Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Who Are You?

Are you curious about Null-Sec play in Eve? Do you hunger for the sweet, sweet taste of Arkanor and Mercoxit? Ever wanted to build capital ships? Want to combat Battleships and Dreadnoughts in asteroid belts? Not sure how to move from Hi-Sec into the untamed wilderness? Worried about getting lost in a giant Corp with a huge set of demands and expectations?

We're looking for new members who align with our Mission, interests and values:

• Adult - We're largely 35+ adults who enjoy the complexity of the game, and building dreams, not destroying them;
• Mature - 'Harvesting Tears', ePeen, smacktalk, Piracy, abuse, racism/sexism/homophobia are never tolerated;
• Collaborative - We help each other and our allies to grow, build, learn, and (since it's Eve) survive;
• Fun - We see Eve as a game, a distraction, an amusement and entertainment, not a job or obligation;
• Ambitious - We've got a plan - big plans - and need help to advance our agenda of galactic domination;
• Trustworthy - Be reliable, be consistent, be kind, be generous, be the kind of human you wish there were more of;
• Established - Capsuleers with 10m+ skill points (about a half a year's worth of play);
• Compatible - Industrialist (mining/manufacturing/research/invention) or Combat (to protect the rest of us!);

We're particularly looking for Mining Directors, Jump Freight capable pilots, and a seasoned Fleet Commander or two to build our Corp's Combat Air Patrol and Advance Scout Wings.

Who Are We?

We're an adult, low-stress industrial Corp newly based in a -.9 Security System looking for new Members who are interested in mining, building, markets and camaraderie. We're small, but well-established (3+ years) in an excellent location in NPC Null-Sec (an area of the galaxy that can't be conquered by large Alliances). No expectations or requirements for game play - we're real people with real lives and won't pressure anyone to be online or logged in.

We offer a variety of infrastructure, support and benefits:

• Established - Access to/good standings with local neighbours in the system and constellation;
• Supported - Docking rights at five structures in-system (including Capitals), Cloning, Manufacturing, and Reprocessing locally;
• Resourced - Seven asteroid belts, and an ice-belt in-system (including Arkanor, Bistot, Crokite and Mercoxit);
• Inaccessible - Quiet 'Dead End' system, out-of-the-way with no strategic value to larger Corps/Alliances;
• Accessible - 'Jump Bridge' of Corp structures (with tethering for safety) from Amarr Trade Hub;
• Serviced - Local shipping destination Structure with an excellent, fast, neutral, commercial shipping Corp;
• Serious - Rorqual, Dreadnaught, Orca and other key industrial resources 'in-house' and available;

We're currently building a Tech I Industrial and Combat ship replacement programme, expanding our 'Jump Bridge' network to Jita as well, and building the resource base to eventually launch and protect our larger Engineering Complexes.

We're primarily active in the European timezones, English-speaking but friendly to non-native speakers, and actively want players who are new to null-sec (as we were!)

What to Do

If this appeals to you, and you'd like to learn more, join our public channel for an initial chat: AquitainePub

Direct applications - without having spoken to one of our existing Members in the Corp Chat Channel - will have a lower priority for consideration.

FAQ - So isn't Null-Sec treacherous and mean and everyone/thing is trying to kill you all the time?

Surprisingly, not that much more than Hi-Sec. The rats in belts are bigger and meaner, and there's no Concord to come save you from a Capsuleer aggressor, but at least in our corner of the galaxy, the neighbours are nice, and it's far enough out of the way that an aggressor REALLY needs to make an effort to get to the system.

During peak EU hours (Eve Time evenings), generally there's one 'visitor' a night who's possibly a threat, but a regional intel channel gives us notice before they arrive, and watching local allows for a quick retreat to one of the five Structures to either stay safe, or switch to a PvP hunting ship.

To be fair, getting TO us does mean an initial trek from Hi-Sec (train an Interceptor), but once you're local, then our in-Corp 'jump bridge' and some well-placed clones mean that you're rarely at risk moving long distances.

FAQ - So aside from the basics, a good sense humour and helpful, anything in particular that you're looking for in a pilot?

While we're not a new Corp, this is the first time that we're adding members to the original three that have been running it together for the past few years, so we're looking for someone who's also interested in (or at least patient with) building up to about 20 members over time.

Otherwise, bonus points for having and being able to pilot a Jump Freighter, Orca or Porpoise (we've got our own Rorqual as well in system already), good skills in Mining, Refining and Industry, and experience with PI (to help with fuel blocks).

Finally, while we're not a PvP Corp, we ARE looking for a few people with good combat skills and experience to help protect our mining operations, scouting, freight escort, and support with ratting.

FAQ - What about the neighbours? Who else is around?

We're in the dead-end at the terminus of a long pipe, and there are two other groups in the system: one, a French industrial corp, and the other, a Korean industrial/PvP corp. Both are blue with us, friendly, speak varying degrees of English as well, and have granted access us access to their structures in-system (as we, with them in ours).

We, and those groups, essentially populate (though don't have hard control of) the entire pipe and collectively have a significant presence in the regional market hub as well, which, given a well-populated Intel channel, provides reasonable warning of unwanted threats approaching. Wormhole visitors aside, we get a threat in-system perhaps once every four or five hours on an average day.
