EVE General Discussion

Yeah, but most of them also want a tiny amount of structure. Not to mention that anyone mining doesn't pay tax so will be seen as non-contributing. If this was a readily doable plan, ther entire rental space would be filled with alt corps. But it's not.
Having been in a corp that rented, it's just not as simple as "dump them in a corp, come back and harvest isk". They are players, not crops.

Well across my characters I've been in 3 renter alliances. All of them had the same core features:
- No CTAs
- Wartime defense of the space (roams are your own problem, not theirs)
- Only low/no income moons available
- Some JBs available
- Limited Intel Channels

Anything beyond that is up to your corp to arrange. They don't provide logistics or roam defense, but at the same time they don't make demands of you. Sure the rules may differ from alliance to alliance, but an overlord structure would insinuate that the alliance will make you do their bidding, which just isn't the case in renting. I stick by my stance that a renting corp gets treated less like a peon than a member corp of most alliances.

Get yourself a nullified T3 or learn to use a a scanning scout and wormholes to bypass camped systems. Leave the annoms to the scrubs and blitz null or low DEDS and get guaranteed faction. No rent needed for that.

For the majority just knowing the CEO logs on once a day to sort any issues out (even if only for 5-10 mins) is enough.
While true miners don't pay tax, if you recruit them - recruit the ones that don't have the ability to compress / get what they've mined to a place to sell easily without help - that's when you can charge a small percentage for doing that (ok it takes a couple of decent skilled alts to do, but it's very viable). The other option is buy the ore from them at a discounted rate (most are happy to take a bit less than market value if they dont have to haul).
But usually you only recruit ratters who also have alts that might mine a bit, not 100% miners, so that's not usually a concern.

It can be done (I've had such an alt corp running before for well over 6 months until I got bored), it's worth the investment and when you have a couple of decent skilled alts doing nothing you can use for the odd pos + corp admin / compress and hauling every few days then it works very well.


Welcome to EvE a sandbox game of social engineering at it finest.
Other players are just utilities to provide you with what you want. For some people that means having someone to fly with, for others someone to shoot at. Yet there are people in the game who get their fun by simply shooting at red X's all day - if you can provide them with a service that lets them do that and profit from it - why not.

The rise in numbers of "systems for rent" across null may help bring the price of same renting systems down. This "renting" thing may bring a lot of people into nulll sec again. Which is not a bad thing. This could even help some of the renters become systems owners themselves.

I don't recall saying anything about nerf highsec. Do you have me confused with someone else.



Note: I don't want anyone to come to Null. I don't want my Neighborhood too crowded.

When individual players in the game measure their wealth by the trillions, and their monthly personal income by the hundreds of billions, you really have to wonder what they do with that money. At least, some wonder. The obvious answer is the one that shall not be named.

TEST Alliance is back?

No, join ncdot, that way your isk will go towards destroying gsf

This is both your answer and where you fall from understanding.

Think of it this way:
Why pay rent for a house you don't own?

Someone, other than the renter, took the initiative and spent an enormous amount of time and resources to secure that space, So you could come just come by and make isk.

If you want it for free, come and take it.
