Friends willing to join us in Rock...
Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:53 pm
I have a friend here at work who also happens to play EVE. Him and a few of his corp mates have been wanting to play around in wormhole space.
Unfortunately the first small tower they setup in a class 1 wh, ended up getting destroyed by a corp. Their losses were somewhere near the 2Bn range in ships and what not. So needless to say that their first experience was definitely not the best. So, while I was talking about the situation with my friend at work, we struck on the idea that perhaps they should setup a POS in our space where they enjoy the safety we do, as well as having the opportunity to play around with the sleepers and null sec rats.
So I would like to put the question to the EVE players: Would you guys mind if we had another corp setup in our WH space? The corp itself is some 28 members, but the ones who would be involved in this currently is only 3-4, though could be more.
PROS:
[*] We will have more people out there with us. We have the EMBU in our wh space but the last word I had from them was that they were planning on moving on, as they found a WH that better suits their needs (static C3 and C5 whs).
[*] The members that will be coming in are flying command ships and the like so if we want to start running class 5 combat sites they might be willing to jump in and provide additional firepower, etc.
[*] Another orca.. 'nough said..
[*] They are all Tucson folks, so play times will be similar to MST which means more active pilots around to protect our WH space if needed. It doesn't happen often, but we do get occasional visitors.
CONS:
[*] More people to run roids, which means less overall take for the corp. Although there is plenty to go around.
[*] .... Not sure there are any real drawbacks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If we do want to move forward with this, we will need to figure out how best to help them get setup. I still have the medium True Sansha tower that they could use (or buy out right if they want). So getting them a location is easy enough. But coordinating getting their members in that want to come in will be interesting. We will also probably need to set them to blue as we did with EMBU.
Winbrian brought up the idea of asking them if they wanted to join us, but there is some thought that they might not want to leave a corp they have been working to build up for the last 2 years. So another thought was do we want to consider an alliance type of situation? If we have some form of alliance or that type of understanding that perhaps if they wanted to join you guys out there doing low sec PvP they would be able to without dealing with the typical blue issues.
When I get in game next and see them I will invite them to the SSX_Public channel so they can get a feel of our craziness as well. I was invited to their public channel last night but I don't remember the name at the moment.
I know I am missing additional stuff, but figure this is a good initial post to get the conversation going. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Also I will be sending this link to my co-worker here to spread to his corp members for them to look at as well.
