Welcome.
There are 2 types of Corporations in the world of Star Conflict. Zerg and Elite. Zerg corporations focus on pure member count and lack competitive play because of those types of corps being in low tiers (T1-3) while Elite corps focus manly on (T3-5). Depending on your stats, you would most likely be part of the first mentioned corporation type.
Also, please post a screen shot of your stats, timezone as they can add vitial information to those corps that want to invite you.

For the uninitiated, this is the typical point of view of an ace SCon pilot.
They are the Elites … then there is everyone else.
Apparently to them pilots from average, casual clubs, beginners academy, friends only corporations are like beacon drones. We are there for them to complete contracts.
That shiny golden GM badge in his sig? That’s a forum reminder for you maggots that what he says is true.

In case you green nosed scum didn’t get it yet, that was no typo.
I referred to JP as an ace pilot. this meant as a complement in Kine’s world.
I been praised by Kine…*Sobs* I’m so happy.

And in your post you sound very-very Elitish
There are more than 2 types of corporations, and not every “not so pro” corporation is a Zerg corporation.

u mean lampshadius and his “academy”? Almost everyone in his corp has played more PvE battles than PvP
Should I have said “Causal” and “Hardcore?” Same thing in a sense. But regardless, each corp has there strength and weakness.

Well at least Lampshadius and his “Corp” and or Corps like his provide an avenue for interaction in ''Team " environment that may not be available in the early stages to those not able to meet the requirements of some of the “other” corps.
I wasn’t being sarcastic. But didn’t want to sound like im non-hetero for his sweetroll either which we all secretly might be.
either way … there are more than just 2 types of corporations out there. i found it amusing that stereotypes can exist in an online game especially this one. ace pilot vs the world thang.
there are starter corps
there are friend corps
there’s thematic corps (there used to be atleast)
I remember a kickass academy corp once called the Steel Marauders
Lampashadia is a beginners corporation
I dunno what the deal is with Lamp and the rest of this community but I picked them to join for 2 main reasons:
bulk of their membership was T1 and T2, same tier ships that I needed to synergize for fleet strength; a feature that did not exist prior to my break away from SCon
they ranked rather high on PVE which I had alot to learn about considering I have T5 ships waiting to be unlocked and needed to play catch up with the rest of the server being away for 6 months.
With over 3,000 PVP battles but less than 50 PVE i thought the move made sense.
Beginner academies are important. Newbies have alot to learn but the best people to teach them won’t consider taking them on in their elite corps. Academies fill that niche. These corporations prolong retention rate and can help make more people stay in the game during the crucial first impression phase. Lamp even kept records to find out the demographics of who stays on and who quits SCon and how soon before that happens. As it turns out, people who buys atleast one DLC stays with the game for a minimum 2 months so he actively promotes Star Conflict products to beginners in an attempt to maintain their activity with the game for longer. Now - to me that is a big deal.
Even more so when you consider few if any of the elites contribute in the same way.
The international community Aces may not be killing the game as hardcore as ESB is killing the T5 queues
But you aint doing much to help it grow either. To top it off you give little to no support to those who are doing positive things for the game.
Yet here you are Game Masters of Star Conflict. But the people who could use your help the most do not find yourselves as the most approachable personalities.
I make it a point to welcome new people who put in the effort to introduce themselves on this forum. Not because I secretly wish for a moderator status but because I’m tired of seeing the same old names actively posting. Even after coming back from a 6 months hiatus, it is still the same old names. If by the small gesture of saying hello back to someone with a 1 post count could get him to come back here again, I would feel I have contributed positively in someway. (No offence to the old timers I missed you guys for sure)
You may not be killing the game. But I see little effort being done in helping it grow outside of keeping top tier populated and giving technical feedback.

you make a fair point kine. But i cant take lamp seriously, he knows theory, but his practical skills suck.
I certainly and most definitely agree with you Kine, Lamp have their purpose in this game. Promoting the game and helping out new player in the game is crucial to help grow a player base and keep them playing it if we want to play it in the next year. I remember when I first started playing this game, I had so many questions and no one to answer them. If some one like Lamp would have been there at that time, I would probably have joined them.
Even if I think that Lamp guy isnt always right when hes talking about the game, I have alot of respect for what is doing to help new player.
Hats off for Kine. Productive post man. :good:
Just look for a corp which has the most numbers in your main time zone. At the start you just need people to play with, and even in the so called “zerg” corps, there are a lot of good players to learn from.
Today, most players in the so called “elite” corps, only do DSR farming in the same ships (gunships, cov ops and tackers) so I don’t think most of them have to be proud of it…
And anyway, just ask people to fly with them. Most dudes here are playing alone and will like to share the fun with another random player, either in PvE or PvP.

Used to always see Lamp around on the global chat (now I don’t because I don’t leave the chat window open in hanger). Theory is enough for the new players he’s helping.

Completely agree, having been there done that in a different game. A close friend of mine was the clan leader of a zerg clan, and he was a prominent figure in the game because our clan took in new players and trained them well. (After all, numbers mean nothing if your members don’t know what to do.)
Everyone loves to be part of the elite, but someone has to run the elementary school, and run it well.
Lamp should have been paid for his helpful copy & paste chat work, he alone is probably responsible for a number of players staying in the game instead of uninstalling immediately out of frustration.
It’s not that why he’s not taken seriously, it’s because he was a pure PVE player yet insisted on giving PVP tipps that were contradicting what established PVPers were trying to convey in the same chat. So despite all the good he does, due to his prominence in chat Lamp probably created a generation of bad PVP pilots on top (and from what I hear he now joined them). ,)

So, your saying anyone with the (LAMP) Tag is an easy target in PVP?
I don’t think so. He was often corrected and was always open to correct his own knowledge.
And there are numerous “experts” who talk smack a lot, but ultimately only want to write everybody how well they play.
Lamp made himself vulnerable because he was open and friendly. I liked his idea of creating an Academy Corp. And they are doing fine.
It is a funny thing how this community always talks out stuff in the weirdest places. 
NOTE: The OP has found a Corp.
This thread should be closed.

No. Lamp is playing PVP these days so I would assume he has now acquired the experience to back up what he is saying. Also I don’t remember meeting a LAMP squad in battle so I cannot make statements as to their battle prowess. I know Kine is a good player.
