If a Corp's ultimate goal is to move to Null and join an alliance and get into empire building and alliance warfare, how can this be done? What do you need to do to get accepted?
Note: This isn't a right now thing, more of a what needs to be accomplished toqualifything. |

It depends on what alliance you want to join. The higher profile alliances who have a reputation will generally have higher standards to meet.
Usually, they expect a minimum member count of at least 50 and you would probably be required to participate on a lot of PVP and have a history of it to show via the eve-kill killboard.
I hope this is helpful. |

Depends entirely on what alliance you are trying to join. Some only require you follow their policies and such, others require things that would make Erotica1 blush.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

We haven't tried, but what do null alliances usually want out of member corps? |

That's what decent alliances look for no matter if they are PvP or 0.0 industry/mining.

A nullsec alliance will more likely take you in if you have a strong logistics backbone or a couple of capable FCs. Simply adding 10-20 dudes that could x up for fleet isn't usually a strong argument for adding a corp to an alliance unless that alliance is TEST Twitter: @EVEAndski

How do you get in on alliance ops? PVP participation isn't a problem. Do alliances extend into high/lowsec for newer pilots, or should we move to null and try it there?
I figure "when we're ready" isn't really good enough, as no-one will ever decide they are ready. Myself, i was like "when i can replace" was my goal for nullsec. Well, i can do that now. I'd, frankly, like to move to the real game.

That's an achievable goal. Thanks for the input. I'll pass it along pronto. |

For living in null the easy shortcut is to rent. The hard way is to grind a pvp corp together in NPC null until you have burned any carebears out of your organization and become annoyingly relevant and painful to nearby entities.

Name an alliance that you'd like to see your corp in, say by this date 2015. If it's the likes of PL or NCdot, you'd need a solid reputation and a strong backbone of self-sufficient high-skillpoint pilots who can all fly their own carriers. If it's like Goonswarm or RAZOR, you'd need a long history of working with that alliance (basically, don't consider the alliances leading the blocs as options) And in any halfway respectable alliance you join, you'd have to be able to stomach the idea that the autocrats are in charge, especially in times of war, and that your role in the alliance as a corp CEO is that of a stakeholder/advisor, if even that.

Being a highly mobile corp goes a long way, yes. If you can be in NPC Delve, for example, and are able to schedule a move op that can get your dudes and their ships to another region in a short amount of time, that is definitely a plus as you aren't dead weight. Twitter: @EVEAndski

You start somewhere small, even a renter alliance, then get in on fights. Once your corp gets a reputation for competent pvp, you'll have new options. "Self help is all in your head" |

They are where i want to be. That's one clue. I don't mind hisec or lowsec, that has it's place. I just want out of there.
If they are where i want to be and i'm not, then pretty obviously they know something i don't. |

The only reason you don't like corps that only add line members is because it's more PAP links you have to go through. Honor is a fools prize. Glory is of no use to the dead.

Fweddit are probably the best, and most recent example of an alliance getting into sov null. They don't hold many systems, but I believe that's mostly due to choice and keeping their roots in FW.
other than that, I'd echo Andski. Bring competent FCs, and know how to manage logistics well, including things like forums, comms and other out of game methods of keeping membership on track.
FW might give you a chance to build those things on a smaller scale. Not a bad idea to spend time in NPC null either. The difference between null and low is more than just dictor bubbles and bombs. |

I think you missed the point.
See some people like to PVP. They would much rather undock and go a few jumps to get a fight...instead of having Blues for 5 Regions in either direction.
Just saying that a PVP group like Fweddit probably got tired of sitting on the ass end of a Titan hoping some 10 man roaming gang from lowsec accidentally drifted into CFC space.
I am not a rocket scientist, or a big city lawyer...but Id wager blowing up space pixels is higher on the priority list than holding sov. But I am a PVPer who left nullsec because jumping 5 regions for a fight is ******* lame! |

You need Fweddit back in Delve because of 5K members in TEST?
Is this for real?
To OP.
You don't want to go to null. It turns you into a coward where your current 50K man coalition is unable to defense itself against 5K dudes without the assistance of a 500 man FW group. |

You misunderstand. They didn't lack for ability in managing their Sov. They simply didn't have the desire for more. That said, I still see them all the time dropping on people in syndicate with us and EXE against other groups. |
