So I'm pretty much corpless, dont really konw too many people, very inexperienced with the game. I don't know really what to do. I want to try things in eve but I'm a bit scared to. Incursion people are too... how shall I say critical and particular in what you fly apparently. I don't have any ships that can fly them at th emoment but I think I can afford one. I'm terrified of making mistakes becuase ppl tend to jump on you. I already got into an acquire conversation about my personal legion fit which, I admit isn't fancy or probably practical for most purposes but I use it for my own personal situations. Needless to say I want to enjoy and have fun but I'm at the moment limited in what I can do.
On top of that I want to find a corp, The corp I have now is my own personal corp more like a placeholder to avoid being in NPC corps so I don't get ppl attacking me within the npc corp as I can'ta fford to lose my ships right now. I can't seem to find a corp that I feel would fit me. There are a few that apparently really badly want me but I'm just a bit scared to go ahead and join one. I've already had a bit of a bad experience with a null sov corp and I dont want to put myself into that situation again. And as it stands I'm not really able to do much on my own obvoiusly. I really wish I knew what to do. I was told to look into e-uni corp but I don't meet their standing requirements. I'm at a loss as to what to do right. I dont think I could just join a corp, being that eve is so ruthless unlike all other MMO's. I keep having to play it safe absolutely dreading making a critical mistake. I've made a few of those and lost ships I shouldn't have lost. People tried scamming stuff off me, obviously I know better but You get what I mean. I'm not sure what to do at this point. |

Faction warfare is pretty managable when it comes to isk as its mostly frigates, i wouldnt fly a legion around looking for pvp because you will be hunted and will lose it moments after leaving highsec, learning in frigs is cheap and fun,

Well.... as it happens, there's a bunch of really fun laid back players recruiting right now. Us.
When it comes to what you fly, we focus more on composition rather than doctrine, and you'll rarely see us in the same ship too often. We find that people using the same stuff over and over are too easily predictable. We don't like being predictable, so go nuts.
We don't care what you fly as much as we might ask questions regarding what you lose.
As for shiploss, we have SRP depending on circumstances. We'd cover that in more detail if you joined.
We are a PVP focused corp though. We don't care if you don't know anything about PVP because we'll teach you a lot more than just orbit+f1. But we do want you to PVP if you join. There's no playing it safe with us, there's only playing it fun. And we'll teach you to have as much fun whelping ships as you do killing them.
What we are in a nutshell: smallscale lowsec pirates that aren't afraid of butting heads with bigger dogs.

All of the above.
On top of that:
Quote:The corp I have now is my own personal corp more like a placeholder to avoid being in NPC corps so I don't get ppl attacking me within the npc corp
I've never heard of that. You do risk"" being wardecced in your own corp while NPC corps are immune from that.
Anywho, loosing stuff, getting blown up, scammed etc. is just part of EVE. It's almost unavoidable. Learn to live with that, to shrug it off and move on to the next target you've set out.
And mistakes, we make them all. No problem as long as you learn from them.

Ideally I'd like to show you that you can indeed trust null sec corps, if there is anything I can do to that effect, let me know.
If you absolutely don't want to trust a corp, your options are basically limited to everything that doesn't need larger numbers to pull off, solo or small group pvp in lowsec or faction warfare, exploration, mining and industry stuff.
General advice: If anyone wants something from you that has an ingame value to them, they probably don't have your best interests in mind. Also if they really want you and you are really new, chances are they will just give you everything you need where they live, no need to ship anything anywhere or hand anything over. |

His Excellency must be moved to Amarr, and am sadly becuase I am been entrusted of good faith to transfer special funds of money for his Excellency Chief Pokalottatwat.
Due to transfer of funds and no Amarrian bank accounts, it is been entrusted to me for so move funds for Big Chief Pokalottatwat. Your name come to me from friends and many others of repute in galaxy. We must transfer 100 million isk for bank account of Mr Big Chief Pokalottatwat. Because of tranaction tax and mistrust of Amarrian bankers of my Big Chief, I am for to have contact person of repute to assist in this matter.
For your time you are to be having 23% of isk to be moved from Niarja to Amarr. Please first forward to me details of your account with number and location so that we may first transfer funds then after taxes give to you 23%. Time is urgent.
Thank You, Boombas Mumbatukameep Accepted of Finance and Honorable

I've done this plenty of times across multiple characters i"ve NEVER been wardecced and if I was I'd just go play an alt and wait out the wardec. In an npc corp they can shoot you without penalty. I'm flying a few ships that I don't want to risk that way. I don't do anything to warrant a wardec. I don't see the benefit, even the dickish ones, to wardeccing a 1 man corp that is so far off grid you'd need an electron microscope to see me. |

I actaully though about faction warfare, but the problem is money. I want to be able to do stuff to make money and if i'm in FW people can attack me in high sec if i wanted to lets say mine. Now I have an alt that I joined FW just to experience it, fun as hell but she is literally fresh out of the box so her skills aren't the best. First day of FW I fitted a rifter and went to go look for something to shoot at, the station I was at had 2 legion WT and i was immediatly 1 shot upon exiting the station. So ya I couldn't do any type of mission running or mining in high sec. Yes I HAVE heard there are faction missions but honestly I don't want to ruin my standings on this character which is the main reason I didn't do it on my main. |

