Hi! New to EVE RP
« on: 13 Jan 2011, 15:42 »

Hello all! o/

New player to EVE but long time RPer (Anyone else remember "Keep on the Borderlands"?) looking to get involved in the RP community of EVE.

I'm playing a Caldari Dissenter who is a bit of a rebel without a cause at the moment. I would like to get involved with a RP corp that would be in the anarchist, libertarian and/or anti-slavery, vein. For RP purposes though I'm not sure about joining an actual corp… I don't think it would be his style. Would joining an alliance be better perhaps? I'm not sure what to do about this… suggestions would be welcomed.

In the future I would like to get into building rigs and frigates and have the idea in my head that I would like to provide industrial (rigs, frigs, ammo, mods) and perhaps even logistic ship support to a group of freedom fighters.

Please see my character page: http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=1624.0

I look forward to comments and appreciate any advice you can offer.

Yes.
...anarchist, libertarian and/or anti-slavery, vein....
Pirates. Yarrrrrr.
Anarchy is a Guristas thing in my oppinion, but if you're looking into a more 'libertarian' role, you might be interested in the route I'm pondering for the near future.

Corps are part of Alliances. Suggestions are always given, look at me, I'm dispensing with the verbal prodding right now. =P

As to character page, I'll poke it and probably pout because yours was written with more thought than mine. x3 Oh well.

Welcome to Backstage - and the end of your meatspace life - cookies are there, *points in two random directions,* and there's tea, coffe and water.
I can offer something stronger and there are well-dressed individuals offering brightly coloured pills hanging around, too.
Good luck in your future RPs. o/

Welcome! To be honest, you'll probably want to join a corp, if only for your OOC enjoyment//camaraderie //avoiding NPC corp chat. Feel free to take your time though, I played nearly 8 months before I joined one.

Gues what was the corp that came to my mind first... The Star Fraction(not sure does the description fits them)

You join an alliance by joining a corp that is a member. Most alliances do not take one-man (or a couple-of-men) corporations as members due to the bureaucratic overhead just not being worth it, though there are exceptions. That said, capsuleer corporations in EVE are pretty much "corporations" in name and maybe some CONCORD bureaucracy only; they are basically groups of people who manage their businesses whatever way they frigging like, so you will probably find something that is managed in a way you like by looking around.

Pro tip: treat the search for a suitable corporation as an opportunity to RP. Join RP channels and RP at them, asking IC for recommendations for stuff you are IC looking for, etc. Judge the corporations you review as potential employers not just based on what they say about them OOC, but also how their RP feels to you when they respond to you when you put in an IC query.

And welcome to EVE.

o/ guys thanks for all the responses.

I should clarify the "no corp" thing… I was thinking of starting my own little corp "Kiely and Son" salvage, (Convo us for all your salvaging needs ; ) until I can build up some skills and be a bit more attractive to other corps… or maybe I can join an alliance with my small corp? I think the latter would be the best RP approach, but I'm not sure it is practical. I'm detecting perhaps not.

Anarchy is a Guristas thing in my oppinion, but if you're looking into a more 'libertarian' role, you might be interested in the route I'm pondering for the near future.

o/ Dossie, I don't think Max is going to be fully anti-pirate, he sees a lot of grey in that area. The myths of robbers and pirates who steal from the rich and give to the poor appeal to Max he is also aware many freedom fighters get labeled "pirates", but the blood thirsty psychopath variety of pirate looking to up their pod kill numbers, or the ones that try to kill him while he peacefully salvages asteroid belts... he's no fan of those pirates.

When you're ready to share I'd love to hear what you're pondering…

Gues what was the corp that came to my mind first... The Star Fraction(not sure does the description fits them)

o/ Akrasjel… that was where the path lead me to, but I don't have the prerequisites to join (too noob). Also, reading their mission statement I got the feeling it may be a tough go for a noob (a bit like diving in the deep end) they don't seem to have the same support system as some corps (skills, ships, isk) and they perhaps make you some instant enemies… would that be safe to assume?

But their philosophy absolutely appeals to me.

o/ Elsebeth, great tip thank-you. Any channels to recommend?

There's a big honkin' RP channels list here. If that doesn't help, join channel 'OOC' ingame if you already haven't. =]

Thanks Dossie... quite the list!

I'll have to get on some of those tonight and see where it leads.
