It would be interesting to see a breakdown of population by demographics. I wonder if all the Employed/married/have kids/service people are in empire.
So, here's a challenge. Could anyone name a non noob 0.0 corp that wouldn't care if sometimes I have to travel, get deployed for 6 months, have to fix a booboo when the kid falls down, etc.
My corp tried but we are all older, employed, married, or have kids. Our prior fc's couldn't understand why our firefighter members had to leave when there was a gas explosion. Any 0.0 corps by adults for adults?
Er, and pls don't take this post negatively. I actually really would be happy to pew pew your reds to dust if ya let me.
i have always managed to find corps that would respect that i am too tired to log on for a week due to job.
if i had to go afk for whatever reason i did not expect the fleet to wait for me. either i caught up when ready or made my way home solo.
seen times when fc suddenly has to leave (kids, isp trouble, whatever) and there was always some one (sometimes me) to take over.
when i knew i had to travel for a prolonged period (again work) i would just relocate my stuff to empire and rejoin the horde when i was ready.
i am currently returning from a 2 month absence and my old corp has disbanded (actually merged with another corp) but i know it would be just one convo and i d have a home again.
the thing is ... dont fly with d!ckheads.
all that stuff is out there you just have to look for it.
rule 1: dont expect to be spoon fed
rule 2: if they behave like idiots or their goals dont match yours, leave. (well, all the corps i was in people behaved like idiots all the time and i loved it but on the business side of things they knew how to handle themselves)
rule 3: if harkley falls asleep at a gate, let him die and make fun of him the next day (or blow him up to save some of his faction fit :P )
You are basically describing my corp/alliance here.I just joined up a month back and have had a lot of 0.0 time before however this is the first time i feel my casual playstyle is not interrupting.As other mentioned i also have a wife and 2 small kids and work asks a lot of time.Our alliance is renting currently so yes that takes abit of the pressure off.We get a lot of small roaming gangs so pvp is never far off and if you want to rat in peace that also is not a problem.
My current corporation is verry laid back.You do what you want to and when you want to.Don't feel like pvp then go rat.Rather hang a week in empire , well go right ahead.Now the only problem with a lot of corps who have this casual approach , and this goes for my corp too , is that they also tend to take members who can be self sufficient.
So yes 0.0 can be for casual players you just have to look for a corp that truely has a laid back approach , wich a lot claim to have but when you join them it appears they don't.
I think one thing that empire people also tend to do is see time vs isk ratio.In other words if they spend 2 hours to get a ship to 0.0 they tend to think well that's 20 mille or more i could have raised doing missions.In 0.0 i like to forget time=isk , just try to enjoy the game in itself.
