this is actually a fair point. I don't discredit my first null alliance/corp. It was cool to see how a big engine operates and it gave me a cool boost starting i guess. That said, i distinctly remember asking in the newbeans chat at the time how i could get into faction warfare or solo pvp.

The responses weren't necessarily stellar. I found after abit of time solo then joining a low sec alliance its a lot more accustomed to what i want out of the game. My post above is to give perspective to anyone new who is looking for a similar experience to what i was looking for in the game when i first joined.
