Hi Kobalt,
Welcome to EVE - it’s big, it’s confusing and it’s fun!
Corporation 1 are a small group of returning veterans and new players who are building a fun, real life first, corporation. We do a bit of everything in game so will be able to answer questions, give help and advice etc - we’re all friendly 
We do a fair bit of mining as a group, and most of us do some exploring and PvE on the side.
Have a read of the thread below and see if it floats your boat. I’ll message you in game as well later.
Fly safe
