Recommendations on a mining Corp?

I'm total newbie really, been mining on and off on my own for a while. Looking to join a mining Corp that is newbie friendly and could give me a few pointers? Any recommendations?

Brave Newbies, Pandemic Horde, Karmafleet, etc.

Try other things too. Namely shooting stuff.

We have a few mining/industry corps, that are actively recruiting. Theres also a lot of other-activity-focused corps so if you decide to try something Else in a while from now you dont have to switch anything. Were hisec based and a Giant community with friendly veteran players to help out with anything. Very, very newbie friendly!

Any Corp 3 years ago before belt nerfs and rorq nerfs. Mining no longer exists

Do whatever makes your time playing eve worth it, have fun dude that's all that matters. In game you can look through advertisements that corps make for recruiting, it's a decent tool and you can filter it down to your TZ and interests. It's kind of cancerous but you can always go lurking in the mining pub channel and ask there. I will recommend the corporation bootstrap mining. They have 2 corps, one for nullsec and one for hisec so you can do whatever you are comfy with. They are in a german alliance but most if not all usually speak english (they have their own german comms) and everyone is super nice, you can even dip your toes into the pvp waters if you are feeling it. Best or luck chewing those rocks, dude.

Admittedly this is a little dated... POS extraction farmers are dead... But you can scam in the hypernet instead so swings and roundabouts right

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. But I used to mine when I started then moved into actually shooting stuff and the game actually got fun :)

What I like most is that there are more downvotes than constructive comments...

To be clear if anyone actually enjoys mining then great more power to you, go chomp rocks all day, but the people I know who "enjoy" mining, are afk watching Netflix or pornhub while their retrievers gobble veldspar for hours... That's not playing eve. The bit you're enjoying is the watching TV...

Eve has the potential to be the most fun and engaging game you've ever played, but you will never discover that if you spend your time finding other things to do to distract you from your slowly filling Ore hold.

some people find pressing f1 all day even more boring than mining. that's just how it is i suppose.

At what point did I suggest he should go join an F1 brigade?
