Right so idea is simple, introduce new skills that is trained no by players alone but by whole corporation(skills is injected by the CEO or Directors and can looked at by opening corporation window) , training time is reduced by the count of players in the corporation same thing could by applied to the alliance but time reduced by the count of corporations in the alliance. Skills would give u some extra boost
( up to 5% to in corporation and additional 3% in the alliance if they are trained up to lvl 5) beside your skills in Industry missions pvp and etc. What its gonna give to the eve universe stronger bond between the player and corporation or alliance, less one man corporations. I dont know if this idea been posted before, so just tell what u think.

P.S. Sory for my Ingles Pirate

I think there is something similar in WoW.

Nice idea although it penalises small corps for being small.

Indeed. Small corps are already penalised for being small by the very nature of having less people.

Not everyone wants to be in big corps. I agree that being in a one man corp is almost pointless but that doesn't mean that everyone has to be in a corp with hundreds of players in it. A lot of people prefer to be in corps of 50 or less players.

Really, if you want to keep it balanced the time taken to learn the corp skills should be inversely proportional to the number of people in the corp. This won't work though as that means a one person corp would get all the corp skills really fast in comparison to the large corps, something which I'm sure you'll agree is unfair.

Almost as unfair as the large corps getting the skills faster than the smll corps. Almost, but not quite.

How about the time taken to learn the skills is based on time and not based on membership at all. That levels the playing field and makes it a lot more fair. It is, after all, how the current character skills work so it fits the model.

The only thing is, how does a non-intelligent entity such as a corporation gain "skills"?

By that argument, no, it isn't a good idea.

Currently there are corp skills which are gained and owned by the CEO.

Perhaps if you called them "Perks" instead of skills it might be better in order to distinguish between skills (inate, learned abilities of intelligent beings) and Corp benefits. Maybe these "Perks" could add convenience to corp-related activites like fleet-wide cloning after a wipe.

EDIT: Actually, that wouldn't work in EvE as entire fleets rarely wipe. It might work in WoW though.

So TLDR, you want the bigger corporations/alliances to get even more bonuses. Shocked

And to add insult to injury your idea has made me 'like' a post by a goon....

Why? What possible reason other than just to troll do you have to push for the larger corps having even more advantage over the smaller corps? Especially considering you're in a small corp.

I have no concerns regarding CCP adopting this idea because a) it goes against their policy of trying to get more people and more small corps out to nullsec and b) it just plain sucks as can be seen from the replies to your post.

Therefore I can only come to one of two conclusions:

1) you're a troll

or

2) you're a fool

A neat idea, but I don't see any need to couple it so intrinsically to corporation size. Why not just give the Corporate branch more interesting skills that the CEO can train? Even a small corp can be well-managed.
