If your an industrial corp its a good Idea to make friends with other pvpers by either joining an alliance and becoming a logistical back bone or just providing some stuff for them they cant get themselves. Thats a couple ways there to remedy this problem.

Hey if you havent noticed mineral prices especially trit is on the rise. If you know how to mine and do it well you will have isk. If you have Isk you never have to fight if you dont want too.

Higher Mercenaries. In Inferno they'll make the first attempt to fix the war dec system and there adding the mercenary market place which will help you have official in game contracts for mercenaries to protect you.

A quick look at your old corps bio shows they could be a good corp for you. Your CEO could make a shadow corp for indy toons to jump to at war . I agree people should park industrials during wars unless they are being used as bait for an ambush.

I used to CEO for a noob corp. Hated to see my guys get killed Its part of life here in EVE though. Some guys handled it better than others. You can't eliminate risk in EVE and it doesn't sound like you are trying to eleiminate it but it must be managed to make a profit. You should try to train for PVP at least a little. Make it part of your budget. Its an exciting part of the game you should try. It needs to be a team effort to be any fun though. Train for a rifter, if you have a few other people that are willing to try ewar, a few griffins can even things out. A crucifer can take a lot of dps off the field, I've never lost one. If you can't get a good sized fleet together though, go mow the grass

As a CEO, of a small corp I can see the benefit of staying docked. You protect your assets and livelihood to be used post wardec. A similar tactic is used in 0.0, for the same reason. However you are a miner so you probably have decent ind/mem. Train up low level ewar warp scram/ecm/vamps/target damps, maybe add in some buffers remote reps/sensors. If there are 5 in your corp and you take an ewar and a buff each, in 2 days you have a fleet.

Admittedly you wont alpha anyone but you will shut them down, whilst subjecting them death by a 1000 cuts. Infuriating and time consuming for them and you walk away with a juicy km instead of them. Twisted

You can create an alt on another account, train it for whatever you want it to do and then transfer the character to the main account for one thing.

Making an Alt for PvP

So i was thinking then that I would just make an alt train it up for pvp, add him to my corp, so when we get wardec'd i can just switch to my alt then i can actually be of some use and help fight. But apparently you can't train skills that your main has at the same time?

If this is true, why the restriction and what's the point of creating an alt? Well i guess one can spy i guess. :)


You could:

1.) Use a seperate account for your alt (the general EVE player has 2 accounts on avg.) and train it on there. Even temporary accounts can be used, create an account for say 4 months, train your alt on there for 4 months and then tranfer it to your main account.

2.) You could make / find some time on your main to pause training for a while to train your alt. A tackle PvP Alt only takes about 1 - 2 weeks of training.

Weeks? You mean days, don't you?
