We have applied for entrance into the Opprimo Vox Alliance in Eve. We know these guys, some we have been flying with for a couple years. They have industry, PvP, Mission runners and wormhole operations. I will be sending a corp mail for information on the intel channels and the likes. This, I feel, is an oppurtunity for growth in the corp, both in operations knowledge and teamwork. The alliance has a plan for 0.0 sov in the works, at which point we may be called upon to help patrol / maintain that sapce, but none of this is mandatory. This could be a great oppurtunity for us as a group, like the good old days in fountain alliance. I do not expect it to be the same as that period though, as there is no plans to try and claim an entire region of space.
It takes 24 hours after our application has been accepted before we are in the alliance, however, any that are in empire are welcomed to join them in their current operations. If you are in WH space or empire, you are not expected to leave what you are doing to be in the Alliance. The group is setup fairly similar to our own, with groups out doing individual operations, like us with WH ops, low sec and missioners / industry guys.
I made this decision based on discussions in chats in game, on skype and thru discussions with the alliance head diplomat. No real opposition was discussed other than potential mandatory operations, which I am assured will not happen. Just as we do corp operations as a "if you can, great. If not, we understand" mindset.
