...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 ?

Some people are more social then others, and they may find it alot more fun to do missions in small groups then alone even if it means they get a little less isk in the end. With the right amount of skillpoints and experince you probably get the most profit by doing missions alone, but it can also get very tedious to do missions alone.

What dexington said, basically. You really play an MMO to play with other people (Imo), so unless you have a dedicated account for alt+tab mission running or something, I'd say that being in a corporation with more people is more fun. But that's all up to you of cource, if you don't see any advantages and don't like social interaction, then by all means^^

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

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.

I think you just want to play the game on your owne, and there is nothing wrong with that. You don't need an excuse for not joining a play run corp, if your social needs are covered by chatting with random people in public channels, and at the same time you don't trust anyone enough to run missions with them it's probably best you don't join a corp.
Some people like being part of a more tightly knitted group that work together on reaching a common goal, if you don't have that need your are probably going to do just fine without a corp. People play mmo's for different reasons and are commited to the game on different social levels, some prefer to not get very socially involved others are looking to find "close friends".

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.

So you read a story on the internet about someone getting blown up by a corp member, and now you believe that mission corps are some cover for pirates trying to lure carebears into a trap and blow up their ship...
Maybe you should take your medicin and turn down the paranoia.

And if you have a paladin with a 20bil fit you deserve to be blown up anyway.
Only thing that sometimes puzzles about EvE is how certain unscrupulous people that I know of always manage to find that one 16bil marauder owned & flown by an idiot who grinds missions in it under a war dec.

No reason to join a missioning corp unless you're interested in being in a corp with like-minded players. If you do, don't accept anything more than 0% tax rate because "missioning corps" have no use for taxes. Worst case scenario is you end up in a mixed corp, feeding the corp wallet while industrialists and traders contribute nothing because they aren't getting taxed.
Oh yeah, about my sig... you have now read it.

So why join a missioning corp ?
I've got 2 corps, Main with a research/mfr/mining/trading alt., and another exploration alt in a separate corp. By putting all characters at a "10", I can access jetcans from either corp without penalty.
There are drawbacks in that I can't do Incursions unless I join a ragtag fleet, WHs are a logistics/tactical challenge, and solo PvP is kinda archaic nowadays.
As the above posters say, the main advantage of any good corp is the camaraderie and ability to join together to perform deeds of derring-do and waving of e-peens. If you've been there, done that in RL, solo Eve can be satisfying, fun, and relaxing as its just you versus all of Eve.

I have to agree with the OP. I used to be very helpful to new corpies. I'd allow them to tag along...help them along etc etc. However, my eyes were opened when we were wardecced and a group of WTs laid traps for me in my favorite areas. They were good. From the first minute they were waiting for me.
Now...they COULD have just done really good research on me...realized that I had fancy ships that I liked to mission in...and followed my behavior so they could trap me.
However, it is much more likely (like 100%) that one of the 'new' corpies I was helping out was a spy.
I then started looking at new corpies. How they acted. Spoke etc. I came to the conclusion that over 90% of them were not what they seem and that a good majority of them probably had hostile intent. I stopped helping newbies until they hung around a few months. Guess what? We have been wardecced many times since then...and the WTs don't seem to have nearly the amount of intelligence on my activities. Wardeccs have been pretty quiet.
So, why the hell would I join a missioning corp which is probably full of these dudes? Hell, over half of them are probably spies of some sort.
==========
That being said, a good, small close-knit missioning corp would be cool. You could set up territory in low sec...run lvl 5's and other things. I think it would be cool.
HOWEVER...I notice on recruitment that many missioning corps are recruiting...but their tax rates are 10% or higher. WTH? This is missioning. What does the corp need that money for? MAYBE 1% (MAYBE) to cover....no. The only proper tax for a missioning corp is 0%. I might do 1% for right one but anything over 1% is a scam missioning corp.

Let me be the first to point out that you're an idiot for missioning in a pricey boat during a war dec. Especially since you didn't (and apparently still don't!) change your behavior. When war decs happened in my old corp, I moved grounds, meaning I usually did stuff in low sec for the week or so till they gave up. And I never flew anything expensive.

Trust me, being in a big corp with a griefer/pirate alt increases gank chance by quite a bit. And no, they do not try to gank you with the newb alt in corp, despite benefit of no concord. It's a waste of a spy to use that way. They use it as scout for easy targets for out of corp suicide gankers. It's one of the most common tactics in highsec ganking. Only noob griefers waste their time scan mission sites or camp those days.

Half idiot. During wardecs I mission in a Drake. However, I didn't move ground.

This shows you've never griefed before. You do not waste time running locater agents on random carebears who may or may not be afk, and may or may not be packing a pimpfit. Spies are to know who in what system has pimpfits they linked in the past and is out grinding. It's for intel + target picking. If you run locater agents, you're better off probe or scan off gates and stations for random people.

