Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Chaos68 on August 02, 2004, 03:24:36 PM
Anyone know if the AH corp is going to happen?  i counted 15 names so far off this board that has an account (trial or monthly). that is a good start for a corp.  


-zeroa
-Amarr race
-Hek system (0.5)

Im in - but Im a n00b.  Barely 100,000IKS and a crappy boat.

Ill most likely sign up after my trial is up - I like the game.

Was commenting with a board member yesterday in the game that the more I learn about it, the more I realize Im totally clueless - thats usually the mark of a good game.

Im Caldari though - can different races join the same Corp or is the Eve universe a virtual version of WWII Germany?

heh, I *think* that actually requires a certain skill to allow members of other races :)

i dont think that you have to be the same race.

This wedesday im restarting up my main char.  so from then if no one has made a corp yet i might start on one.  Or if one is otw i will help out what i can to get it up and running.

Just downloaded Eve, but I cant freakin connect to the server, any ideas how to fix this little issue, also if I could get some help once I get going. I know ZERO about this game other than what I have read on the website and what you guys have said. Looks pretty cool but I def. need some help.

Well - Furious was good enough to hook me up with some dough.  Can probably spare around 1 mil at this point.
Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Octavius on August 02, 2004, 11:41:05 PM
jesus, Furious had that much cash? :)

I can donate also.  Just need to start killing/mining more :)  Went spend happy, lost a ship (was insured), and am now down to 100k.

Hehe, no - he gave my quite a bit, but Im lumping some of my own savings into that as well.

Sorry guys... haven't been playing online much for the past few days so I'm woefully behind on trying to set something up. I sent my kids off to the grandparents for a few weeks so I've had even less time than normal. ;)

Anyway... The one big difficulty to having mixed-raced squads IMO, is that it might not be as profitable. It's harder for a Caldari to operate in Gallente space than it is on his home turf.

This is cool.

name - Khamul

I don't have too much in the way of money. I've got really high piloting and EW skills and almost have one of the new combat frigates. I've been making money as a smuggler/courier for hire in corp. vs. corp. wars. I'll come looking for you guys later tonight.

Nooooooo
Please don't drag me back to the $15/mo MMORPG screensaver!!!!!!!!


Seriously, I played for a month, then started just logging in to manage the offline learning, then forgot even about that and unsubscribed...
Might be better with a lot of people starting at the same time.. mmmmm....

Post by: CyranoAH on August 03, 2004, 11:40:39 AM
My thoughts exactly Takeda...

If there's going to be an AH Corp going on, please do tell, I might consider giving EVE another try.

i changed my name, but im a caldari now.. cedric hawke..

definitely interested in joining AH corp.. hmm

Oct, I gave Saur about 760K isk and a Bantam, Condor and Kestral w/ 4 missle launchers and afterburner.  

I found for courier missions (no fighting) get a cheap shuttle.  550m/s sure does cut down on the 15km flight to the next gate.

If we had an AH corp and started to take over some stations or control whole constellations, I would pay the price.  For me though, the solo game was boring as hell.  The AI pirates are dumber than a first day AH newbie.

...also, I hate that there is no direct control over the ships.  It's an online economy simulator in space.  I guess I wanted more of a sim.

It's harder for a Caldari to operate in Gallente space than it is on his home turf.


Ingame handle is Traxlweav.  I'm a Gallente by race. I'm ganged with AKIron (Samanzar ingame handle) who is a Minmatar or some such.  We're working out of Hek (a minmatar system),  a 0.5 security area.  I'm running a Gallente frigate, and not having too much trouble.

Scored my first battle victory tonight.  Was peacefully mining when I was attacked by three angel pirates. Killed one, damaged another before I had to run for it as my shield was near gone.  Felt good to zap one though.

Cost me 4700isk to repair my ship.  Looking forward to the bounty.

I'm a lover, not a fighter:D

Gona build some factories, I wish to stay Galente, I think I can still join the corp, can't I?

Alright guys just started playing tonight, im Caldari and since I just started im operating somewhere near the training academy which I cant remember the name of lol. Anyways I love the game but if anyone out there could get ahold of me in game my handle is AZHIKER and ill be out and about mining to build up the cash at hand. Again Id like to hook up with some guys in there so try and get ahold of me or let me know how to find you. And how are we coming on staring up an AH Corps.

Hmmm... are there some good candidate systems somewhere in-between Gallente and Caldari space? Need something with factories and low security space somewhat close by.

count me in sandman.

im gallente, got me an imicus and have made about a mill in cash now.


i plan on being primarily a fighter.. those spec op electronic warfare ships look mighty tempting.

but if shiva is released i may go for the caldari destroyer... sessy ship!

I just created a corp... "Aces High Security Force". In case you want to play with this "feature", it cost me 1.6 million ISK for the registration fee".

I looking for a HQ now. For the time being, I only have the skills to hire Caldari. I need to work on the other races.

just let us know when you set up shop sand

If you happen to find anything that looks promising, let me know.

Sandman can I put in a suggestion for a corp. name?
Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Sandman on August 05, 2004, 10:31:14 AM
Sure... I'm not sure I can change it... but fire away.

Attack Squadron 1 (Ind.)(AH)

Attack- because when we get the cash and the skills I assume we are going to lay waste to people who have it coming.

1- because we are number 1. :)

(Ind.)- no racial or governmental allegiance. All races are welcome.

(AH)- because we're the only real virtual pilots in Eve damnit.
Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Sandman on August 05, 2004, 10:54:38 AM
Sounds good... unfortunately I can't change the name. I could delete this one and create another, but it's probably not worth the additional 1.6 million ISK.

FWIW... I'm looking at Iyen-Oursta for an HQ.
Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Chaos68 on August 05, 2004, 10:59:10 AM
sign me up, my new name is "Spitfire Rider".  I dont do much with him right now im just learning skills.  Im going to try and get a cloaking device for my ship so i can go undetected and hunt for bounty.  :)  some new players have a bounty of 14million, i figure they should be easy kills :D



One thing for the corp is to try and find a station that has alot of items close to it.   Me and Rett Lupin had some trubble yesterday trying to find a ship. We must have made 20 system jumps to get one bantam.   We were out in the middle of no where  :(


Oh yeah i do like the name  :aok
Title: Eve Corp (Eve online)
Post by: Khamul on August 05, 2004, 11:02:38 AM
Sandman go for the change. With 15 (or more!) guys in our corp. we'll make 1.6m ISK very quickly. I'll also gladly let you dock my pay for the cost of reforming the corp.

I'm Amarr and I'll be heading to the area you point me at over the next couple of days.

I would just call it Aces High vets, it's a corporation. Anyway sandman, I'm a Gallen, let me know when I can join. maybe AH memebers can donate a bit of cash to help u out absorb the cost.

I'm a newbie, so i don't have much, but can throw in like 50k.
