just that sentence implies that so learn to make your ideas clearer!
doesnt matter how you twist it, you want to fly with good pvpers cuz thats what you want, others have the right to have the same sentiment, isn't it a free world even in eve?

if you suck and someone has standart why would they want to fly with you?dont they have the choice for that??

you imply that others should play your way and not have the freedom to play as they want!

If there is one thing that has been imbued upon me as a new player (Or at least, a player which is well and truly done with Incursions and Market PvP) it's the importance of maintaining a good killboard. If you don't have a 80%+ ratio, no one worth flying with, will want to fly with you.

So clearly a bad killboard is something I wish to go to great lengths to avoid, and given that any mistake made will haunt you for the rest of your EVE career, or even make you completely unhireable if your losses are particularly unfortunate, not to mention my leisure time is valuable and I don't want to waste it with fools. In light of this, why would I want to join a corporation which is, or at least is operated with anything less than:

Activity.
Competence.
Experience.

And so far my experiences of trying to find a good group for the past month have consisted of 3 main experiences and 1 minor:

Okay, I read the first paragraph......

Look man, the fact that people in this game have some crazy insane kill ratios means one of two things: 1) They've either padded their KB with lame POS kills or 2) they've padded their KB with lame kills like HS docking games where the entirety of Jita local comes to their aid as neutral reppers.

I figure, as long as you're maintaining a positive KB who cares about the rest?

Thing is, an 80+% kill ratio is a false economy anyway. All it means if you pick fights you can't lose. I'd rather have pilots who throw themselves into battles they can't possibly win, just for the lolz.

Maybe you're just looking at the wrong corps? It's odd, I've never seemed to have had a problem finding the corp i want to be in.

Frankly my dear, industrial pilots make the best PVPers because they will follow an experienced combat pilot's orders without question. The only problem is telling them what to do exactly.

Being told when to jump or push F1`-F8 does not teach you how to look after yourself or how to move about a grid... know when you personally need to get out or call for reps appropriately or generally make any one of a thousand personal judgement calls that the FC shouldn't have to be telling you, or any other basic combat awareness.

Some guy who flys drakes/tengus gets trolled by -A-.

Not sure if serious or just ironic.

BTW, genuinely good PvP corps won't worry overmuch about the pure K:D ratio.

Heh, let me tell you about the K:D ratio of newbies in the wild wild west of nullsec.

Since drakes started being a thing again, soon newbies will darken the sun (no more 1v1 duels at the sun anymore) with our newbie folded cardboard missile spammer spaceships!

On a side note, if you do fly in a competent corporation that needs more competent, self sufficient Logistics/ECM/Tengu/Drake pilots do let me know.

Well, I did just play the markets and do incursions for the past 5 months. Let's just say I am comfortable.

If it is the case that those sorts of ships aren't frequently used by good small gangs, what should I look at training in to?



If you space gets conquered or if your overlords decide they don't like you any more, that's it, you are locked out of your station and can't access your assets. And in order to pay the rent for the system some of the renter corps I have spoken to have operated a 15-20% tax.
