After a wardec related incident which led to in my opinion irreparable damage to my reputation within the corps, i left that corps with a very much bruised ego and returned to the NPC corps.

First some elaboration:
I started playing about a month ago, i had a holiday which allowed plenty time of to play and because Eve has a steep learning curve I thought i would have a go at it at that time.

I joined a corps that was looking for newbies after one day , we got wardecced after one week.
Turning the gameplay to the station waiting game, since I still had the holiday I just wanted to play more.
I left the corps ( in good standing) after receiving a referral to another corps.

I joined the other corps and we got wardecced one day after I joined them , turning gameplay into another station waiting game.
There were some fleet actions for which I totally was not ready and I am a little ashamed to say I left them also.

Since I still had a holiday I applied to another corps of which I knew they were wardecced but thought atleast i would learn how to cope with a wardec then.
After a wardec related incident which led to in my opinion irreparable damage to my reputation within the corps, i left that corps with a very much bruised ego and returned to the NPC corps.

Now I have several options : I want to play the game more, I have not touched exploration yet which I know I would like.
Of course I can stay in the NPC corps for a couple of months, but being a rather social player I would like to join a corps again
But apparantly I am not suited at handling wardecs well.

How often does a normal corps get wardecced ?

CEO "How'd they catch you, you're in a thrasher! Have they got interceptors or something?"
Me "I kind of flew into Tama (low-sec system well known for its perma-gate-camp) because I thought they wouldn't follow."
CEO "Camped?"
Me "Yeah, took them a few seconds to lock me though."
CEO "...and they caught you how?"
Me "I tried to fly back through the gate on AB to escape the camp..."

go out with cheap ships in as many fleet ops as you can.

Excellent strategy, if your goal is to get war decced more often and for the dec's to last longer.

This is exactly what the PvP corps want. If give them what they want, they are not going to leave you alone. The way to minimize war decs (duration and quantity) is to not give the war decers what they want.

This is correct, if you are a complete pansy and view PvP as something that is inherently bad, and to be avoided at all costs.

Also, if a corp is that upset because you lost something to a wartarget, they are clearly a **** corp and you don't want to be part of those corps. They take space pixels too seriously, instead of whining/raging about the loss they should have helped you in the war mechanics etc.

Too old for the teenage BS, Epeen waiving that is most of EVE PvP.

Last time I had a high sec industrial corp, our corp policy was to NEVER undock during war dec, EVER. The one exception was if you were a designated POS fuel tech, then you could go straight from station to POS and back, in a rookie ship. An alt would take the fuel to the POS and you could just be there to move the fuel.

If you wanted to undock, drop to MPC corp for the duration of the war.

But, this was our stated policy, and you had to agree to this before joining the corp... So we weren't forcing the policy on anyone. They were choosing to join a corp that had this policy.

Violate the policy, you were out of the corp, period, no discussion.

It worked well at discouraging war decs and keeping them very short when they did happen.

The high-sec corps that get wardecs are getting those because they made themself a target for wardecs in one way or another.

Typical Carebear policy.

Good luck in EVE. Be prepared to spin ships a lot. Most corporations wardec carebears, not for kills, but to ruin their carebearing time.

I totally agree, take cheap stuff, undock, Win that war or die trying.

OP: I have 2 alt corporations...both almost 2 years old...NEVER BEEN wardecced (1 did wardec someone who pissed me off)

Be prepared to spin ships? No. That is what NPC corps are for.

So you say...if you get wardecced just leave the corp...That will end up well...shitload of corps in your history, nobody will hire you eventually

I'm sorry im pretty new, but are you saying if I wardec you, you'll stop playing?

So like -- if I don't like you personally I should just keep wardecing you and you'll stop playing until it's over?

What us carebears do, when we get a war dec, is drop to an NPC corp, or create a new corp and join that, then go on playing.


The PvPers, that war dec industrialists hoping to get easy kills get soooo frustrated when we refuse to give them what they want, but that is not my problem. I just keep on playing in a way that I enjoy playing, mostly ignoring their war dec's.

You can't shed your noobines in a npc corp? Who is going to teach you?

Find some experienced players and throw yourself into the chaos.
