Baby Seal Beaters shall die from blunt force trauma by the HuGe PvPnes

I like the idea!

But, of course I have a question. How do we use our Dust mercs in EvE or are you planning we set up new accounts?

Can we all dogpile into Jita and gank everything in sight until they greenlight Nova?

Eve sucks, and none of you are even gonna bother trying it out to help this guy, and even if you all did, you would all suck, and get bored, and get brutally ****** up, then quit

I played EVE already so I know a bit about it so I'd be willing to help...
...if there is scheduled fleeting. That would be the only benefit I would see to coming back to the game. Besides, the ships available to F2P players are not that threatening to long time EVE players but get 10 or more with fits and pilots that know what they're doing, and you may see some vets run away.
Oh... And prepare for war as there are a ton of "high sec mercs" that love attacking noob corps. I see "high sec mercs" loving F2P players and in turn turning quite a few potential subscribers away. BTW, I am not trying to turn anyone away from trying EVE; just telling you how it is.

If I can get access to my old EVE account, I can possibly get you some free T1 frigates, destroyers, and cruisers as I had quite a few sitting in several locations. It's not much but free is free. I mostly produced by Hek though which could end up being far from where you plan to call home for the corp. Anyway, looks like I have some stuff to look into.

*UPDATE: According to the Clone State FAQ, I can log into my previous account as a Alpha Clone. Therefore, I should have access to all my T1 frigates, etc I previously produced. I am now just unsure if I will still have the skills unlocked to produce any more ships. I guess I will see in November.

Perhaps I'll use my free account to fuel my ISK generation in order to reactivate my old account, I had PI mostly maxed and some skills in stealth hauling / stealth bombing along with cruisers. I can't remember if I got the next step up or not, it's been a while.

I'm not all that great with ISK generation at that level without farming my life away all month lol, but there's time to save.

I'm not someone to rely on or anything but if I were around I would gladly lend my blade o7

I already have a number of EvE accounts so I won't be creating any new ones. I do have a completely "unaligned" Gallente Pilot, Jenquilla Viliana, who I could probably join up to the corp, and thereby help out with training of rookies.

My EvE main, Nalianna, is already in a player corp, Rogue Clones, as is this one, part of the Yulai Federation head quartered in Providence, so I think she would not be appropriate for our needs.

lol I see what you did there.... :)

It probably would be worth mentioning people can create their EvE accounts right now, as trial accounts. When the November release is deployed, these accounts and all other trial accounts will be accessible as Alpha Clones. All subscribed accounts will be Omega Clones. All characters on a subscribed account should be available as Omega Clones as I understand it.

I might get in on this. My current EVE Corp is pretty much dead, sadly.

Actually, Blaziken, how far are you willing to go with this? Engineering Complexes are coming out with that expansion, and the Blueprints will be seeded before the expansion drops. Have you considered building one of those to use as a base of operations?

If we could use donations or other means to scrape together enough ISK to build a Medium to build ships from it could allow us to just roam around not giving a **** about trying to find replacement ships. Obviously there'd be some of us that would need to work on coming up with income, but with enough members I don't think we'd have a problem.

I'd gladly help contribute time to this project. ****, maybe we could get really crazy and try and set up an Azbel(Large) in Molden Heath? Get our old "stomping grounds" back?

Awhhhhh shucks, you seem to be pulling in some good interest now. I have a few eve accounts I'll throw into the pot of it helps keep the community together. I make a fair amount of isk off incursions on my main account too so if you let me join I can help out a lot with financing the newb ships and jackpot program. Don't get me wrong, I'm not eve rich by any means, but I'll have a hell of a lot more money than the new guys joining. I've also been playing eve for about 5 years now on and off so I have a fair amount of experience with things like fleet ops, exploration, mining, PVE ect.....

The worth of my materials and blueprints far surpass my actual ISK. I was primarily an ice miner wanting to go full industrialist. Without established contacts with cheap moon materials though, I could not build T2 ships like I wanted. It would cost twice as much to produce than it would be to just buy the ships outright. That was one thing that frustrated me about EVE. I then moved on to missioning; mostly transport missions through hostile areas. It was quite the rush for a while as I had some sweet transport fits.
Anyway, I am hoping to put my previous build up to good use in November.

I want to know your purpose.

What are you going to do after establish the corporation ?

Blaziken was talking about a possible Alliance in Discord. Might be able to convince our CEO to jump on new project with the chance for lots of PvP.

"Limited" is in the eye of the beholder. Dust players tend to think in terms of mixing and matching racial gear to the task. So, in truth do some EvE players. But initially, all EvE players start off as one race or another and have to train to expand out. While they're still exploring their initial race, though, they have a lot of experience to obtain just on that race's ships and weapons.

It's not just about the weapons, for instance, it's also about tactics. A Gallente ship is armour tanked, and uses blasters and drones. There's a reason for this. The drones are used for attacking en masse while the ship gets in close (armour is good for that) and hits hard with the blasters (strongest weapons in the game for their size), which are similar to the Assault Rifle in technology.

