Since the introduction of corporation owned customs offices I've wondered about why the POCO's don't have a sort of corporation hangar, so here's my idea:

-Add a corporation hangar to the finished POCO's.
-Around 3x times the size of a player hangar at the CO (I would say 100k m3).
-Only people with the respective role can take the products out OR move them to their personal hangars to import them.
-Only planetary products can be placed in this corporate hangar.
-The movement from import/export from/to Corp hangar would be taxed with the same % as if it was a personal movement.



This will help small corporations the most, specially the ones focused on a single system or two, allowing easier movement of products between members.

It makes sense to have some kind of separate space for the corporation now, since they are the ones installing the customs office.

I would love any kind of feedback, ideas or balance addresses.

Note: I'm not English speaker, so I hope I didn't make too many grammar mistakes

I think this is a great idea, we run 2 Wh's and do all of our corp PI with in them, giving is a corp hanger would mean we can stockpile PI and take what we need as we need it instead of everyone making it and shipping it all directly to the POS. +1 from me for this idea. Big smile

This would certainly help the WH's corps, along with a few low sec corps, I really appreciate your feedback. Ever since the release of POCO's I've felt that small corps are the most hindered, and this would be a nice step towards actually helping them.

something may have to be done to make it so you don't have access to 70k m3 of space however
35k personal + 35k corp

it seems having so much storage may make PI -too- easy

You are right, i can see it being abused somehow, maybe around 50k for the corp hangar would be wiser, still I don't think many people would want to keep their products on hold there for too long, with the risk of them being taken down by a bored gang.

This corporate hangar would be exclusively for the use in WH / Low / Null and only after the corporation plants a CO of their own.

Awesome idea. Can't really be abused either. Who would leave ALL their PI in an undefended CO?

I approve of this product and/or service.

It makes a lot of sense, and it doesn't seem like it can really be abused if it is still limited to only PI products just like the personal hangars, so 100k m3 doesn't seem too farfetched for something with corporation-wide utility.

The only downside that I see, and thus possible reason why CCP may consider not implementing it, is that it lessens the actual player interaction with the PCO. You will no longer have to go there and retrieve materials yourself to share them with others who use the same planet. You can export to the PCO corp hangar, and then your corpmate can import it right away.

But, this is only truly useful for single-planet PI products, and thus it is alread of limited use. I think that the benefits and usefulness greatly outweigh this. Do want!

Added restriction to what can be placed in the hangar and stayed with the 100k m3 idea.

This just results in large scale operations paying less taxes and/or needing less flying around to collect and distribute goods.

both of those things result in less drama... which is bad for eveonline.

In wormholes you don't wag your ass in the wind very much as it is..... Why would CCP make an inherently safe activity even safer?

Thumbs down!

If they are owned by corps then i would think they already have 0% for themselves, so they don't pay any tax already. If they do pay taxes, the movement would still be taxed, this is not a measure to work around taxes, it's to centralize operations within small corps an/or people actively working together to achieve fuels or P4's.

It's not making the extraction any safer, just more centralized, besides, I'd like to see an Orca over a Viator to extract the PI, they would be way easier preys, don't they? If people still use the same ships for extraction then they will need to do the same amounts of trips.

Thanks for your feedback, i like both sides of this :)
