Your corp didn't deserve to live in the first place if you couldn't survive more than a day of war.
EVE is not a nice sunday drive to church, along a scenic route, with green grass and blue waters, cows grazing peacefully by the side, and the only sound you hear is the birds singing.
EVE is like driving on the highway, except there is no speedlimit, half the drivers are high on crack, the other half has escaped from a mental institution, their cars are armed with rocketlaunchers and machineguns and plated with steel plates all over, the only sound you hear is a ringing noise because all the cars around you are blasting Death Metal on full volume.
If you can't survive a day of combat in EVE, without wanting to leave your corp, you might as well quit EVE now and find yourself a new game, because sooner or later you will leave.
So either man up, or leave.
If you choose to man up, look up info on how to PVP, how to fit your ships, or even convo me if I am on, and I'll give you advice.
The problem with that attitude is that it's short-sighted imo.
I hate to break it to you but without carebears in this game you'd find your life a lot harder, ship & module prices would skyrocket because fewer people would be mining (cos mining is boring rite??) and you'd be forced to shoot at people of your own kind (i.e. people who will actually fight back) if you wanted any PvP at all. It's not unlike nature really - a pack of carniverous animals without a herd to feed on will die or end up killing themselves.
I'm speaking in generalities really but the point is - not every corp that forms in the game is looking to pick fights with people, a corp of carebears has just as much right to exist as a blood-thirsty pirate corp. You can't kill one without killing the other by proxy where there's a symbiotic relationship involved.
I don't really understand why high-SP corps target newbie corps, well - I do understand it, it's because faced with the decision between wardeccing a corp which might actually provide a tough/equal fight vs targetting something which is almost certain to collapse people/groups will tend towards the path of least resistance. Why try and fight bulls with horns when you can savage baby deers? It's logical, but don't dress it up as something that it isn't.
The other thing that I believe needs to be pointed out (but is often not fully appreciated) is that ultimately the survival of Eve - in any capacity - depends on people paying to play it. The hardcore PvP-only is not enough to sustain the game like this financially which is why nearly-safe high-sec & CONCORD, etc exists - least of all because there are many of those who profess to being "hardcore PvP only" would themselves collapse if they had no other choice but to fight targets that had teeth - there is a significant portion of EVE PvP'ers who despite calling themselves pirates are never prepared to rise above can-flipping, ganking and other pastimes where they are assured victory at little or no risk.
There are degrees of carebearism in this game, and one thing is for certain - we all need eachother to some extent.
