You are right, the militia channel is not used much but there invite only alternatives.
This.
As a relatively new player I joined the Gall militia yesterday and the channel is also dead. So I checked kill boards to see active corps in EU and already have one I plan to apply to once I have a little xp behind me. Theres nothing wrong with growing a pair and venturing out on your own to begin with.

Explain in your application that you are a nubbin, you want to learn, and thrown in some wiseass crack that will put a smile on their face for good measure. Electra Gaterau wrote:(Will getting my ass handed to me count as experience?) As long as you don't do it "stupidly," yes. "Suicide tackle" is a noble job in militia and many nubbins start out their careers this way. I did. After I got sick of doing this, I upgraded to cruisers... then to battlecruisers... then back to cruisers... then battleships... then specialty T2 ships (gawd I loved that Nemesis, no matter how much it sucked).
Ty for the advice.
Just to confirm to the original poster I acted on what I said earlier and sure I got blown up first attempt but I got straight back out there, scored my first kill and made a new friend. Not bad for my first night! If a 2 month old character can do it you shouldn't have a problem  |

Forum troll ate my post :(
Edit:
Anyway all i was going to say is Intel isn't the be all and end all of FW fun. If you ask for access to private channels on day one not only will ppl think you're a possible spy but they may also think you expect to be spoon fed information rather than actively finding your own.
There are ways to avoid gate camps and blobs, doesn't always work but if you learn for yourself and show some initiative it will stand you in better stead for your future endeavours. |

To start with you would need to be +.50 reputation with the faction you wish to join. If your going to min ships you should really train their guns for the ship bonus'.
Pro's from what i have seen are the LP store sell faction stuff real cheap. You get to shoot stuff too which is nice.
Con's getting shot at (kind of fun still tho o.0)
For supporting yourself you have FW missions, using an alt to mission/trade/mining (puke). loads really. |
