EVE General Discussion

Although im sure this is something that has been brought up before I would like to bring it back light.

Now we all know or should know by now that their are multiple types of theft within the cold harsh reality of eve and that the greatest of these usually amount to corp or alliance thefts.

Im proposing that a feature be implemented within gameplay regarding the withdrawl of items from Corporate Hangers within stations, Possibly even pos hanger arrays.

Within eve online you fight for what's yours and are held accountable for all actions you take, In other words depending on your actions you may reap a reward or incur a penalty or both for that matter. Within corporate theft this represents a problem however since whenever such a theft occurs there is no known method to track down the offender unless the amount of pilots within a group are small enough to begin process elimination of those with hanger access.

Simarily to how an investigation works in the real world. When a crime is commited the criminal is tracked down with the use of evidence to lead the way.

The idea is to introduce a mechanic that will allow CEO's and Directors the means to track down corp thieves that doesn't currently exist. Given that in any fairly large organization anyone with the right permissions can simply take valuables from any hanger they have been given access to and simply hide amongst those who also have access to said hanger divisions so as to not be caught.

I know that there will be many people who will disagree with this and say that you should have only given access rights to those you trust. There is a flaw in that core principle though, since any non private corporation can be infiltrated with enough effort only to obtain the respect and trust needed to wipe them out from within. Besides that there could be another matter of betrayel if say one of your directors goes rouge after being tempted to do so from an outside source. Within gameplay there simply is no way to counter corporate theft and it should not be counterable as you never know who might turn on you.

I am in no way suggesting that a way be made for Corp thefts to become preventable. I am simply asking for a way to find out who did it so that countless CEO's do not have to strip everyone except for directors and those trusted most of their access rights and possibly interogate them whether innocent or not.

If this funtion is to be be placed within gameplay it would be ideal to follow these set of guidelines.

- Within the corporate interface under the assets tab there should be a button of some sort called "Hanger Logs" or whatever ccp wishes to call it. (THIS IS NOT applicable towards ships with built in corporate hanger bays.)

- When this button is clicked it will bring up a list of current aswell as former corporate members (Picture ID can be included) that have taken anything from the corporate hanger within the past 30 days.

- After clicking on a member or former member a list of individual logs shown by date will display under them detailing what they took, what division they took it from, which station this happened at and at what time the items were taken.

- Each individual log under a characters name will expire and auto delete after 30 days from time of creation to prevent uneccessary buildups.

-Former corporate members within this list will only expire upon the auto removal of their last known log entry. This also applies to current members, If a member has not taken anything from corp hangers after their last auto log removal they will not show up on this list.

-Once your thief is found provided if he/she is still within the ranks of your corp then kick at will, If they have already left your corp and you have reason to believe they are the thief then the logs will further prove this, It is up to you to decide what to do next.

There is nothing worst than a corporation that can't trust its members leading to simple chaos and besides this will prevent offending thieves from escaping risk free, if you steal from your corp you should not be entitled to walking away withought being discovered.

This does exactly what you asked for. Why don't you research stuff like this before you post about it?
