u"Hi hi,

We\u2019re Echos of Starla, a small but (hopefully) growing corporation currently made up of myself, Tanya Spade, and Alo McEpic. We\u2019ve been back in New Eden for about six weeks now (as of writing this) after a long break, and we\u2019re slowly finding our footing again in the chaos and beauty of the cluster.

We are recruiting, and we\u2019re hoping to find a few others who enjoy the same sort of casual, inclusive, self-directed gameplay we do. We\u2019re also open to joining a like-minded corporation or alliance, especially one focused on PvE and industry. If you\u2019re active during AU time zones, even better (though that\u2019s certainly not essential).

Now, we\u2019re not a PvP group. Not even a little. If someone shoots at us, we usually run, and if there\u2019s no escape, we shoot back (usually badly). Alo has more combat experience than I do, but neither of us is really looking for trouble these days. We\u2019re more interested in the quieter side of EVE, I guess.

So, what do we do?

Well, we spend a fair amount of time mining. Not so much in high-sec belts, but more often in ore anomalies in high- and low-sec. They\u2019ve got more risk, better rewards, and honestly, they\u2019re just more fun. We\u2019ve also been dipping into gas harvesting in wormhole space. It can be exciting... or fall-asleep-at-the-keyboard boring. It really just depends.

We enjoy missions, mostly Level 4 combat ones together. We also run the occasional mining or distribution mission solo, when the mood strikes.

Exploration is something we both enjoy. We scan down sites, share bookmarks, and chase escalations when they pop up. We even triggered a Deepflow Rift surge recently, just to see what would happen. I like clearing combat sites and will drag Alo along if there\u2019s an escalation that's popped up.

We\u2019ve also been dipping our toes into manufacturing and planetary industry. We\u2019re starting small\u2014building what we can and experimenting with different planet setups. We plan to use the resources we gather ourselves instead of dumping them all on the market (though honestly, selling stuff isn\u2019t the worst outcome either).

As for future goals, well, we\u2019ve tried a couple of Homefront Operations, and while they\u2019re tough as a duo, we think just one or two more pilots could make all the difference. Abyssal Deadspace and Burner missions are on the to-do list too. We\u2019re not in a rush; we just like having things to aim for. Incursions sound like they could be a lot of fun as well, though that\u2019s more of a longer-term goal, and very dependent on the fleet you\u2019re flying with. We\u2019ll see.

We like figuring things out for ourselves instead of just reading guides or following the meta. We\u2019d usually rather try and fail on our own than blindly inherit someone else\u2019s setup. That said, we\u2019re of course absolutely open to teaming up with the right group, we just want to feel like we\u2019re adding something to whatever fleet, corporation or alliance we join, and not just filling a seat.

So if you've read this far, well done! And if this sounds like your kind of pace, you\u2019re more than welcome to reach out for a chat. No pressure. We\u2019re not in a hurry, we\u2019re just hoping to find a few folks who value the same kind of quiet fun and shared goals that we do.

Thanks for reading. Fly safe, and maybe we\u2019ll see you out there.

\u2014 Tanya & Alo
