I'm posting on an alt because I don't want my corpmates to see this. Anyway, I'm in a pvp corp with a great bunch of guys who are bloodthirsty pvpers and just a fun bunch of people. Lately our numbers have been dropping a bit due to inter-corp/alliance politics and it's starting to really make a dent in our numbers. We've tried low sec piracy, 0.0 large scale alliance stuff, and npc controlled 0.0 stuff, but lately it just seems like we're stuck in a rut. I'm trying to suggest new things to try but I need some ideas to keep my corp from eventually collapsing in on itself. Two avenues we haven't explored yet are FW pvp and high sec war dec pvp. Can anyone tell me whether or not these might be good things to try and please be detailed with your answer =)

I have been involved in FW on the Gallente side and I can tell you, FW is what you make of it. If you work well together as a corp, FW will be good if you keep flying together. I have seen plenty of examples on that in my FW time. High sec Wardec can be expensive to keep up, and you can get decced by more than you can handle, leaving you with no choice but to stay docked. At least in FW you know you have the enemies to shoot and it's free. Join as a corp instead of individuals and you retain the freedom of your own corp, while still under the FW ruleset...

It's an option, there's certainly no shortage of targets to shoot at. It's not everyone's cup of tea, so expect to lose some if you decide to give it a try.

You can do both for more targets. You can even dec the people that annoy you in your militia, makes for a fun militia chat. -- I'm done whining about AFs, it looks like they are making them right \o/ |

I highly recommend high sec wars. I think if you read my last story here you might find the inspiration you're looking for.

Bloodthirsty PVPers? Why don't you guys just schedule regular roaming ops? It gives you guys something to do. You don't need big numbers to have a successful roam. Just stay active.

Holy crap Nexa...I thought I'd meet those that can hold a grudge...but to go through all the trouble to post AND to illustrate what can only be described as a personal vendeta to the max against anything and everything....I'd NEVER want to cross your path!

Oh yes it definitely gives you something to do alright. Jump, align, jump, align, jump, align...three hours later...jump, align, jump, align, dock.

Roaming ops? This is what a roaming op is: make 12 jumps with your 5-10 man gang, maybe picking off one or two idiot ratters who didn't cloak up soon enough before you finally run into a blob that outnumbers you 10 to 1 and the night is over, or, if you don't run into said blob, continue another 10-15 jumps getting maybe another idiot ratter along the way or two and then turning around and heading home. And you just wasted 2-3 hours for 3 killmails of cheaply fitted ravens piloted by semi-afk non-english-speaking idiots.
Yes, roams are the solution here.
90% of all roams end up resulting in either suicide or a night wasted. And since the problem here is corp morale, that doesn't quite help.

Just a note on High Sec PVP.
If you die ... re-kitting is cheap cuz the local trade hub is ALWAYS close and a one stop shop.
FW almost did us in ... people wanted to see CCP's New Child and left us ... well NOW that people did .. They're coming back AND in droves BECAUSE FW is an ISK sink AND has no REAL goal.
These People who tasted pvp now want more AND alot of those realize that 0.0 isn't the ONLY answer for them to get it. No Politics = one less thing to worry about in your gaming.

FW is defenitely a good idea for your situation. Depends on how big your corp is, you can run some gangs with your corp mate only, or let other militia members in, when there are larger enemy gangs around. You have a much higher chance to get fights regularly, than with hisec wars. If you wardec a highsec corp they might give you one or two fights, and then always dock when you're in system, it will require lot's of patience and waiting, the boredom might get strong there.
In FW there are several major fleets a day, and minor fights all the time. If you can't find any targets simply start to plex in the enemy militia system that is next to their highsec space (e.g. Tama for Caldari or Old Man Star for Gallente) and it won't take long till they'll come for you.

I see that were on the same exact level. So what do you normally do to get your pvp on? I'm thinking about going to a corp in FW
