Corporation is to avoid Starter Corp taxes. Why let 11% of your money disappear to some faction?
Join or don't join, it's not important. I'm just looking for fellow new players to experience/learn the game with. Right now I'm trying missions and checking out different ships. If you are like me and don't want to get stuck flying solo, or joining a corporation with 10 year veterans who find what you want to do boring, then send me a convo and I'll come join in whatever you are running.
I'm also training into logistics, so if you are a starting the next tier of missions and having trouble I can come keep you alive.
