There is many systems in EVE which is so called "dead end's", and got a
empire high sec choke point. Which make them not very intereting for
pvp'ers. Can mine the mid level ore in peace in such systems, if mining is
your thing. Or you can hunt for a bit harder NPC's without have some dude
come along and interfer by blow you up Wink

There is no big deal fight someone superior to you in weapons, ships and
skills as long as you know his ship type. Its nothing better than to
humiliate some big mofo pvp'er by slap him with EW and disable his guns
making him not able to lock you. Then run in circles around him and do pot
shoots with a pea shooter. Of course he tank your damage most likely, but
fun still.

So does your Corp have 3 people hassle you then? And if you are just 5
people even friends, I suggest you try join a new bigger corp all together.
More people to interact with, the more fun. Also join a corp which got more
people from the same time zone as your own.

that's another thing: there's no index of corporations and active
members. disregarding the immature reply about "exploits and griefing"
i'd like to point out the simple fact that there is no ability to find
out anything about prospective corporations that doesn't involve trying
to sort through the massive spam recruiting campaigns of
over-caffeinated teenagers.
