Just have a go. We had a three man corp once and got decced by a small corp who wanted to ransom our POS. In the 24 hour grace period I took down the labs and removed most of the fuel from the POS just leaving it with shield hardners, a couple of damps and some rail batteries.
In the end we decided even though we had zero pvp experience to 'have a go'. So we fitted up a cheap T1 Megathron and a couple of drakes and went in to take on the guys taking down our POS.
Over the course of that evening they lost three battleships and we lost none AND we got to take down our POS and tuck it away safe. We didnt smack and the other guys were actually very good about it, no hard feelings and all that. They even said that they only wanted 100million as a ransom.
Was the best night of playing Eve we'd had. I didnt sleep much that night I had so much adrenaline pumping.
Get a load of T1 cruisers and frigs fitted out with loot/junk (I take it your corp has a cheap ship hanger with loads of cheap loot modules) and get into some jump clones and have some no risk fun.
It taught us a lot and it brought us closer as a corp. Sometimes a percived problem can be a blessing in disguise.
Also teaches you that having all the mineral processing skills to level 5 is worth jack if you cant field 5 drones or a HAM launcher.
Nothnig worse than being in a indy corp and getting into a tight spot and asking "ok who can fit a webber or scram?" silence.....
You'd be surprised how rarely you get smack, when you don't dish it out first. Nice job on that POS. If you are afraid to die, I would say you're "doing it wrong" - the worst that can happen is you lose some ISK and wake up in station. You took the risk, rose to the challenge, and look what you have under your belt now!
OP: Give it a try. If you guys can manage to make the best of it instead of being afraid, it might actually end up being fun. If you are civil about it, it usually turns out nice. And if it's a 200:1 gankfest, well, if you keep from smacking they might just get bored and leave off. It seems that the motivation to do that kind of thing is to get tears back. Remove the motivation for it to happen.
