Title: [FL0CK]Stormcrows - [Recruiting]
Post by: Kopenhagen on 04 Sep 2013, 09:26

(http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Jude/stormcrows_2%5B1%5D.jpg)

Has your faction not been delivering on promises?

Is all the talking taking time away from doing?

Do you have something that needs doing but no-one to do it with?

Perhaps you have a career as mercenary in Stormcrows!

Ok, enough of the cheese.

The idea is basically as stated, to be "neutral" "mercenary" corp. (Lots of  "" read down for better explanations)

That said, we wish to retain our individuals' backgrounds, as a means of driving what we do and also through which we can create stories, both in space and hopefully recorded (Writer needed, apply within) - And maybe play up the individuals in the corporation a little. Creating the strong characters out of them that some believe capsuleers to be.

We will be looking for pilots who are self sustaining, and willing to jump in and fill gaps that need filling. Adventurous types, since even joining will be an adventure. One of the requirements to join is to accomplish certain tasks, set by the members of the corp. Each pilot accomplishing these tasks will be able to add a new one. These will have some significance to our nature as capsuleers.

This is only a short introduction, please feel free to ask questions, it will help shape us as well. I will also post more as we decide and build on this idea.

Jude.

EDIT: I have removed the Mordu's affiliation. The idea for the corp was a to take a cue from them. I can write a long story on how I believe Mordu's to be a neutral faction whose economy is war. The reason I removed it is because of the misconception that "Midly Mordu's alligned = Mordu Corp". This was never intended to be our main focus, and I know that people want to assign labels, but I feel this detracts from what we are trying to do.

Been watching this with interest for a while now. Nonfactional seems... difficult, for me, for example. Mordu's aligned? Can you elaborate on that?

Title: Re: [FL0CK]Stormcrows - [Recruiting]
Post by: Steffanie Saissore on 05 Sep 2013, 13:53

I can't speak to the Mordu's aligned aspect, so hopefully Jude can elaborate upon that aspect.

As for nonfactional; admittedly I haven't dipped into the pvp aspect or the FW side of things in EVE, so my answer might be a little off of the mark, but in doing missions, I've been careful to avoid taking too many missions that affect standing with one of the four nations.  I get the feeling that your standing with Amarr equates to a "Shoot to kill, no questions, no quarter." I think in that case the corp would just need to keep that in mind when looking at potential work.  I don't think you would need to improve your standing with Amarr at all.

Hope that helps a little?  Jude might be better able to answer your questions at the moment.

Worrying less about advancing the ideals and interests of a particular faction, and more about what it means to be a capsuleer, or maybe just the bottom line of the ISK account? I find your ideas interesting, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Post by: Kopenhagen on 12 Sep 2013, 06:56

Hello

What Steffanie and Shiori said both applies, and I will try to elaborate.

What does not factional/Mordu's aligned mean?

Firstly, the idea is not to be a capsuleer representation of Mordu's, instead just a loose supporter.

Mordu's these days appear to be rather neutral, though they are closer to certain sub-empire entities. They seem willing to step and in help out when needed, without the need to always pick a side in a conflict. And they take contracts aligning with their interests instead of just the higher bidder.

This is something I wish to emulate in the corp. A neutral entity not directly supporting any faction, though with its own interests and goals. And yes, as Shiori said, some of the focus will be on what it means to be a capsuleer.

Saying that, we will be made up of capsuleers from various different backgrounds, and I don't expect anyone to forget who or what they are. This will add some flavour to the story ideas I have, and also influence our choices and interests. Now it is very hard to keep everyone happy, if too much focus is placed on the differences, and I am still figuring out how to solve any such issues.

One of the ideas is that people who have ties to a certain faction, will have some "passes". This means should something happen at home, and they feel the need to go help, and the corp cannot support them at that time, they can go and do what needs to be done. Afterwards they can return to corp. Corp loyalty is important however, and knowing those you fly with will be there for you, so this will be limited.

So in closing, non factional is a bit of a misleading term, I think extra-factional is a closer one. The corp won't support a faction, even though pilots might still hold ties. In the end though, they should agree that what the corp does is worthy of their time and effort and thus they can support it instead of being at home supporting their faction directly.

Please, let me know if anything does not make sense.

Jude.

PS. Just to elaborate on the challenges that were mention that new members had to complete. New members won't have to complete all the challenges, only a certain amount. However, to earn your corp title, you will have to complete all the challenges. Each challenge will also be the responsibility of a member, as such, new recruits will have to interact and get to know different members in the corp to join.

Seems rather interesting. Aside from player challenges ( I am keen to hear more about these ). Is there any ideas what to do to quench the thirst for pvp and what is your take on it? NBSI or will there be a more strict CoC regarding that?

Title: Re: [FL0CK]Stormcrows - [Recruiting]
Post by: Kopenhagen on 13 Sep 2013, 07:22

Ah, the age old question of where to find the GF.

