This is an alt obviously.
So my alliance is running non stop 24/7 mandatory participation CTA around the clock. Nobody is allowed to go ratting or anything except fight. Tax rate has been at 100% for a LONG time now. The alliance even has a mandate to shoot and pod anyone not participating in the mandatory CTA.
Its not an isolated case of a bad nullsec alliance either. EVERY nullsec alliance I've ever been in does this. I'm told that this is common and standard procedure for all nullsec alliances. If that's the case, then how do I make money in nullsec? Everytime I move to nullsec I end up losing money instead of making any due to the above. At this rate I think I should've stayed in highsec.
At least in highsec I had isk income, albeit small income. I'm sick of getting threatened and screamed at on coms by our FC's (makes the 50dkp guy sound mild in comparison).
Maybe I should just find another game? |

PL isn't really a nullsec alliance anymore. All the others are part of CFC.
As for OP, switch alliance. And you just joined all rubbish alliances who can't defend their space and cause of that they need to call CTAs every single time. Also some nullsec regions tend to be more hostile (Geminate for example) then others. But there are plenty of alliances who don't call CTAs every single minute of EvE, though being in SOV nullsec means there is always the possibility to get one to defend your space. Not defending means no space. No space means no more ISK making. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

OP, why would you stay past finding the 100% tax rate and being screamed at?
Don't forget that you are paying your sub. It may just require more research or working into alliances more through recommendations from people you have met or something.
Don't know, but it sounds terrible. |

PL are hired guns, they are null-sec but don't perma live in a space. They more where ever their contract makes them move. Seen them in the old NC war, seen them in the Drone Russian war, now they are in Delve.
And TASHA and 99 are pets / minions / renter / what ever of TEST, means they are part of the CFC cause of their overlords Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

This.
If you hate the alliance you are in, why do you stick around.
EVE is a game, EVE is paid by your money Following those 2 statements, EVE should be played the way YOU have fun playing it. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

You can't hire PL anymore and even in the past were contract more for the amusement of the membership than a needed income source.
Quote:And true your list doesn't have must CTAs but then again, most people don't want anything to do with players who are part / were part of the CFC. So what, the OP asked for alliances without or less CTAs and i told him viable alternatives, because he didn't specified any alignements. |

Very few will do this, since member retention becomes a massive issue.
I honestly think you're trolling, or trying to vastly exaggerate the issue. For instance, I can't find a single corp on dotlan in the top 30alliances with a tax rate over 20%, though I will admit I only spent a handful of minutes looking. Certainly, it was not "all of them" though -- and most of the ones I looked at are involved in the current Deklein conflict.
Having said that, and assuming you want to stay, you can make a lot of money by seeding markets in the regions your alliance is warring in. Should be easy if you're flying a doctrine setup. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's |

Instead of bashing 0.0 alliances, how about you ask yourself why you're in a 0.0 alliance.
A good alliance will provide you with ships for warfare so why do you need ISK so desperately? If you'd rather farm ISK instead of participate in fleets, you don't belong in nullsec. |

Actually very, very true.
Being in a SOV null-sec alliance means you agree with the fact that you have to PvP, you agree with the fact others might take your space and you need CTAs to defend it.
If you want massive ISK farming, SOV null-sec is not the place to be. It has great ways to make ISK but like in EVE there is Risk vs Reward. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

I found this particular statement highly discouraging. I'm not adverse to PvP, but ever since I moved back out to nullsec all I've done is lose money. Ship replacement in my alliance is a joke as it's often either delayed indefinitely or outright denied.
I guess highsec really is the place to be, as nullsec just sucks.

That depends on which alliances you joined in the past. Not every alliance is as bad as the ones you joined.
Also, posting which alliance you did join / am in now would help a lot as we could see where you are and why it is that you have trouble. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

I can't do that quite yet until I get my stuff out as I have no doubt there would be some form of retaliation. BTW the tax rate has dropped down to normal levels, but we're still not allowed to rat while there's a CTA going on, which is going on 24/7. |

I really can't fathom how can people (OP, but also other members of his alliance) stand being in an alliance with a) mandatory CTAs under threat of being kicked, and b) punishment for trying to leave. That's not an alliance, that's slavery!
A vast majority of nullsec doesn't do this. You really just chose the wrong people. |

If you could easily make most of the stuff back if you were operating at say an 11% tax rate... likewise, if there isn't anything worth the time or the hassle...
IMO try to be a little more choosy when picking an alliance. Ask questions. Try to find a list of members and ask some of the people in it about the alliance
I mean if they had 100% tax rate it sounds like either they were doing something very wrong or the head of your corp just wanted some extra cash for buying himself and his alts a plex or whatever. Also, why don't you guys have any manufacturing or mining OPs going on so you don't have to buy 100% of everything you need? Sounds like the leader is doing it wrong. The purpose of hi sec isn't to eliminate PvP but to weed out the dumb pvpers.

And how would they link your main to your alt if you listed the alliance(s).
Unless they are really small and you are really terribad at hiding your alts.
E: I find posting with an alt, specially if it comes to whine about something in EVE, pathetic and the most cowardly thing you can do. Shows exactly what type of player is behind the characters, if you want to whine, have the balls and do it with your main and live with the consequences or don't whine at all.
