Hello everybody,

I come to you to discuss a corporation project that i have been thinking of.
I stopped EvE several month ago due to some boring aspect of this game, but i'm wanting to come back with a new style of play

What have been bothering me :
- Boring play sessions to make money:
+ Mining: well, i don't see the point except maybe making isks while watching TV. I personally do it as a mean to fill time when i'm managing assets and studying fits
+ High sec PvE, repetitive and slow. Doing missions in fleet seems to be of little interest since it is more profitable if every one is doing his own mission (maybe i'm wrong on this, but it feels this way). Aggro managment is non-existent anyway so it's not really interesting either.

- Irregular PvP sessions :
+ Hours of roaming without finding interesting targets.
+ Boring camp gate with only some lone ship passing by.
Who never spent an evening roaming without results, went to bed at 11pm and found out on the morrow that at 11:15pm a fleet appeared and offered great fights.

well i did. And when you can only play twice a week, it is very frustrating. so i wondered: how can i have PvP opportunities without spitting my game time between boring PvE and uncertain waiting for PvP.

The answer i found: play in low sec, not only for PvP purposes, but for everything. So i took my rifter, roamed through low sec space, ratting belt and attacking passing targets. I had some success, a lot of defeats, but above all, every time i played, everything could happen. Even the boring stuff i did were more "tasty" because of the pressure.

But playing alone in not really motivating, so i searched for a corporation following this play style, no luck so far, low sec corps are PvP only and every one must sustains himself financially. Not a good style of play for casual gamers.

I would like to form a corp with people accepting to do everything in low sec.
The play-style i propose is the following:
1) Only fly in PvP fleet with PvP fitted ship that we can afford to loose, and go PvE to make money. I know that the isk/h ratio is less this way, but fun is better than isks
The goal will be to earn the most with these constraints.

2) Always help each others, miners and traders need fighters to watch their back.

3) produce stuff directly in low sec to lighten logistic, We use loot reprocess, local trade and mining to get the minerals

4) Above all, i want corp organization allowing casual gamers to feel involved without being left behind because they can't afford a great ship.

I also think that a corporation need a game objective to allow its play style and to offer short term goal. I was thinking of a low sec colonization project, with the creation of a small hub. But any proposition could do.

The goal of this message is to find people interested by this play style and to discuss about it. So if you are interested contact me, either here or in game.
