do you understand what is the corporation in Eve? Have you even tried to learn what you need to make a corp and settle into 0.0 space? You want to be "free" and at the same time you want someone to babysitting you: organize corp, rent a office, put a POS, take sovereignty and pay for it, defend space to your ISK farming? grow a little
Dude did you read what i said about SOV. i know that has to be paid for |

If more peeps like you come out say up front what you have stated, would make my job much easier to recruit.
I would just pass you right over because you are nothing more than a leach and have absolutely nothing to contribute. Care to tell me how i am leaching I would defend your space i would pay for my own ships i would provide security on your mining ops. I would escort your convoys. So please tell me what im missing as you would not have to pay a single thing for me
First off everyone of the recruits I had to deal with for the last 5 years in null sec / lo sec that has this attitude have never contributed in any way that had any meaning to the growth or stability to the group.
The ship reimbursement programs always out paid there total monthly contribution of a 20% jew tax we had at the time. It rewarded the folks that actually participated and the ones that wanted to run plexes paid for the ones that actually contributed.
Taxes are just a function that allows corps and alliances to have nice things. This benefits all the members. Some of us do not have moon goo or other isk printing machines for us to roll around in.

Oh, the "Mission Runners Wanted." That means, "Please come pay for our PVP exploits."
You're being melodramatic by framing this as a Freemen vs. Serfs struggle. It's Good Corps vs. Crap Corps.
Avoid Crappy Corps and you will be happier. I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs. |

Really with the ease you can make isk in EVE, is it that troublesome to give away a lowly 10% *if* that gets you lots of fun in return?
If you're in a good corp you won't even notice it. If you're in a bad on the other hand.....
TL;DR: find your self a good corp. |

To OP,
I feel as though none of your concerns can be addressed by individuals who have lead null-sec corps and alliances. It is hard to explain every single nuance to somebody who just doesn't 'get it'.
Anything short of you actually leading a corp and alliance of like minded individuals into null-sec and holding SOV will not teach you the eccentricities involved.
TL;DR OP's post is pointless and he should just go experience it first hand. |

@OP
Be ready to answer a few essay questions on "objectivism" and join TTI.
sounds pretty much like what you are looking for (and is one of the oldest active corporations in EVE, kinda hard to miss). |

Ive lead highsec Alliances/corps (before i burned out) and there were no taxes. if people wanted to run a POS then they could off their own back.
and i already stated that SOV is different as they take a lot of paying for. please read the thread |

You might not find one because of this "mine mine mine" attitude your carrying around.
Oh yeah ship replacement programs. You've obviously never flown in any decent fleet engagements as otherwise you might realise that alot of times it isn't an individuals fault that they died and you lived. Its simply they got called primary and you didn't. So in an ideal world your 10% pays for their ship when it happens to them and theirs pays for yours when the same happens to you.
Its a team thing. You probably wouldn't understand as you are one of those "free men." |

Look, just because you can't be bothered to imagine what you want to free yourself from doesn't mean you're any more or less free than anyone else.

And as I stated it is a lot more complicated than just SOV bills. SOV bills usually don't fall on the corp anyways so corp tax is in no way ever used to pay SOV bills (possible exception for renter corps). There may be related costs for the SOV hence the eccentricities/nuances involved.
Highsec corps are sometimes a poor example as a lot of them could likely run tax free. There are several corps out there just to get your tax ISK.

But you should probably still try to define your freedom and your worries, and try to put them into practice before decrying something very freeman-like as robbing you of your freedom.

Sorry OP but I can't see what you see printed inside your blinkers and because of them I don't think anyone can show you what lies beyond.
As for Tipsy, they like repeating themselves in different ways until people stop finding it funny or they just give up and move to another thread. Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Have you ever been in charge of a 0.0 corp, ?? judging by your posts it appears not.
you make the standard wrong assumption that all null corps have R64's pumping isk into corp wallet which is just
a good and well placed null corp within a good alliance will be paying around 250mil/month in sov bills in addition to this add around a bil for TCU/SBU, and system upgrades for ratting/mining etc a well placed logistical network will need jump bridges/fuel so add around 250mil/month for these factor in a couple of pos's with modules and fuel a few corp offices located at losec for pilots to move around easier. corp jump freighters at 5bil each plus jump fuel/cynos to move pilots assets in and move there **** out corp carriers to move fitted ships in, corp supplied logistic fleets guardians etc for corp roams and CTA's
so tbh 10% taxation to pay for the above and provide basic services for corp members is a minimum req, if you wanna live in null as a corp with no taxation, i cant see you surviving very long.

If you're not willing to contribute to the team then you're not a person that I, or most other CEOs, would want in their corporation.
That 10 or 15% may very well go towards buying a new player their first Caracal or Drake, and some skill books, which might then make that player feel welcome enough to continue to play the game and stay with your corp, which may then get wardeced.
Then maybe, just maybe, that new player who your all-so-important 10% helped to get a foothold in the game, will ride to the rescue and save your sorry ass and its "me me me" attitude from being blown to sh*t by an attacking force who actually choose to work as a team.
Or maybe you'll just have some friends to mine and mission with.
In short - if you're not willing to sacrifice even a token amount for the benefit of others then this is the wrong game for you. |

If you like research or manufacturing then your worries are probably going to be about BPOs and POS fuel. Group efforts and pooled resources make these less bothersome.
If you like PVP then your worries will be about replacing ships.
If you like running Incursions, then your worries will be about replacing REALLY EXPENSIVE ships.
If you like the trade/market game, then your worries will be about cobbling together enough capital to move the market one direction or another (I guess).
If you like running wormholes then you'll be worried about trustworthy companions to not rob you blind, on top of really expensive ship replacement, on top of POS management.
Whatever is a PITA for one person is usually less of a PITA for multiple people.
That's what Tippia was talking about.
If you worry about paying taxes, and just want to solo farm missions....make a 1-man corp w/ zero percent taxes. DONE! I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things...

Thank you for this and its insightful but i have to say just a few things
PVP you replace your own ships
Incursions you replace your own ships
Market games are normally done by individuals and not very often on behalf of a corp/alliance
People Buy there own BPOS. if the corp buys a BPO then it belongs to the CEO as when you leave you cant take it with you if you ever decide to.
WHs are on the money. you do need a percentage taken out to pay for the upkeeep of a group POS in nullsec |

GǪand this is why you need to try it. You just described a number of needless limitations to you game that you wouldn't have to worry about, and withou which you'd be more free to play the game you wanted to play. You're alse quite wrong about those last few points.

I understand where you're coming from OP. You must realize however that the corp and alliance leaders are bourgeoisie themselves and is it not their function to use the more brutish, slow and dirty people beneath them? I use that term (bourgeoisie) is the best possible light seeing how the idea itself has been dragged through the mud in the past and indeed still is. As if there was some shame in properly tending to the lower people and utilizing them with efficiency in mind?
The higher life can indeed be a lonely one OP especially at first but in time you will learn to take pleasure in moving your servants around like chess pieces and eventually you will meet other free people through your endeavors.
I am not entirely convinced that there exists corps and alliances available for freeman as you inevitably and invariably will find yourself under some type of control or manipulation by a person you have submitted to and made your better.
Throughout everything always find amusement and delight in the plight of the serfs for they really are at the core of things not as pathetic and detestable as they may seem. They are just a very, very simple people who were born to be controlled and really... the world needs people light that. |