Well I was in a null provi SOV corp for about a month, it was an interesting experience. For the most part I was doing nothing but mining and sansha hubs simply because the corp was so new and all the people that were recruited were brand newbs and I was one of the only pilots able to fly stuff to be self sufficient. And due to a falling out with the CEO, he was by f ar a ****, I left that corp. Now I know this is my only experience with null so far but it wasnt the best one and i'm very hesitant. I dont care about blowing up certain ships. But I like to fly blingy ships and I dont have a good way to make the money to replace them if I blow them up. I have been wanting to join a WH corp since I heard they get a bit of everything and actually are great for isk making. As far as what I actually want to do? I don't knw. I haven't experienced hardly anythign in this game. I JUST started fw on the one of my other alts, I have only been in null a month and it was a not the best experience. I'm about to try incursions too and ironically one of the corps wanting me in their ranks is a high sec incursion corp but I dont know if i want to be in a high sec corp high sec is a bit boring :/. Even if they say incursions are intense awesome and all that jazz. |

I forgot to mention in my other replies, my main focus isn't pvp so much, its fun to do don't get me wrong but the simple fact is I dont really care to fly frigates or destroyers all the time to pvp. I mean my favorite type of ships to use range from cruisers to bs's. You can't really use those too wel in pvp I have found. Now in curions on the other hand are able to do that and they aren't pvp of course. I want to blow stuff in blingy ships, can't realy do that in pvp, unless you are so loaded with isk throwing away billions a fight isn't a problem and well I don't think there are a whole lot of ppl that do that, I could be wrong. |

Ok wow, I saved this one for last. I haven't the SLIGHTEST idea how to take your post. Are you being sarcastic, roleplaying, serious? I'm not trying to be rude, mean, or making fun. I simply am just trying to get an idea of how to take this post. I can't hardly understand half of it and I just can't make heads or tails of what you are trying to say... |

EVE is a PVP game which includes PVE content that you can still be PVP'd while trying to run. And don't be silly, there is no such thing as a ship that isn't capable or is less capable of PVP. We use a wide variety.
Shunning PVP in a PVP game is how you make it harder for yourself. And make no mistake, this is a PVP game, which is why the PVE content is so generic and repetitive, as if it's an afterthought. It's your call at the end of of the day, though.

Start off by actually telling us what you would want to do in EVE, but can't because of X obstacles?
I know you typed a long post somewhat telling us your issues, but really tell us what you want to do. If you don't know specifics of exact professions, then tell us a little bit about what you generally like to do in games. These really help others understand what you're talking about and could really allow them to make suggestions.
For example, I came to EVE 10 years ago, I started playing for a year and then asked if piracy existed in this game. Someone quickly linked me to some stuff about m0o Corp and what they had done etc. Then I got some insight on what I should focus on skillwise and who the up and coming pirate outfits were. That's when I joined one of the first pirate alliances in the game. It was all downhill from there.
Hope that helps.

Go make some friends, join public channels for the things you want to do. You'll increase your chances of finding a corp, get advice on how to do the things you want to do, etc...
Alternatively, you could just run missions solo until you're bored to tears...

Well, I want to make lots of isk to buy blingy ships to blow up other ships, be it pve or pvp :P. I guess null isn't out of the question I just need to find a somewhat decenly sized corp that is really active. I don't want to get stuck out in null like I did before which is what I'm most fearful of. I actually liked it in null. Though my pvp experiences were bad. |

That's a good start.
It sounds like you are shooting for a pretty generic corporation that offers a wide variety of activities from missions to PvP to even potentially mining and production. These types of corporations are really a dime-a-dozen in EVE. It's just some do it better than others. I'm sure some posters may give you some suggestions on good overall corps that are not in NULL, but overall I would suggest doing your own research for corporations that may be your cup-of-tea. If you can't find ones, then hit up the recruitment channel in-game as well in the forums. See who is willing to recruit you and then research all the submissions for the best option.
At the end of the day, no one can give you a sure-thing. You just have to make the best choice and hope it works out. If not, leave and keep searching for a corporation who is going to satisfy your needs with a good ISK income and corp mates that can help you along the way.

If PvP with PvE on the side is your thing then a WH corp would also fit your bill, just make sure you pick the right corp and not a gang of complete muppets like the ones that moved in our old c3 WH (and started shooting our POCO). For 3 days we watched as they were constantly ganged by half of EVE from the looks of it, hell we were afraid that they might actually just back up and leave before our planned "visit" when POCO would return from reinforcement. I mean frankly we couldn't keep our face straight from what our scouts reported back to us. |

Convo me in game about incursions. I can definitely help you fit a proper ship and get started. Also, can you help get into SOE L4s, which are a good isk maker. I'd tend to avoid highsec PvE corps - the ones that publicly recruit are terrible.
If you want nullsec, try Waffles, or a similar entry level corp. Remember that you don't need a corp or nullsec to enjoy the game, there is tons of fun to be had in highsec incursions or L4s, and I'd be happy to get you involves...just convo me sometime in game. |