I was fortunate enough to learn PVP in empire wars, years ago when people wanted to fight (Bitter vet much?). FW can be fun, and fits in with the solo/small scale, but unfortunately anything larger than 5 pilots seems to stop being a small gang in FW. Not to mention that choosing a side is always tricky. (Caldari FTW >.> )

One thing I have also found is that organised roams can often be disappointing when nothing is found, and organic pvp is more satisfying.

I have the following ideas when not on contract and they will have to all be tried to see what can be learnt from them, and how good they work. I think a 2 week - 1 month rotation and a good logistical plan might be good. Though there are some spots close to low sec that might make this easier.

- Live near NPC Null and go poke around there for something to shoot at. Possibly a good place to test tactics.
- Go to the local camped spots, it will need some intel gathering, but what good is a merc corp who cannot do that anyway.
- Declare war against some other empire mercs.
- Hunt bounties.

The usual stuff, eh? Picking targets for bounty hunting, and other mercs, will need require us to keep a constant eye out, and have updated target lists and also give us a chance to come up with clever schemes on how to defeat them.

In the end, I want to try different things, because the only way to learn is to try, and possibly lose. But experience cannot be lost, and to be effective you have to learn to handle a variety of situations.

As you may have noted, this all means that we will need a certain type of pilot, or pilots, that are willing to go out and try and learn, instead of just waiting for someone to do something official.

This also means that the corp will provide as much support as possible, and that pilots will be expected to go and lose ships. Yes, it is my controversial belief that kill boards do more than just show ratios, they also kill fun. Being sure of a kill teaches less than facing the odds with no certain outcome, at least in training. It is my hope that that experience will carry over to the important wars. Where, I have found, kill/death ratios matter less than placing the opposition in a position where they no longer what to fight.

I think that was enough of a rant, and I hope it answered your question without too much deviance from the topic.

As for the challenge, Jude's will be that a pilot who wants to join has to pod someone, or at least make a very good attempt at it. How better to embrace our capsuleer nature?

EDIT: Engagement policy would be flexible, I would say. There will be some guidelines, since it would be counter productive if pilots are limited to low sec due to a negative sec status.

Came here because someone seemed to think we're in "competition", or some such silliness. Having read the thread, nope, not at all. We have similar values to a degree, the above quote being one of the definites that I agree with wholeheartedly. Having spent time with a killboard-obsessed :l337PvP: coalition like -A-, I learned just how great the value of a killboard is for both killing fun, and while -A- had great killboard numbers, where are they now? Right, dead alliance best--oh no, wait--still dead alliance.

If you can't keep your eyes on the "prize" (sov, a specific mission, etc), all the killboard numbers in the world won't help you, and it's a good sign that you see that for what it is.

Sounds like you and I have similar values, but how we're going to follow them, and where we're going to go with them, are two very distinct and different paths. Best of luck though, and feel free to maintain friendly relations, even as a (very loose) Legion supporter. :)

They're kind of not. 9th biggest alliance in the game, 8th in terms of number of systems and 4th in outposts.

They're back on the sov scene in a pretty big way, currently straining at the leash in Providence and have started using Game of Thrones references. "What is dead may never die".

-A-. Eve's longest lasting zombie alliance.

It is a work in progress, but a start.

Now to get someone to start writing stories.

Title: Re: [FL0CK]Stormcrows - [Recruiting]
Post by: Kopenhagen on 08 Oct 2013, 05:52

First adventures up, though one still needs an image. New bio as well.

A bit more on the challenges.

They are not only a different way for members to get to know each other, but also a way to create content and an excuse to fly out with specific goals.

Since a large part of the corp ideal is helping each other achieve private goals, the challenges tie in well with this ideal. Plus they might make for good stories.

PS. Not using this thread as recruitment as much as a place to put forth ideas and show how they grow, and what goes into making a corp.

Post by: Kopenhagen on 05 Nov 2013, 12:57

I fear I might be repeating myself here, but as we grow and take in more pilots, ideas become easier to put into words.

This post is a bit more on what we are aiming at OOC.

We want to create an alternative. A non aligned RP corp, that explores what capsuleer-hood means. (And yes, we will take those that do not RP, long as they happy with what we do). Which is obviously different to different people.

Although we won't exclusively be mercs, I have always seen capsuleers as mercenary, or freelancers. We get paid to fight in the stead of others. Be it by baseliners or capsuleers. Even our industry empires are rarely subject to loyalty beyond the corp. Highest bidder wins. And thus I felt that taking contracts, when they suit us, is in line with what capsuleers are and essentially what they were created for.

A bit aspect of what we want to do, is support each other in our private goals. This is more difficult since often goals and older sympathies do not align. I look forward to exploring this aspect and finding solutions should there be opposing views. I believe that as long as people act with respect, a middle way can be found. On a larger level, this also means we stick together, as Vince has pointed out.

