You'll need at least the first of the corporation skills, which determines your corp size. You can start a corp(thus being CEO) whenever you have this skill.
BUT...much more importantly....WHY do you want to create a corp? New Eden is a dark and tough place. If you have the wrong reasons for being CEO or creating a corp, you'll burn out quickly and/or have a complete failure of a corp. Moreso if you're going into controlling districts. (Maybe not now, with all the locking, but in the future.)

If you don't know much about Eve Online, I suggest you look it up and do some reading. You are technically in Eve right now, though a lot of people say "Eve" when they really mean "Eve Online". What you are playing now is "Eve DUST514", not just "DUST". This relationship will have an effect on this game's development.
But quickly--Eve Online is a PC MMO which went live in 2003. In it players play spaceship pilots who's consciousnesseses are backup up into clones. The game has a steep learning curve(cliff), open pvp, solar systems controllable by larger player organizations (alliances--groups of corporations), and is rife with space scum.

YOU don't, but someone needs to. You don't get anywhere 'large-scale' in New Eden (the universe Eve games are in) by yourself. At least, one shouldn't be able to, IMO.

You are going to be hard-pressed, I'm guessing, to come up with these WP in a timely manner w/o a squad. And that squad will need to be doing things based on the SL's goal.

Sheeba Milli'on wrote:I selected a corporation but I don't know how to become their alliance. How do I do that?
Do you mean you joined someone else's corporation or you started your own?
If you are new to corporations, the most important piece of advice I can think to give you is Slow Down! I feel you really need to get an understanding of the culture, not just know the mechanics, before you go diving in headfirst.

An alliance is a group of corporations. Just as a corporation is a group of players united by some purpose or personality, an alliance is a group of corporations united for the same kinds of reasons.
Your corporation needs a purpose. I didn't necessarily intend for you to answer my previous question as to why you built a corporation when I asked it, but it's becoming more relevant now. Why did you start a corporation? What is your goal?
I just read today that Eve Dust514 does not yet have the mechanics for alliances, so there is no way to start one from here. The only way into an alliance as it stands today is to be invited by the leaders of an alliance from the Eve Online side of things. Maybe this doesn't need to be said, but this means (1) They'll have to know you, (2) They'll have to trust you, and (3) They'll have to have a reason why your corporation would be a good fit for their alliance.

You wanting an empire is not a reason anyone will care to join your corp, and certainly will not get you into anyone's alliance.

but you won't own the district. The corporation does. And it takes a corporation--both mechanically and in population--to take and hold a district. You'll need many people to do this, and unless you are a cult leader personality and can convince people to drink poisoned kool-aid, folks are spending their isk and showing up at specific defense times to get you a district.
I highly suggest doing some more reading on Eve Online.

actually, I have a better idea, or at least it's more direct. Go down and read the recruitment threads here in the forums. That will give you an idea of the possible cultures and/or goals corporations are built on.
