| if you want to join a pvp corp the easiest way is to look at their killboards. how many kills do they get in a day? Is the "last 20 kills" stretch out over several days, weeks? I peruse the recruitment forums on occasion and I see these "pvp" corps/alliances recruiting, or advertising in threads of pvpers looking for a new home, then I look at their killboards and there's 3 pilots in the weekly top 10, and to fill out the last 20 kills on their front page it's going back 6 weeks of activity. If they are getting kills, look at the fights that they do get, is it all them and 900 of their closest friends and allies shooting shuttles? Do they fight even odds or outnumbered, or do they need a 2:1 ratio to engage? If you really want to do your research look at the people they're killing and check their kb's, is the corp you're looking at post their losses or is their killboard all fluff? Look at their losses. Look at what they fly and how they fit? Does it look like retarded monkey through random modules on the ship? does it look like they have a clue what they are doing? Also look at who's killing them, and who they are killing. If you find re-occuring enemies talk to them in game. Maybe let them believe you're interested in joining them, then ask them about the corp you're really considering joining. Find out what their enemies say about them? Granted they won't have the nicest things to say about their enemies but, do they respect them, consider them good fighters? Smack talking kiddies? How do they see them?
Sadly, I have no advice if you're looking to join an industrial/mining/mission running corp, sorry. |
