How are corporations looking at the fact that you are not devoting all your time and resources towards their goal, but sometimes try to pursue your own things? Also, what is the general attitude towards new players - are they a scam material or more like students of the game? And how do you find a corporation that is a fit for you?
Sometimes you can find small fun corps that mostly let you do whatever and don't require you to be there 24/7.
KEK for example is run by a cool CEO who found me by chance and helped me get up to speed.
I've been to a wormhole and went from selling Veldspar to Pyroxers on top of mining rare ores and even salvaged some sleeper loot.
This is in a tiny Venture (Which was gifted to me by the corp Thanks guys!)
Now, I'm making enough per full hold to pay for decently fitted frigates.
Now....newbies.
If you adventure in lowsec, expect to die but be nice.
I once went exploring lowsec in another Venture after having gotten greedy with the sucess mining in 0.5 security space I had at one point.
I got podded in short order in the asteroid field.
The guy who podded me (Behemoth or something?) talked to me asking if I was new. I confirmed it and we ended up having a lengthy conversation which somehow turned into a sort of 'newbie help' conversation. He was a decent guy for a pirate. Even gave me isk to pay for a new Venture and its fittings.
The important part of the discussion was the reasons for the isk donation.
According to him, many new players or explorers of low sec tend to get a bit rude and whiny that they got shot. But, occasionally reasonable folk show up and actually don't hold much of a grudge because this is EVE, ships get wrecked every second.
Being reasonable and nice enough to more experienced players can give you bits of knowledge the tutorial doesn't teach you. If you're lucky, you may even get a little isk to really get started with the game. |
