished Angel Extravaganza in my Domi - except it was properly fit for PvP, with some thick armor for buffer tank. and I had the fleet on standby about three jumps away in case I got jumped.

And you could have used a Drake in the same way.

Regarding industry in low, the first Archon comes out of the cooker in ten days or so.

So yeah, you can do it - but EvE isnt a solo game, and if you try and play it that way, with PvP on your terms when you want it, then that usually doesnt work.

TLDR : The OP wanted his isk per hour, and wasnt Brave. Now he isnt having fun.

I think you missed the entire point.

There is not much 1 4 month old account can do against one. Thus me waiting for corpmates to log on so we can get the numbers to clear the road

And BTW I dont care about isk/hr. I dont care about taht at all.

But when I dont have enough isk to fit up another 5mil T1 frig, well thers sort of an issue there.

Theres a great deal a four month account can do against one. For a start, you can get on comms, and in corp chat, and get a group together to take them down.

And 5 mill frigs ? Theres five-packs of Atrons on corp contracts for that, and the fittings and rigs on my Blackbirds and Exequors dont come to 5m. Sure, if you gold plate them with ACRs and so on you can get a frig to cost 5m, but it'll be as effective in fleet as any other.

Regarding cash flow, clone soldiers in belts are dropping 100m tags, and eight newbies in cruisers can run a class 3 wormhole.

That and you can just *ask* for frigates.
