Selecting the right corp to harrass

In my previously post i mentioned that I am in the market to war dec a corp, and also what kind of corp I want to fight. By war deccing another corp I am looking to recreate a happy time in my eve life when i was learning to PvP with a newly created pirate alt, thus creating an interest to play eve again. What I do not want to do however, is remake a new character to cover the same routine as last time.

So to get the same feeling from a war dec with my main character, i need to look at my pirate’s war and find out what parts of the war made it fun, which was mainly the challenge, and the amount of targets we had.

Challenge
I believe that the fact it was a challenge for my corp mates and me to attack a corp was a major factor in our enjoyment. We were heavily outnumbered, and the target corp had more equipment to play with, as well as more skill points as we were using 1 week old toons.

The challenge of taking on this bigger entity was not impossible however, from the little pvp experience we had, we knew that our knowledge far outmatched theirs in the ways of PvP, which in turn made us smugly confident in our ability to kick the ass of these guys within a month when we unlock ruptures.

More Numbers = More Targets

The size of this corp insured that we rarely logged on without any targets to hunt down. also their willingness to fight was more than i was expecting.

I have shortlisted a few corps, and right now i have given up on the idea of war deccing a corp. there was loads for me to choose from, the problem was i needed a target to fight back, or at least not swarm us to the point we are station sitting.

All the targets i found were either at war already with 2-4 other corps, so i scratched them off my list as i figured what is the odds of them fighting with another war. there was another few promising targets, but i also had to scrap them as they were all wormhole based or nullsec based. i don't expect my corp to have the manpower and equipment available to traverse nullsec realistically, and i do not got the time to play hide and seek in wormholes.
