Did you know that corporations are not searchable by name?

If you know the exact shell corporation you wish the alt to join.... well I'm not sure exactly how you submit your application short of going to the station itself.

This game has been around, for what, nine years?

And the people currently doing the programming have yet to manage to put in a "search corporations by name" feature in the in-game recruitment tool.

So what I want to know is, when did you purge the original designers?

There is no way certain parts of this game could have been designed by people who are unable to put a "search by name" feature in their in game corporation joining tool.

So really, what was the excuse to get rid of him/them?

This is neither interesting, nor is it a discovery.

Greetings capsuleer,

More falsehoods from you? I am disappointed.

To search for a corporation ensure your Neocom is visible. Navigate to People and Places (Alt-E); where you would normally search from.

Drop down Search Type and navigate to Corporation, the third option.

In Search String, type the full or partial name of the corporation. There is no need to use wildcard characters.

This will return, if there are matching corporations, a list from which you can use Show Info. From the Show Info window you can use the Apply to Join button to submit an application.

Regards,

Shian Yang

So rather than ask "how" you decide it's not there. I am sure many corp recruiters are racing to the mail.


P.S. Some of your other posts are cute as well.

If you wish to join the goons, please spell their name correctly in the search field.


It makes it much easier to find them... or you could just go mining.
