[EVE] Combined Technologies and Research

[Morganti]

CoTRe ticker (get it? coterie?)

Announcing the new multiboxing corporation on the block, Combined Technologies and Research. The corp is being built for the primary purpose of not only grouping together multiboxers, but advancing multiboxing in the game to the highest levels of play. The secondary purpose of the corp is to unite under one flag and reach out deep into the stars into what we hope becomes a profitable excursion into wormhole space or barring that, nosec space. This corp is in no way intended as a slight to any existing multiboxer corps (and indeed my old corp that had 3 boxers in it is being dismantled as we speak for the move into this new united corporation).

Some of our short term goals include:

Boxer Extravaganza! - frigate fleets with T1 modules controlled by boxers clash in a battle of winner takes the title "Boxer Lord"! A learning setting where we can share tactics and ideas that allow the boxer to thrive in a world where you are either quick or dead. Optimize boxing in eve pvp instead of optimizing boxing in eve mining!

Large Scale Mining Operations - the price of trit is great right now! Join your fellow boxers and turning an asteroid belt into a no man's land and make some money while you do it.

Wormhole Prep - never been in a wormhole? Follow a prober in and see what a wormhole existence will actually look like. Wormholes are being scouted on a daily basis, and while many are empty during scouting times others are quite active with folks who'd love to kill you. Be warned...here there be dragons.

Bring Your Own Op - Got something you want to do that others in the corp might find fun or profitable? Form an op up and go for it! Future plans for wormhole living will actually reward Operation Commanders for their leadership by granting them a bonus based on the operation's isk total. Current mining ops in hi-sec will do the same (speak to Morganti for a duty explanation of Op Commanders before jetting off though!).


The corp is currently running with only a 5% tax (half that of newbie corporations) in an attempt to build up capital for POS's and fuel, and this fund will also be part of supplying cheap ships and modules for Boxer Extravaganza. Solo players are welcome, but be aware the corp is focused on boxing and improving boxing in general, so solo players while having a part to play would not be able to fight in Boxer-Ex.

Thanks for your time, and see you in the void.

Interesting. Do we need two multiboxing corps?

[Morganti]

Multiple people had corps with high faction standings that they didn't want to part with, so in an effort to be fair to all a few of us just said why not start fresh.

Also, I'm not sure this is the multiboxing corp, it's more like the multiboxing wormhole or whatever adventure corp.

This corp sounds nice, it has multiple directions. I would feel bad joining it because I was going to join Robin's.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

You have multiple alts, right? These two corps aren't mutually exclusive.

Well, truth be told, the 'offical' multiboxing corp isn't doing so well so I'd be willing to take it down or alter it's purpose - what do people think? Having two corps, even if they're for different purposes, does dilute things a bit and Morganti is much more enthusiastic than I am so I'm not going to feel slighted or upset to take down Cybernetic Legion.

Don't do it! not after i've finally gotten in a corp that doesn't get war decked which means i don't get pvp'd into oblivion

[RobinGBrown]

I've thought of a compromise solution that should make Cybernetic Legion a bit more useful - provided people think it's a good idea.

Cybernetic Legion can be used for external support operations to CTR. e.g. For ice miners and PI specialists who want to supply CTR with POS fuel and other goodies but don't want to risk venturing into w-space, which is a risky place. For freighters and industrials who do supply runs, researchers, etc, etc. It would also reduce the number of people under threat if CTR was wardecced by someone wanting to take over the wormhole.

It could also be used to trade back and forth and as a home for chars who want to participate but not as part of CTR. As part of this I think that launching a POS (or several) for Cybernetic Legion is going to be pretty useful. Right now the corp does not have the standings to do that so we'd have to work out a way to get it done. Having some high standing members join for a week would do the job or getting Dr Sirius' standing boosted via mission running fleeting would work as well.

We can fire up an alliance if desired and people can join their corps if they want to - there's quite a cost associated with this but it would make operating together somewhat easier. Dr Sirius has the skills trained to form an alliance.

Thoughts?

Scondly, sorry for getting this thread rather off topic, on the original topic what sorts and numbers of pilots/skills are desired? Any idea of how many toons will be necessary and how many will be too much?

[Redbeard]

I'll join and contribute taxes or whatever if you guys want... not looking to do any WH stuff really but am willing to support the MB cause.

If we get decced I will be leaving though.

Just throwing it out there.
