I have a Question
Alliances: What are they about
I am the CEO of a small growing Corp, and I am wondering about alliances?
What are for pros and cons of them? I have been wondering if joining one would hurt or help my corp.
I would love any input that any of the leaders or members of these alliances can give me and if you wish to contact me in game to explain other detail on them that would also be welcomed.
Thank you,
Cettie

To answer your question if it can hurt your corp, yes. Then again it could greatly benefit your corp. It all depends on what your seeking to take your corp to as well as the alliance you choose to join.
Basically Alliances are just a group of corporations that ban together to obtain the same goal. Good thing about alliances is they can aid your corp to obtain a goal you wish to obtain. Drawback is they can also put your corp into a position you would rather it not be.
To give an example, Stain Alliance is at war with Curse Alliance. There may be some corps on either side that aren't really interested in pvp or war or whatever, but because they belong to the alliance they need to be involved in the war wether they like it or not. If a corp in SA didn't want anything to do with combat CA wouldn't care and would engage them anyway and visa versa. In the same sense, if anyone attacks an SA corp, the alliance will defend them and visa versa again with CA.
I think the best thing you can do is to decide with your members where you want your corp to go, from there if your still interested in joining an alliance, try talking to some of the various alliance members and see which one would best suit your needs.

I'd recommend during your decision process if you want to join an alliance or not, just check forums for other members, most have their corp and/or alliances in their signatures. Jot down some names and see if you can contact them ingame to see if they can point you toward a person in their alliance to discuss matters with.
For Stain Alliance our contact would most likely be Trigger.
For Curse, I believe lallente is a board member, if not try Bad Harlequin. One of them could point you in the right direction for their alliance.
For other Alliances I really can't offer you possible contacts as I myself am not really sure off the top of my head atm. :)

The point of alliances is two base things: mineral control and mutual defense to keep that mineral control.

People like to forget the single most interesting point about being in an alliance:
You get to know people from other corps and you get to make more friends to lighten up your daily business in EvE.

Alliances add another dimension to the networking abilities of players in the game.

Amen. I wish that CCP would add some alliance functions to the game.
EVE politics pretty much revolve around the alliances these days.

Alliances..hmm.
Lots of posturing and currently weak claims to vast areas of space which none of them can actually "protect" or "defend" other than by camping a tiny few narrow entry-points or "Chokepoint" systems.
Expect the current "alliance" political map to fluctuate dramatically after the introductioon of player deployable items and (finally) the ability to take and hold "ground" (space).
Current alliance politics are little more than playing in the sandbox.
The real alliances, and their true territorial ownership, are yet to happen.

There are many alliances with different goal.
I'm a member of what could be seen as "the one alliance", the Stain alliance(SA). It was the first real alliance and has always been on top, though I must admit Curse alliance are now equally strong.
Castor kinda ****** things up though.
As you know, the REAL income in this game is the mining of rare ore. That's was SA was for. In stain, far from empire space, there were stations in the same systems as there were bistot (but Castor has messed things up). The rare ore in those systems was worth lots of isk. And yes, it was even worth loosing lots of ships trying to prevent others from mining that ore instead of us. That's why alliances were formed.
To control the most valuable ore.
That's it. As time went on, other alliances were created. But all the major alliances is about one thing; controlling access to the most valuable ore.

Indeed.
But still you can't deny that none but stain alliance members have been able to mine the ore in stain and the 2 regions below stain.
But as you say, it's when player owned stations enter the game that the real interesting part starts...

True Dalman but there really isnt any serious population pressure forcing people to try to compete for stain (or other) space.
For many the inability to "take" space and the questionable consequences to do with cahnges to factions tandings (docking rights etc) has made the movement out to non empire space a no-brainer for now.
Once those elements are resolved and you can take an dhold space, THEN alliances will find true meaning...
and even then if there is no pressure from up-and-coming alliances, megacorps or whatever from within Empire space - then each allaince could currently sit happy where they are now with nothing happening at all.
We aint seen anything yet.

Alliances are mostly about politics, also about powerstruggle and ofcourse about the powerhungry few that want to controll the masses.
Mostly though its about banding up with a bunch of people to do together what you can't do alone...thats about it ;)

It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this.
It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.

Quite honestly, all it really takes is a few minutes in the Corp, Factions and Organizations board or the Intergalactic Summit to figure out who most of the major ones are. Then, hit google for their home pages and read up about where they're located and who their friends and enemies are.
There's a lot of pros and cons, first off you get access to territory in EVE that would normally be closed to you (or at least more difficult to reach easily), access to better ores, and a better line to the goings-on of large portions of the playerbase. There's a lot more people to call upon for help, and in turn a lot more people to blow up.
