I've read this thread, although not exactly because of the title. Smile Thread cleaned of offtopic posts; please keep it civil. I agree that the corporation management system could use some love (putting it mildly) and would be happy to hear your ideas and suggestions and pass them along to the dev team.


Thanks for the response.

As many have stated in this thread (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=735701#post735701), you cannot please everyone. It’s hard enough trying to keep 50 pilots happy, CCP have to deal with some 500,000 pilots to keep happy. The sooner that you can resign yourself to the fact that you cannot make everyone happy, the easier it is to do your job. Atleast this is my point of view. Whatever you do, someone well be affected negatively and will likely get their back up over it. It is a critical balance of being a good leader by making logical, informed decisions, and being a total douche by trying to dictate to your members how they should be playing the game. Dictatorship is bad mmkay.

Onto my suggestions.

Every corporation is different so once again, whatever system is implemented is not necessarily going to work for everyone …. Which is why they should have the option of choosing to use it or use their own besoke/taylor made systems. This will not work for all elements of EVE for obvious reasons, but something like corporation management, I think it could work well!

One thing I must stress is that EVE members hate having stuff forced onto them. If any of these ideas do get implemented, I would propose you have it in a modular system. A simple check box in corporation management that the CEO can control. If he wants one of these systems enabled for his corp, he has control to enable/disable it.

Let’s take a look at some of the more common systems that a corporation will most likely use/require. I will expand on each point and try to keep it short and sweet.

• Website/Forums (API Enabled Authentication)
• Killboard (Specific to PVP perhaps?)
• Ship Replacement Program (Specific to PVP perhaps?)
• Recruitment Form (often including API fields)
• Leadership Team Diagram/Chart
• Member Management
• Private Communication Channels/Mailing Lists
• Voice Comms
• Corp/Alliance only market

Breakdown of each of the mentioned items found in the thread linked below. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=776770

Good god, PLEASE! Yes! A big resounding yes! I've been a serial entrepreneur in EVE and have started many corporations since I started playing back in 2005, many of which recruited exclusively new players. The easier we can make things on CEOs, and the more smoothly we can get corporations to run, and the sooner we can get new players into good, smoothly running corporations that have CEOs that aren't suffering from severe burnout, the better EVE will be.

This, more than anything, is what EVE needs. Powah to the people!

I like the idea of giving more features and optimizing current ones.

+1 also the forum rules clearly state bumps can only be made by the original poster. No exception.

Shocked I had no idea. Still can't find that rule. I guess this makes me a rebel? Worth being a rebel to support a good idea, though. Pirate