Yup. Collect a big bunch noobs to grind missions to your alts corp with 10% tax (or even higher depending) and let them loot lvl 4 missions straight in to your pocket.
Though I don't see a point in ripping off a corp once you get like 50 people logged in daily in it because it could obviously be something much more but apparently some people have no such qualms about the issue.

Exactly. During wardecs I am afk for long periods of time. I stay logged in almost 23/7 just to waste their time since I am usually far away from corpmates. They have to make 20+ jumps to hunt me and I am their only WT in the area. You come after me in a wardec and you will be bored to tears unless you have a spy. I also have 3 alts with 2+ year history around empire far apart logged in as well almost 23/7. You go after them and you are completely wasting your time. Locator agents, while they can be useful can alos be used against you.

The other thing I noticed is that corps that specialize in other things will try to recruit mission runners. Excuse me? Your corp needs to make money while doing other things? What's in it for me?
I don't think most of them are being scammy per se...they just haven't thought it out. Their corp is short on money they need to keep up POSs, buy fuel, maintain hangers etc etc and so they would like to include a 'mission running division' to bring in money. Problem is...what do the mission runners get out of it? When confronted with this question they will say things like 'comraderie' or 'help the corp be healthy/expand' etc...but miners don't pay 10%+ of their income to the corp...nor the traders/inventors/builders.

While mission running is a solo activity, I'd imagine you would join a corp to do other things that require teamwork.
Unless you just want to mission just so you can pile more ISK on top of your pile of ISK, joining a corp would open up the game for you.

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, which basically means everyone makes sure we have atleast 200-300M at all times just in case someone lose a ship. 90% of the time everyone can just buy what they need/want, including plexs for free game time or the more expensive ships or modules.
It works because people trust each other, and because it's a small group where everyone is his owne boss and can do what he wants without asking permission from anyone. It has it's benefits, but the small size of the corp does mean that there are times where you are the only player online.

They use it to fund their pvp alt. The less they pay corp, the less they need to grind. Your tax is adding to their boring part of the game, and they don't appreciate it.

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.

Unless you just want to mission just so you can pile more ISK on top of your pile of ISK, joining a corp would open up the game for you.
Nuela is my isk-faucet. Other chars do the interesting stuff so that they don't have to worry about cash because of Nuela. Specialization in other words. The less time spent raising isk the better.
edit - I see Goose already explained :)

i think it's funny how many anti-social mission *****s don't know about locator agents and just assume all the red flashies that show up are obviously tipped off by SPAIS!
I think it's funny how people assume things that are totally wrong and that it makes them look like an idiot.
yea like when they think they're safe, relocating to a different region and they get killed anyway. |

On topic of what's in it for mission runners, one the corp I was in had a simple way of getting extra funds.
You guessed it, was either missions with 80% tax or mining for free for the corp.
Those who didn't do missions and didn't own a hulk hauled the stuff to station.
Idea was to get some more ships for corp replacements to be blown up, some did both mining and missions.
We did this periodically when it seemed that fund raisers we're in order, finally one of the "trader guys" got tired and gave the corp 3bil isk which ended the fund raisers for quite a long time (3bil buys you a quite a lot of BCs, cruisers and frigates).
When the corp finally went over CEO told me (and the trader guy confirmed it) that he didn't even want his money back explaining he had enough ISK rolling in and why "did we pester him with the issue".  
Edit:
Ceo walked with the money btw. but he deserved it I think with all the flack we gave him called or uncalled.

I could see how being in voice comms talking **** could make missions slightly more bearable than running them alone in channel with your alts.
I grinded myself to be able to use lvl4s but if you can have corp mates help you with lvl4s it is much easier and even if you can use lvl4 agents of your own then some corp mate might have other (better) ones they can help you get standings for.

There's the fact that mission running in EVE is one of the most astonishingly boring things ever invented in an MMO second only to mining in EVE. Can you think of a lot of activities more mindless than running The Blockade for the 40th time in a row?
If a corp can add even a tiny bit of interest to the total blandness of mission running, it's worth a small isk sacrifice.
But I don't even find a corp enough to keep the game interesting, so I just run enough missions to keep my account active through buying PLEX and use the rest of my time to do more important things IRL. |

so what happened when the SPAIZ blew up your ship? tell me how you felt. did you cry? it's ok to tell me.
I am filled with rage? Me? Dude, look at my posts and look at yours. I'm not the one swearing and cursing up the forums.
Look man. I didn't blow up your ship. I'm sorry someone did to make you upset...but it wasn't ME.
You need to do what I did and adapt. Harden up man.

your responses just reinforce my original post about how stupid you anti-social mission runners are.
now where did the mean spaceship touch you? it's ok. |

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.
