Hello all, I am a new player and thought I would leave some feedback about my time so far in a npc corp.
1.The tax rate so far has not bothered me in fact for the first few days I didn't even realise I was being taxed and I am still not even sure exactly what is taxable in game. Once I realised I could start a one man corp (of which I see many in high-sec) I thought brilliant more isk, more ships, more pew pew. However upon investigation I learned about war-dec and how it affects players. In my humble opinion I could not survive a war dec as much fun as that would be to try for a while anyway. This leads to station camping and again it would be fun to try and outsmart other players and figure out ways to thwart them, I feel they have far more resources to draw upon and it would be futile.
2. I realy can't wait to try some pvp and even though I am low sp and still very much a novice at game mechanics I would love to try even at the expense of ships. However, I currently feel without most frigate skills at a 4-5 it would again be futile against other players who have more sp and better fits never even mind the T2 and above ones. This leads to the fact that it seems there is not enough new player targets around, other players like myself who I could match agianst. Maybe not on an equal footing as I love a challenge just not a face roll and a gf at the end. Eve seems to lack lower level targets who can engage in a fun and challenging manner.
3. My goal being to pvp and meet some interesting people seems to be from my other points blockaded by sp, npc corps, and lack of resources. Now my only chance to gain some experience is to join a player corp, however since joining I have received several mass mails from corps wanting me to join them. Unlike some more naive new player's I asked questions and used google to find out as much as possible about them. Thus I learned most were scams. This is highly off-putting as a new player and leaves me quite reluctant to reach out to other corps that I find interesting. I know scamming is a way of life in EVE and respect the players who put the effort and planning it takes to pull them off, but if like myself it puts off others from joining corps and sticking to this great game then all of Eve suffers for it.
Most of what I have said may not be accurate or even an outright fallacy, I am new and this is my impression thus far of the game. I would very much like to hear from more experienced players on how I may be wrong so I can change and adapt in this game. Like everyone else paying a sub I am looking for my fun :D
Anyway, thank you for taking your time and reading. This was mostly a quick idea dump and as such is missing many other points I have and probably finer adjustments it needs.
tl,dr
1. Tax isn't an issue as a new player
2.There is at least a few weeks gap for players to try pvp and not enough new players to fight. Leading them into the play mission wait for more sp spiral.
3. Corps to new players seem like scams and are warned away from them in npc corp and help chat mostly.
