Most corps are rubbish. On one hand tbf to them it shouldn't have to be a second job and the 'leadership roles' attract people who fail IRL to communicate. On the other they just want grunts for the sake of it. Choose carefully, we can't tell you what to pick.
Talk to people you like and recruit/mentor yourself - it's more about banter than anyone realises. Anyone can create a private chat channel. If your corp obstruct your recruitment (and you're good at it) roll your own corp.
Join every channel you can, keep in touch with people who amuse you in local/forums (and kill you).
That TZ thing you can plug yourself, my peronal fav ppl ingame are way off tz for me, but makes no difference.

This pretty much. The flip side is that most corps that are worth a damn are going to be super cautious of you, because spies and corp thieves. Your best bet is to network with friends in game, hang out with people and get a feel for what the corp is like. I hate to say it, but as the new guy expect to do a lot of grunt work at first regardless. The first corp I joined made you mine your own first battleship before they let you PvP so you understood the real value of that ship. (Took me two weeks with t1 mining lasers and some harvies)
(STK Scientific blew up that one)
But basically yeah, talk to people, get a feel for the corp. |

Oh holy balls, what a terrible thing to do to a newbie.
You know what the value of a ship is? However much it hurts for you to lose it.
That was sort of the lesson.
This was back in the days that ships really were not for sale in most of low sec and not at all in null, and of they were they were a 200% markup at least if you found them. So the corp had to provide ships if they were lost (because none of us could afford Battleship bpos on our own). This meant the logistics wing had to do all the mining etc to keep the pvpers in ships, or make the run through Gonditsa from Yulai to buy them. And there was always fighting going on. This was the big buildup in Aridia right before the BoB/FA war. |
