EVE General Discussion

How can that possibly be meant in a good way

finding a place to belong to can be difficult. I've found that looking for people who share your short term and long term goals can be a good starting point. So what do you want to do in eve? industry? pvp? fly caps? WHs pvp/pve? incursions? faction warefare? whatever it is you just need to find a corp that can support this activity.

Eve encourages players to go inactive for months or even a year at a time it's all part of it's scam err charm. corporations that are properly managed wont have issues with many people going inactive to play other games and letting their characters train for that new ship etc. that being said corporations are organizations of people thus will change over time and also have their own problems. if it's dead it's dead, move on. Also if you as a member of a dwindling corp are unwilling to step up where your corp needs you because you are focused on you, why bother being in one? just make your own and play the game like a single player space sim.

there are truly very few good highsec corps that are not just one man show or tax/buyback scam corp. WH space is a little bit better because there are many assets on the line and isk split unfairly will result in many people leaving or awoxing members. nullsec organizations are the best corps in the game but they are not all made the same and are often very selective for good reason. Obviously if only one guy is doing your entire alliances jf service then he's going to charge whatever he wants. if only one person is importing things and selling on the market/contracts then you're going to be price gouged a considerable amount. if only one guy is building your super capitals then he can charge what ever he wants. if your alliance lives in fear of your own space and cannot rat/mine because membership is unwilling to fight you're obviously in the wrong corp.

You and only you, are able to press the button to join a corp... you also hold a responsibility to meet the corps standards and a responsibility to yourself to research the corps conditions and environment. Don't complain that you cant find a corp that you like. Take responsibility for your own decision and stop asking others to do it for you.

I hear OP, many corps out there are unstable because of leadership (lack of), but OP should also be making a list of required (desired) , functions/features from a corp.

You mentioned JF service that is reasonable, this can get a little tricky, what is reasonable JF and the service they provide cost isk and risk to operate, lose a JF and your taking billions in loss.

So your options are move it yourself or live in a null corp that borders high sec, expecting services without costs are unreasonable when compared with the riches that are in null, also think of the value you add, are you just farming and just trying to get profits while not doing much except being a number and a bullet sponge, what can you do for the corp that adds real value to it, being a number or a sponge isn't really much value.

As far as active, you need to find a big enough corp that the numbers are there and get involved by being involved , if the corp is in an alliance even better.

My suggested action is to sit down and write a list of wants and what you add, if the math isn't there you'll know it's probably not a good fit.
