since when did being in an in game corporation become a requirement for that game mode??
Being in a corp is required only for Sector Conquest. You probably queued in the wrong queue.
i don’t know why i typed the wrong game mode in the question and topic title. i guess i wasnt thinking.
BTW has that always been a requirement for sector conquest??
Yep. There wouldn’t be any logic otherwise, given how the system works. When you do Sec Con, you gain points for the Corp. With the points you take territories. If you don’t have a corp, where would the points go?

Sector conquest is a fancy name for the typical clan wars in other games. As such, you need a corporation to fight in there.
Take in mind you don’t need to be in a squad. You can just join a random or small corp and fight in SQ alone all the time.
Just note that you will face veterans in squad with top tier and top fit ships. It is top end content, so you better are prepared for that!
