Eve/Dust-five-one-four is a new experience for us greenie blue berries, sold squad, then corporation vision catchers. Wow, what a learning curve, even for the likes of us MAG graduates.
So I start digging into the docs, and surfing the web, now venturing queries to you, the already initiated GǪ is there really any hope?
The newbie hears tell of billions of ISK, some free flowing to corporations and mercenaries, in the dream land of Federation Warfare and Planetary Conquest, with Corporation contracts and districts to be had, Clone production, storage and moving factories to be built etc.
Is my only hope in joining one of a hand full of mega sized Player owned Corps? Can I realistically help grow a small corp into some piece of this pie? How is a new corp to bootstrap the high cost of ISK for that first district, and a production factory, then storage then movement etc?
Will the hopes and hard work of gathering a few, among the high competition of GÇ£come here and join us, no, here, well what about hereGÇ¥ be instantly dashed by trying to play with the big boys and current owners after trying to come up with the entrance fee?
Is there really any hope, is there any path for the small corporation to play PC?

Yes, and new is a very relative term. For example, I'm not one that was here from beta, but have been around from first official release. And yet just passing the advanced levels and working on 4's and 5's in a small and focused set of proto level skills. And that with an Elite Pack, 2 Veteran packs, Omega boosters, and active boosters running non-stop.
And yet, just an intermediate among the many proto giants found on the field.
It is a bit discouraging, that even trying to assemble a group that might be able to "pay to play" really has no hopes here.
