Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard that EVE: Online is going limited free to play starting November 8th. Now I know you're thinking:
"Nova wen" "Needz moar laz0rs" "Console Master Race" "pay 2 win" "What is this thread even about?"
and while I can not answer when Nova will happen, I can answer what this thread will be about.
Starting October 18th, I will begin to create a corporation (name TBD) IN GAME, and I have already started the pre-planning of the corporation.
This means that the game we all heard about but never got to try because of a subscription fee, we will now get to play, unlimited, without the need to pay real money. So now you might be thinking "but people who spend money to stay subscribed to this game will have an advantage". This is NOT TRUE. To extend/start a subscription you must buy a PLEX (Pilot's License Extension). HOWEVER, you can also buy a PLEX with in game ISK for approximately 1.1 bil. Which Clone States you will now have unlimited time to fund a PLEX. Now back to the main topic, the corporation I am creating.
I have already talked to someone I know from EVE, and they will help me make it so that the corporation will have a member limit of 12,600 even though Alpha Clones can only go to a member limit of 20 due to skill restrictions. This means that the corporation can basically take everyone that ever played Dust 514, and still not even be close to being full.
Here will be some of the benefits to joining my corporation: -0.7 security space next to a low sec system meaning that if you want to go to low sec to get some of the more valuable materials you can do so very quickly but if you want a more safe environment, you can also stick to highsec -A variety of agents: This allows new players to do something that suits them and also gives players options to fit their playstyle -Approximately 5 jumps or less from a major trade hub: This means you will need to travel less to get the materials you want and also means that people who are mainly traders/business type people will have access to that as well -3.3% tax rate: A tax rate low enough to keep members from leaving, but high enough so that the corporation can be funded -Hang out with your old Dust buddies!
This is a sneak peek of my pet project and some things that I will address in the coming days/weeks are: - Corporation Name (Please post your suggestions in the comments!) - Leadership Positions: Because I am not an all powerful being (unfortunately) I can not be on EVE 100% of the time, which means that I will need Second in Commands to help fulfill some of the many duties of the Corporate Machine (More info on applying for positions coming soon!) - Website: I will need some help making a website so if you are proficient in website creation I will have need of your help!
If you have questions or want more info, please post your comments below or join the Dust 514 Veterans Discord (please let me know if the link is faulty)!
If you have never played EVE and want to learn about it, I highly suggest visiting the E-UNI Wiki. The corporation that made the wiki is a member of the same alliance that hosted Dust University.
Thank you and I hope to see you starside!

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? |

Devs are helpful there and can 'shift' your clone to another corporation if you ask. Also Devs can start using 'reborn' charcter entry to puting your old character name here and start fresh one.

I want my old character, but I want her flying ships in EvE as well as shooting guns in Nova. |

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.
I cannot be bought, but I can be leased.

Yes, I'm planning that we all make new accounts (unless of course you already own an EVE character. All the great corporations out there, Goonswarm, TEST, NC., they all started somewhere, and so it shall be with us.
As someone who has started 10 or so different trial accounts in EVE since Dust's death, I know that the game is VERY confusing without any help, but once I found someone to tutor me and mentor me, life became so much easier! This will be one of the advantages of making a corp, so that friends can help friends out.
With Clone States, there is no reason to NOT make a new character, and you have unlimited time to earn a PLEX!
Speaking of PLEX, I am going to be implementing a PLEX based jackpot once the corporation has enough money. Of course all profits will go towards the corp and its funding.

BTW, I am not trying to turn anyone away from trying EVE; just telling you how it is. I am glad that you would be willing to help!
The corporation shall stick together and defend its own, in good times and bad times, and any attacker beware!
On the note of scheduled fleeting, there will indeed be scheduled fleeting, but to attract less spies: I will tell Directors the location and purpose of the fleet beforehand. Then around 5 minutes before we take off, they will tell our FC's location and purpose. And the grunts will live in ignorant bliss :D

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
From dust we rose through trials young as legions run through countless souls; resting dreams within the boundless nova.

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. |

I guess I will see in November. T1 cruisers can be quite powerful (eg. the Caracal), and with a few skills, T1 frigates can be built up to be pretty fair (and cheap) interceptors. I did a lot of damage with Caracals before I trained into the Cerberus, and I still have a T1 frigate I use for fast transit around New Eden, rather than risk one of my interceptors.
Note that you can't probably build up an interceptor from a T1 frigate with just an Alpha Clone's skills, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't take advantage of the speed of a frigate... |
