Not only is Hard Knocks the all time highest ranking WH PVP corp but we have consistently been in the TOP 10 corps over the past 30 days as per Drifting Loot.
What should you know about us?
We are a like-minded group of individuals who enjoy the lifestyle of living in wormhole space. We have everything from your bitter vets with years of experience and willing to share it (if you ask nicely), to your multiboxer zoomer quad-plated Bhaalgorn pilots on too much Strong boosters with abyssals like you’ve never seen before.
As of right now, our corporation is active across all time zones and we are actively looking to maintain that harmony. As long as you can speak proficient English, we shouldn’t have an issue with communication.
We are en entity focused around the collection of good fights and strong frags, both in nullsec and wormhole space. We are the detenders of a logistical capacity and intel network that allows us to deploy to 99% of wormhole space and maintain a complete siege. Why you ask me ? Because you have loot and it should’ve been in our hangars by yesterday.
We fly heavy doctrines (bling too, cause we don’t come cheap), scan a ton of wormholes, and make a even bigger amount of isks. We may also lose isks (SRP tho), but such is life in a space with strong contenders. If you do not enjoy the thrill of wormhole brawls, the careful planning of large operations and intel gathering, or are overly risk adverse with your ISK, you may not find joining Hard Knocks to be in your best interest.
What can we offer you?
- Active TS3 voice comms across all timezones
- Discord based OOG social comms
- Various PvP activities with experienced FCs and Directors
- Experienced leadership team with near and far-future operations for rad content
- Full SRP for doctrines during FC / Director planned fleets and operations, also for learning FC doctrine fleets !
- The opportunity to fly with one of the most well-known and successful wormhole PvP corporations in Eve.
Basic Requirements:
Do you have at least 1000 kills on your main? 
At a minimum, your main must be able to fly the following ships:
- Armor: Legion, Leshak, Ikitursa or Guardian (Logi Cruiser V is an absolute must)
- Shield: Nighthawk (T2 HAMs), Vulture (T2 Rails), Sleipnir (T2 Arty) (Command Ships IV+) or Basilisk / Scimitar (Logi Cruiser V, again, a must)
We also expect you to have an ALT which can fly covert ops or scanning T3 cruisers with scanning supports.
Preference is given to applicants who can multi-box and field a dictor ALT (i.e. main, scanner and dictor on 3 different accounts).
(If you feel like you can make up for deficiencies in any of the above requirements and still wish to apply, then please discuss this further with a recruiter)
Additional Requirements:
-
WH knowledge - you do not need to be a master but you must know the basics, do some research.
→ Dank content comes from good understanding of your environment. Be willing to understand how stuff works. Comprehend the meta, gather the intel, check hostile activity, be a step ahead. -
Solid understanding of game mechanics, along with a willingness to learn.
→ Yes, you may be hot stuff in your previous nullbloc corp / insert lowsec FW corp here, how cool ! However, living in high-class wormhole space is another whole thing on itself. Put your ego back in the drawer and be willing to learn and grow, as the competent player that you claim to be. -
Familiarity with scanning.
→ If you do not scan at all, you won’t spend a long time around here. People that scan for content are, and will always be looked upon as content creators, and those may get the spoils of raids upon enemy lands. -
Ability to listen, comprehend and speak English proficiently over TS3 with a non-garbage microphone.
→ We strongly disallow anything but push-to-talk. Get over it. -
You must be self-sufficient with ISK. We do not run any organized form of PvE content as a corp (or nothing really substantial).
→ We have veteran members willing to share their knowledge of cash-making; if you follow their teachings, you shall be making phat stacks in no time. -
Be a mature individual.
→ Try to socialize with individuals around you, learn to read the room, have an adult and matured behavior. Friendly banter is fine, but targeted remarks are disapproved unless it’s actual constructive criticism. Understand that people may be playing Eve after their day at work, and just want to be part of a positive environment where there is little to no acceptance for disrespectful behavior. Spread the positive and mature vibe of our corporation to outsiders, and the corporation will have your back. -
Be active !
→ Real-life always comes first as Eve is first and foremost a videogame, but content comes in because of involved players and those get rewarded for their efforts.
