So I'm new to dust but not to FPS. I am throughly enjoying it though and lookin to get into it more. I'm a solid player, not great but solid. I've always been more of an objective go getter than a straight up kill machine. I'm not really sure what the benefits of being in a corp are other than a group of peeps to play with. I have a mic and typically run an assault type class but am not really attached to it. i could do any role required im sure. I'd also like to be in a decent sized corp but it doesn't matter that much. I'm here to have fun but also win. I sadly can't play everyday but most weekends I'm on. Anyways, ya wanna know more let me know. |

Check out 'Havok Core'. We are not a large corp, only about 40 or so members. We play to have fun and are also some what competitive. We all have mics and are objective orientated. Drop by the 'Havok Core' chat sometime to see if it's the place for you. |

I'll check it out. I'd also like mention to everyone, that my team comes before all else in game . I can't be a lone wolf... It's just not that fun for me. Team success is paramount. Also, these corp battle things... What's that all about? Just corp v. Corp? Is there a prize? |

It's for rep and ISK. Look into us as well if you want. Corp battles are really fun when you get full teams. |

Corp matches are pretty much just a source of isk, but they can be fun and competitive. Later on, players will be able to acquire districts from those matches, thus further tying us into the EVE universe. |

Corp battles are just what DUST is about. They are contracts from EVE corporations, and they're all about completing the mission within budget. KDR doesn't matter, having top-end gear isn't always beneficial, and lone wolves are a liability. It sounds like you already have your head in the right place, and I'll echo Z3R0's suggestion to swing by the "Havok Core" channel and just ask to join one of our squads. You don't have to apply to the corp to play with us. Organic growth is working better for us than just trying ot be the biggest corp. We have enough people on to run corp battles, and still know each other well enough to recognize voices in comms, and know each other's proficiencies.
To elaborate on the current corp mechanics, right now each of the four NPC corps will post missions that a director may accept, to attack a district held by their enemy. The corp has to put up a 1mil ISK collateral. On mission completion (winning an 8 v 8 skirmish) they get a payout that looks to be 1.9 Mil ISK right now and their collateral returned. This goes directly to the corp wallet. Participants get 0 ISK, 0 SP as a direct result of the match. It is up to directors how to divvy up the spoils. I believe the current payouts are set intentionally low as this is still "beta". Once one corp has accepted an "Attack" contract, an opposing corp may accept the "Defend" contract under the same terms. As I suggested, completing under budget is key also. If your corp loses over 1.9 Mil combined assets in the victory, you still come out poorer. A team running vk.0's without matching player skill and teamwork is likely to quickly find themselves in the red.
The control of a district is important to EVE players as well. Those who are declared militia for one of the major factions enjoy certain perks that scale with their level of control over the districts in a region. Corp battles are special in that eve militia can provide orbital support if you can arrange for them to be at the right place at the right time. Works just like warbarge strikes but with greater effect and a choice of three types of weapon with some differences.
Corp battles are important because this system is the bread and butter of DUST and will be expanded beyond faction warfare / militia space and into space that individual eve corps hold sovereignty over. Space that they are willing to pay a lot to keep. Battles where a large collateral should be expected and a high confidence in your team will be required. |

That's sounds pretty freakin sweet. Now you said something about joining y'all's channel... How do I do that? I'd really like to game with y'all sometime. This games potential is blowing my mind. I knew nothing about EVE or Dust before the other day and it is awesome!

By pressing select in your mercenary quarters you open a window with tabs. Create a new tab and search 'Havok Core'. That channel will then be added as a tab that will allow you to chat with people in our corp. |
