However, it requires a lot of effort to get it up and running. You need to have people who are capable of handling new players, as they make great additions to FW efforts once they become experienced.

You also need people who are capable of handling the logistics of things such a q-syncs & organization, people who can provide Orbital Support & Channel Moderation, and most importantly you need players who are loyal and won't run away when the fight gets tough, or draw out petty arguments.

It also has worked before. Up until "The Great Desertion" as some would call it, every Faction other than the Caldari has been able to maintain a competent FW Corp.

Notable examples include:

Turlayon 514 - Gallente FW
New Age Outlaws - Matari FW
Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris - Amarr FW

I am going to be brutally honest and say that Turalyon 514, while it had a very strong (I think we were 300 men at one point) EVE side, it was never a major force DUST side, and it collapsed after I stopped giving it life support.
My corpmates there were wonderful people, but there weren't many of them and we never managed to field a full 16 man team.
FW at that time wasn't quite as developed as it is now, though.

I was considering starting up a Gal FW corp, but with the state FW is in atm all it would mean is 30 minute queues for unsatisfying stompfests.

No dedicated FW corp can make a living with those kinds of restrictions. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

I want to suggest we can be profitable but Dust side we simply cannot. EVE side if I converted my LP values I could rock out with 3-4 Navy Armageddons in an instant roughly worth 400,000,000 ISK each or roughly 50 Navy Slicers @ 20,000,000 each, or maybe some 10 or so Nomens worth many 60,000,000 each. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.

( can eve players join and add funding/donate to a dust based corp? or can dust players join eve corps and receive money from a corp wallet?) at one point myself michael arck and Jane madson had a caldari factional corp (oukh) but recruitment, funding, and finally its collapse lead to my discouragement from fw. not having a full LP store and LP gear costing isk and LP is also a drawback If my battle expense was paid and FW was easier to join matches I would play only FW ( isk please) No you cannot. If we could I could honestly bankroll all of PCLAS myself, provide monthly allowances, etc, until industry could be established to produce our dropsuits, weapons, tanks, etc. *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.
