...over a 1 man corporation with zero tax
I've been pondering about this and I haven't come up with anything worthwhile. In my 1 player corps I have the following:
* zero tax
* zero chance of corp spy/disguised pirate to steal assets
* zero chance of being ganked in highsec in a high end missioning setup by fleeted corpie who can suddenly decide to turn to a pirate life and pad his killboard with a nice kill
* I get to keep all the bounties and LP's by not fleeting up with some rookies that will most likely shoot wrong triggers and aggro wrong packs
* I don't need corp salvager since I usually salvage only a few select missions with my noctis
* I don't really need corp manufacturing and the obligatory mining ops since I can make my own ammo/consumables with the melted crap I get when looting
* I get appropriate entertainment out of EVE radio and the (100+ people) missioning in-game channel
* If somebody wants to wardec my corp I can easily drop to a npc corp and make a new corporation (t'is cheap). And dun go telling me missioning corps are going to fight off wardecs, it ain't gonna happen, and if it does it will shutdown missioning.
So why join a missioning corp ?

I fail to see how missioning corps will increase social interactivity over a 100 players missioning channel (oh, and the new player channel is preety entertaining at times too)
Only way would be to do joined missions, but that tikles the paranoia if you will be flying a 2-3 (or more) bil isk faction setup
All in all, it seems it's only worthwile to be in a dedicated corp if:
* mining -> benefits: fleet boosters,haulers and body-guards
* research and manufacturing-> benefits: access to corp research and manuf. PoS, corp haulers
* All forms of PeeVeePee (high sec, low sec and null sec) ->benefits: safety in numbers, pvp logistics, intel
* exploration-> benefits: faster probing and possibility of "on call" pve dps if needed. In lowsec/nullsec corp you also get intel and added anti-pvp protection
Trading is not a corp friendly profession as well, since hauling can be arranged in courier contracts and traders don't really share the isk making secrets or face self-made market competition. Of course, a cunning trader can employ new chars into his corp for cheap hauling but that's not the gist of the issue.
Scamming and related activities are highly unusual in their methods and I didn't include them int he analysis

Because you can have the exact same benefits as in your 1-man corp.
Not quite, there's always the added risk of having some pirate's newbie alt in your corp, hunting for your juicy faction fit ship killmail.

āso the question is rather: what's the benefit of a corp?
From missioning p.o.v: Zero tax -> mor isk for you, can't think of anything else

They'll get you regardless of whether you're in the same corp or not. That risk comes inherent with the faction fit.
You can take extra precautions:
* insta undocks
* warp to x > 50 to check for stuff at the gate for rarely visited systems or make 10 AU or so safes from regular used gates and directional scan for suspicions masses of battleships/gank ships
* analyze the situation on the other side of the gate, ready to warp/turn on overheated hardeners as soon as gate cloak drops if the situation is bad
* fit for omni tank
* warp out of the pocket if more than 1 person comes to visit
* have drones on passive
* dun take any can/wreck bait
That-^ will make it harder for a group of gankers to get you. But it won't save you when the nice and sociable newbie corpie you've been having tag along for a few weeks to your missions finally gets in his new battleship he trained for and (with the help of the right mission incoming dps ->there are a few that'll stress pve tanks) proceeds to scramble/web/dual-triple neut kill your ship.
And before anyone wonders I haven't been in a mission corp and I haven't had my ship blown out in the way described above. The bout of paranoia came from several C&P posts and pirate blogs I've been reading detailing such faction ship kills.

I do. I suppose you posted on an alt tho.
Of course. This is a forum alt, in a npc corp, perma docked in jita for easy price checking.

Our corp mainly do missions, and while the tax is 10% everyone donate close 100% to the corp. Everyone has full access to the corp funds, with no other rules other then leave enough isk so others can replace lost ships
It's only a matter of time before al the corp isk will be stolen and the char that did it deleted. This kinds of corps only work when you are within IRL punching distance of your corp mates.
Hmmm...another possibility would be to siphon out funds at a steady rate into the wallet of a 3'rd party. Corp will implode when you guise will wise up and start asking questions...
btw, it's NOT a common occurence to loose ships in missions, if you have such ship replacing funds, then you are funding other guise's pvp activity. Props to him/her/them for creating their ingame slave army.

Jump clones, I don't think that was mentioned.
Um...I have max number of JC up due to my high corporations standings. No missioning corp needed for that.
On a related note, I was scanning the recruit channel and forums. It seems the "get missionariz to pimp up the corp wallet" scheme is still alive and well.
