I’m a fairly newly baked father with a daughter of 1.5 years so my gaming times are primarily in the evening, or 1700-2100 eve time. I’ve also got a wife so that generally means that every night is not in fact game night. My life is busy so there will be weeks when I’m online once or twice and other weeks where I can get online near every evening.
I’ve been hanging out in a close knit null corp and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly. Great gang, all in all. They have however moved on to alliance based and coalition based ops, with fleet pings every waking hour ( It feels like) , and all our “in corp” stuff has bled away in favour of larger and more serious ops. And honestly, I really dislike the large fleet stuff, so I’d like to avoid it, at least as anything mandatory if im online.
Got sidetracked in a different null corp for for nearly 2 months, that also seemed like a great gang, but I struggled with the same issue of pings from the alliance coming in at all hours.
I’ve extracted my assets from their space and I’m once again consolidating my assets in high-sec while I search for something that can be a bit more permanent.
I’m looking for something laid back, smaller scale, or at least a place where smaller scale isn’t entirely ignored, where there are no CTAs or god damn strat ops that I need to hide from.. Let me play when I get to play.
I’m fairly new to the game, still trying to get my isk making feet up under myself, I have however accumulated 39 mill sp, and I have a secondary account which sits on about 27mill sp and a freshly made third account which is 9m sp and mostly used for PI purposes at the moment. These skillpoints are not representative of my game knowledge. I still feel like I just started the game.
Gotta be honest with you… I don’t even know what NPSI community means xD
I’m getting the vibe that a lot of what you do is more than a 10, 15 man fleets ? If that is the case I’m already lost. I want something a bit more intimate than that. Correct me if I’m wrong!
NPSI = Not purple shoot in sight = public fleets everyone can join for some pew pew
Pochven is a region for small and midsize pvp and our fleets are around 20-25ish and we fight the multiboxers that provide us some good targets, good killmails and good loot
HopelessNorwegian, o7 — and congrats on the little one
What you’re describing is exactly why TUSK Corporation exists.
A lot of us are parents, partners, and professionals first, capsuleers second. That means:
No CTAs
No mandatory strat ops
No expectation that you’re on standby every time a ping goes out
If you’ve lived through the “alliance blob phase,” you already know it can bleed the soul out of a good corp. We’ve intentionally built TUSK to keep corp identity and small-to-mid scale content front and center — not drowned out by coalition noise.
A few things that should line up well with what you’re looking for:
Laid-back nullsec culture – play when you can, step away when life calls. No explanations required.
Small-gang PvP respected and supported – roaming, opportunistic fights, and pilots who prefer thinking over tidi.
Minimal ping spam – when we ping, it’s because it matters, not because someone wants numbers on a spreadsheet.
Newer-player friendly without being a newbie corp – SP is a tool, not a requirement. We care about attitude, curiosity, and willingness to learn.
ISK foundations – PI, mining ops (optional), and industry support to help you get your feet under you without pressure.
Your play window (1700–2100 EVE) is solid overlap with our core, and your multi-account setup is already ahead of the curve. More importantly, you’re honest about where you’re at — that’s exactly the mindset we want.
If you’re looking for a permanent home that respects your time, keeps things human-scale, and lets you enjoy the game without hiding from pings, we should talk.
Reply here or reach out in-game and we’ll take it from there.
Thank you, but I want away from alliance doctrines and strat ops and I don’t particularly want to be part of a machine! Like I said in post, small gang community.
Ive actually opened a channel with black Ross alliance. And ive already been told that you guys expect members that are online to partake in your strat ops and CTAs. Embellished is however on my list! Thank you for your consideration!
Mind me asking how you keep yourselves afloat isk-wise with lower skill point players? I can’t do marauder ratting and gas cloud mining is an absolute last resort. What are my options ? How is PI in the hole ? How much do you expect your members to play? Am I allowed to do my own thing if I wish when I get online ? I’m done being hounded by corp CEOs for not taking part in fleets every time I log on and just want to explore or mine a bit from my null days
Not going to lie to you, we live in null and we do get pings and CTAs and StratOPs, HOWEVER we’re not really pushing those to be mandatory. We believe our playerbase comes to those if they want to keep the space.
I am a father myself and we have multiple dads in corp with younger kids so we know the struggle to balance everything around a game as demanding as Eve can be.
I try to run 1 Corp Even a week, it can be PvE or PvP based, we often ping the alliance for it too, because in SLOW we try to be one big family but yeah, those roams and such typically stay small to med scale.
Take a look but if you think it’s not for you i understand.
Not mandatory, but I reckon it’s frowned upon to decide to rat if there is an op going ? When I log on, I want to relax. I’m not relaxing if I know everyone around me REALLY THINKS I should be participating. Besides that, it creates a bit of a toxic environment if it is in fact frowned upon and I still decide to sit it out, even though it’s “techincally” allowed to do so. In my last home, I was allowed to sit it out, and do my own thing. But I was asked to maybe dock up and grab a coffee so people wouldn’t see. It’s a bit of the same issue, although perhaps not entirely.
I appreciate your offer and consideration! Sov Null needs be defended, so I’ve come to terms with the fact that null might not be for me at this time.
REJECT BLOB, WORSHIP BOB
