run your first set with 16 commie/theo indies and don't dare touch any other clan if you are self farming. If you are not self farming no stupid top feeds on people that know a fluff ton more about this game then you.

I suggest joining a netting tag and getting to know people, then next set run your own clan if you still want to and you can get pacted with 80% of the established alliances and only have to worry about suiciders(we ALL have to worry about suiciders)

Also ESD offers uNAPs to ANY one man taggeds. un-breakable Non Agression Pact.
