Hi...
I made a new corp the other day to make use of the CP points I was earning but not using...
I've set the corp up, but now what?...
Where is the info, on how much clones cost?...
Where do you buy them?...
Do you have to attack somewhere in order to get a district, or is one assigned to you from the start?...
If I eventually get some clones, find somewhere to attack and launch, who fights with me if there is no one else in the corp and who do you fight against?...
-- These questions are probably really dumb...
But if anyone can link me to a comprehensive guide / video, that would be really really helpful...

Ok, so you have to select a District to attack, then buy the clones with 2500cp 0isk... I'm assuming you then start the attack, with however many clones you have... So this leaves me with just one question, if your a solo player in a Corp, would all the other fights for and against, be random players?...
First things first you have to attack a district to get access to the clones and other options that come with getting a district. Second in order to start PCs it is highly recommended to have 16 people in your corp or people that you hire that each have a specific role and its even better if you guys have mics as communication is key during a PC.
Some roles include but aren't limited to a Pilot, a dedicated Driver, about 2 or 3 Logis, about 3 or 4 heavys, about 4 or 5 assaults, then its ideal to have at least 5 or 6 slayers of different classes.
Also if you hire people to go to PC with you make sure you pay them the desired amount that was agreed upon before. In other words don't skip payment even if you lose the PC as that can make you a target in the community.
In my experience once you start a new corp it takes approximately 3 months to get everything set up in order for you to be ready for PC.
Then if you do well in PC or just have a corp full of amazing players sometimes you will get invited to join an alliance. Which is basically an ally system. Take for example my alliance Rust415 we often help each other with PCs if a corp in the alliance doesn't have enough players for a PC.
Hope this helped.

Just to piggy back on this, if you're newer, you're going to have a hard time funding this out the gate. PC players are mostly filled with bitter vets who have 70+ mil SP to their name and expect payments of 5+ million ISK each. Though from time to time you'll find rare gems who just like to play PC, but you won't find 16 of those guys.
Additionally, you'll be subject to attacks, so if you do gain a district, just know that you don't fund all of the above, win, and sit pretty. You will be part of an ongoing battle to hold onto said district and thus will need to fund it in a continuous cycle.
If you do decide to pursue, pay attention to your timers. Each district has a timer (2 I believe) per 24 hour period in which they can attack you. Some of these timers are not friendly for you depending on your timezone. You're not likely to find 15 other random mercs willing to fight with you at 3AM. You can change your timers, but there you can only do them at specific times. So pay close attention.
Being a newer corp and depending on who you pick on to take the district from, you'll likely have the same corp stack against you. Meaning, if your two timers are at 5PM and 9PM, they'll attack you both times. They do this because buying clones are not instant or guaranteed. They take time to arrive at your district.
You have District Alpha with 250 clones.
Corp XYZ attacks your district at 5PM. They beat you and kill 112 of your clones.
Corp XYZ attacks your district again at 9PM. They beat you and kill 129 of your clones.
They've flipped your district and you're now out:
- the cost of your clone pack
- the cost you paid your mercs
- you also didn't get paid for either losing match, so your mercs might also expect to be compensated for the suits they lost afterwards if it exceeds their payments, or even in addition to their payment
You also may not be able to keep all those same 15 randoms around for 4 hours. Also, with holiday season coming up, look into locking your timers. Or you'll be surprised you went on Thanksgiving/Xmas break with your family just to come back and find your district was flipped.
So with all that in mind, I'd strongly encourage you to find a corp you jive with. Tell them your plans to enter PC space. Do the research and be very smart about where you plan to attack. Just because the corp is a no name to you, doesn't mean they don't have an alliance behind them that will fill the entire opposing side with stacked vets from an alliance corp. Then get into a groove with it and have as much fun as you can.
There are also corps out there VERY active in PC. So if you're just interesting in joining in that aspect of the game without the large ISK sign, it might be more fruitful to join them.

I have a Quafe LAV of some sort or another BPO. Tell me more about this dedicated driver role. This sounds like it could be my new thing

I have a few questions: How does one get money from Corps? Do you have to be a corp CEO to get money from the Corp? Where does pub match tax go?

Just as an aside, if this is your only goal for a corp (to make yourself money), you're going to have some pretty unhappy members. You'll paint yourself the new duna.
But any tax taken from your members goes into your Corporation Wallet. You'll find it in the corporation tab. You can withdraw from that wallet if you have appropriate roles. As CEO, you have that role. You can also assign that role to a Director if you trust someone. I've had that role before as a Director to pay for the lose of particularly expensive assets after a PC because the CEO couldn't always attend. Many ppl use this pool of money to fund PC, fund suits for your corp for PC or even to hire mercs.
EDIT: Also corporation events. I've been part of some cool corps that would host competitions for 1-5 million ISK prizes.
