only played the 14 week trial and never got enough for a plex pass.
PLEXing in 14 days with trial account limitation is probably unrealistic. Even activating, paying for a month and then PLEXing for your second month is probably unrealistic. After three months maybe, but you probably won't be enjoying your playtime very much because you'll be spending all of it making ISK to pay for your account rather than playing to play.
is a Boom & Zoom ship (Go fast in, launch alpha-strike, GTFO) feasible/practical?
It's difficult to answer this with a yes or no. Yes, it's possible to...for example...fit a microwarp drive on a slow-firing ship, or sit beyond the minimum warp distance and then warp to a target...then fire a volley and warp out. But I think you generally
wouldn't do this because there are very few instances in which it would especially effective. Eve combat is generally a bit slow paced. It's more about meta-game preparation and fleet doctrine than it is about "snazzy fighter piloting."
So, yes. Feasible. But rarely practical. Mostly because you're going to have a difficult time killing anything in a single volley. Now, if by "launch alpha strike" you mean sit somewhere with several buddies in fast frigates, quickly warp to an opposing fleet, spend 20 seconds focusing fire to take out a single ship then warping out before you sustain any losses yourselves...that's
completely a feasible, practical, viable thing you could possibly find yourself doing in Eve.
Can I get some info on the corp? I'm in Minmatar space, but I'd be up for moving all my stuff to where the majority of you guys are based if it means I can get in on some mining ops and mission running.
I'm not currently active, but from previous posts it sounds like they're based in Ordion, which is in Amarr space, Kor-Azor region. Same place as the last time we had a bay12 corp I think roughly a year ago. Local market is awful and I remember it being overmined, but there's a conveniently close matched pair of agents if you don't mind low value LP tradeins, and it's only a couple hops from a relatively low-danger region of lowsec . It's not a bad place, if you're looking for mission running and good company, but overall I'd say it's a mildly dull part of the galaxy. Which, as a new player...might be something you specifically want.