These are then the tactics of Gallente, heavily armour tanked and fast to get in close quickly and armed with blasters to do the most damage up close. Blasters have short range but tremendous damage, so getting in close is necessary.

Contrast that with Caldari, who are all about kiting and light tank (shields) with rapid repair. They stay out of range of opponents weapons and lob long range missiles and rail gun charges. Rail guns have range over blasters, but at reduced effectiveness, similar to the Rail Rifle.

Caldari win EvE battles by sheer persistence and attrition of the enemy, where Gallente win by hitting hard and fast. So it comes down to a battle of tactics and strategies, not just a matter of who has the most powerful weapon and best armour.

Within the limitations of each race's Alpha Clone, I think there's quite a deal of scope. You only get to fly that race's ships and use that race's weapons, but they suit each other, used in concert with that race's tactics and strategies, so you can still be very effective until you decide to pay for upgrade to an Omega Clone.

In looking forward to this, I won't be able to regularly play until the 23rd-24th of October when I'm back home but I'm looking forward to help train all the new guys with the basics and what not.

I have been looking for a new Eve corp to join ever since Dust was shut down. But I am struggling to find ones interested in Nova. I was previously with The Southern Legion (AU/NZ based corp) and I spent a great deal of time trying to help new Dust members to learn the basics of Eve Online.

I very much enjoy helping new players and I think your corp is what I have been searching for, though im more interested in membership over being a director. My main concern is what the main time zone will be. I am Australian and I normally play a few hours before DT and sometimes an hour or so afterwards.

I am by far no expert but I know enough to help the new guys get a good start in New Eden. I started in Wormholes then when Dust came out I was in the fight for Molden Heath. I have been playing Eve since 2010 and played Dust from closed beta. I suck at Eve Pvp but always willing to try.

I guess I should have sent this via the email but was kinda hoping CCP still reads these forums and can see we are all still eagerly awaiting some sort of news on Nova

Metallibanga - 93mil SP - 90% Pvp skills
MURDERFAC3 - 79mil SP - 90% Pvp skills
Samsquamsh - 29mill SP - Industrial/Trader pilot
3 low SP trading toons - T0kiWart00th, Sgt Simmo and Maltese Magician

Hi again. I had not replied in a while to the latest Honk threads but I still plan on helping out come November. In fact, I just got back into my previous account. Until then, I doubt I will have much to say. After all, it has been a while since I played EVE. As I couldn't remember my EVE character name, I am sure there are other things I have forgotten about EVE.

Just wondering...
Could you put scheduled fleeting on EVE Gate Calendar so can be seen by all corp mates? You don't have to say where from because I know you worry of spies but stating the time and purpose (exploration, missions, etc) would be great. That way if there is any interest by any corp member, the other details can be found out in game.
Just a thought. I ask as I do not have a ton of time for gaming but could work in scheduled fleeting if I know ahead of time.

Where do you guys live so i can come shot you?

Join us?

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME COMING!

Friendly tip: Low Sec is the best for just starting out. Take a cruise and see what you find.

Lowsec and nullsec should be all that is played. Unless you want to run some highsec pyramid scams.

What's the planned timezone?

Sounds good Big B. The Eternal Noxium Imperium is recruiting for November. A few Eve Veteran friends of mine are going to log back on. Been playing EvE for two years before Dust Came out. In fact my Dust toon is a member. I normally help out new players in EvE and would welcome a chance to get my fellow Dust players in a chat room to answer questions. As for H.O.N.K., or whatever name is ultimately decided, my corp will stand by you guys, alliance or otherwise. =)

Blaze, stop Corp hopping. #advice

I said stop it, that ain't falco.

Well, having been in Dust corps with both you guys, I might just hit y'all up for this. Got a paid EVE account a few weeks back...

Been thinking about starting a new EVE account just to try out the improved New Player Experience. The NPE was almost non-existent when I started in 2008.

That and the fact that the last time I came back to EVE after a long absence I got most of my expensive ships blown up before I learned to play again. So I am thinking that if I decide to go back to EVE it might be best to start fresh with a new account, and then go back to my old account after I got the hang of things again.

... so, if I start a new account, I will likely join H.O.N.K.

I was planning on getting involved with H.O.N.K. but been pretty busy with real life lately. The little time I've had for gaming I've spent on Battlefield 1 as I recently reconnected with a few DUST players on it.
Anyway, I am on vacation next week where I will have some extended down time to finally get on EVE. I hope everyone in H.O.N.K. is having fun with EVE as that is the true factor whether or not players will keep playing. Like DUST, don't sweat dying that often and definitely don't sink all your ISK into a single fit as you are almost guaranteed to lose it.

So how is this thing going? Has EVE swallowed you up and spit you back out?

How goes the Dust corp?

If I ever find time to play eve again (Especially considering the Alpha clone stuff) then I may well be interested in joining up with DUST bros.
