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

Awesome, we could use some veteran EVE players to help out our newer members!

We only have four votes for the corporation name so far, if you want to influence the corporation go here to vote!

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.....

I want to know your purpose.

What are you going to do after establish the corporation ?

I have a grand total of 110 mil eve isk...


... I had more in dust :(

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 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?

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.

You realize if you bail on =NT= I'm going to go on walkabout of the North and probably join some unsavory characters, right?

Not meaning to speak for OP but it appears the mere purpose is to simply have a common EVE corp for previous DUST players to experience EVE together. As corp recruits will be from DUST, I would guess PVP and attack missions would be primary focus but I am just guessing. In truth though, if there are a lot of players that get involved, we could branch into multiple areas of play although the Alpha Clone tree appears to be quite limited.

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.