At the moment we also do not have a whole list of rules, our code of conduct is a guideline. Although this might become more solid, I believe that these will never have to become rules, if I look at the pilots we have attracted.

Again, some of this might be a repeat, but I hope if helps clarify our OOC goals somewhat.

Jude.

Are you going to have skillpoint minimums, or just require financial self-sustainability? This sounds like it could be a good fit for this character, my new alt. My main is turning into a manufacturer, so this character was created with RP as the primary focus, with random PvP possibilities as the secondary focus. If you don't mind, I will add you as a contact and keep an eye out for you in-game for an OOC discussion about it.

We don't have a skillpoint minimum, though a certain degree of self-sustainability is needed. We are working towards a level where the corp can supply the most commonly used ships and such, but since there is also a potential for down-time, it is good if a pilot can earn their own isk or at least stay busy.

And poke me any time you see me online, there is also normally someone in Stormcrows, our public channel.

Jude

Saying all that, some of the challenges might need a certain amount of skill points, should they be based on a certain ship type and such. Don't think it is mich of a problem currently, but just for future reference.

If you don't mind I'd like to throw a couple of questions your way as the Merc playstyle has piqued my interest in the past. 

Being that you typically get hired to do things others do not wish to do, or cannot, or will not etc...  How often do you find yourself stuck doing the really odious stuff?  I.E. if you're hired to attack a corp that usually just stations up at the merest hint of danger, do you sit there and station camp?  Are you tasked with logistics interdiction of skittish haulers?  Do you get all of the POS cleanup/takedown jobs? 

In a few months, when I finally leave this god-forsaken desert I am hoping to be back in the land of fast internet and a decent timezone so I will be looking for fights then.  At the moment I'm with a small alliance in NPC null that has one to two regularly scheduled fleet ops which 99% of the time involve us hiding until we can bomb some poor saps, rinse and repeat.  While this is fun the first few times, it gets old after time # 1754764.  I am wondering if the Merc life might be a viable alternative?

And I love the idea of crafting a narrative to go along with your activities.  Awesome method to keep folks involved, interested and feeling like they're part of something greater.

*Also, that's a pretty good looking website you got there :)

Post by: Kopenhagen on 24 Nov 2013, 10:47

Hey Drakolus,

Thanks for the positive feedback, first.

As for fights and wars, I think it is always risky. Sometimes you will get lucky and find something active, sometimes it will be dead. We are lucky in that we can choose our contracts, and that we can also look for more fun things to do in between contracts. Because I like fighting, I will always try and find something that might be a bit more active in terms of contracts.

However, I also have a lot of patience, and don't mind waiting on a target to show should the contract demand that.

One thing we are big on is trying different styles of game play. Because of the fluctuation numbers and nature of our wars, we might fly a few different sizes or types of ships in a night. I am also less about getting a ton of kills, and more about getting good kills. Sometimes these require a fair bit of patience.

I would say what we do is less about the instant rewards of an 0.0 gang. Drop bombs, get 50 kills. We have to work for our kills, but in that, we build a reputation as a group that can be relied upon. But, as with all of Eve, there is still the hurry up and wait aspect. Think it is only possibly FW and RvB that can offer alternatives to that.

So, the topic of being a merc often comes up. Because we take contracts.

I don't want to give too much away, but we have goals beyond being just mercenaries, as have been mentioned a few times.

I take it that all the info on the website is IC public?

Mmm, tough one. Some of it is, some of it are supposed to act as hooks. Things that can be explored.

The Bios for one are probably leaning more towards OOC knowledge. Though the vital stats and some of it would be IC too.

The Stories depends on the perspective I would say. Jude's can be considered IC and public. Some of the others might be a bit more personal I think.

Challenges are IC.

I think, best would be to ask the people in question just to check.

Ok, you may want to post something like that in the "About the website" section.

...And someone told me that Jude is the mercenary o' farts? :wtf:

Its threads like these that I shouldn't read at work.  Laughing hysterically wouldn't really go over well.

But good luck with the corp.

As a brief plug:

Everyone I have talked to in PIE who fought you all said that you were quite fun to fight.

I don't really hear that all that often about our enemies!

The last couple of days I've been hanging out in the Stormcrows OOC chat with some of the members, and they are all generally an extremely friendly and informative bunch. Didn't seem too annoyed with my constant questions. Excellent group of people!

For those interested, there are some stories about the PIE war up.

What Jude wrote can be considered IC knowledge.

Hail, Stormcrows. Mighty fine website, awesome name, love the challenges. Adds a lot story!

I'm on my third day in New Eden, and I need to take some OOC time to get used to the game. After I know my way around the controls and terminology I will be RPing and look forward to taking your challenges.

Stormcrows are definitely CoolPeeps IC and OOC, and I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for a non-aligned RP/PvP corp.
