Please, Baby Jesus Santa, all I want for Christmas is to have the corp management system design not be byzantine.

I like the corporation management interface as it is, and am very happy with everything it does.

Everything about the above statement is a lie.

It's horrible, and needs to go. Providing two buttons (0 and 1) with which you need to create SQL queries in ASCII, by hitting the exact right sequence, with no reset button or undo, would be better than the current system.

Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be fixed for this Christmas, at least...

Roles as well, please. It's beyond unacceptable that giving someone roles to research a blueprint in a POS also gives them total omniscience over all industrial activities everywhere, by anyone using corp assets, and the ability to cancel any of those jobs.

Combat corps have very few problems recruiting new players, because a well-set up role system limits their damage. The same cannot be said for industrial corps.

The corp management system is an angry God's punishment of this world of sinners. Deliver us from our torment!

the current roles management system and larger corporation interface is terrible. roles are the biggest problem, how they interact with starbases (another dead horse that needs fixing) in ways that defy logic make using them utterly painful. what i want is to be able to assign specific permissions to people in such a way that for example:

they may look at hangar a in station a but not hangar a in station b, or be able to take from hangar a in station a but not hangar a in starbase b.

that is currently impossible as far as i know. it needs to be more fluid, better documented in how it actually functions, less binary in what permissions are granted with each set of rights (being able to fuel a tower also permits offlining/onlining a tower, apparently? wtf?) and overall easier to use from the ground up.

Can you still do it that way when stations C, D, E and F enter into things?

You heard it here first, more trees!

The CREST idea is good, especially because it will allow CEOs and directors to do that work out-of-client, but what if CCP doesn't try to cram corporate management all into one UI?

Create a Corporation category under the EVE menu and populate it with as many discrete tools as necessary to make everything clear and accessible. Corps (and alliances) are a major feature of EVE; there's no reason to try to stuff them into a single, cluttered window.

Then, make the various tools available by right-clicking on e.g., titles in corp members' show info panes. Add a "character summary" window that consolidates all the corp information for a player into one window, and allow simple changes (add/subtract roles, medals, wallet and hangar access, etc.) to the player from that window.

There is so much wrong with the corp window as a whole it blows my mind, having to interact with it daily running a 60 man corp is challenge enough let alone running something bigger.

The awfull awfull eye melting tick box system is akin to water torture, please CCP you have been doing such a brilliant job over the last year and a bit, so much has been put right i hope to god you wave that magic wand.

Well... Try to make it simple.

As did with orca

It is impossible to do things globally, as everyone admins stuff in its own way. So Split It !
The management is NOT a tree anyway, it is a WEB!
Remember that a NASA janitor have acess to places that not even the president have....

And the biggest problems in the Corp management is ITEM management.
so:

REVAMP POS: it is the biggest problem for the inventory, now we have many structures with (many x allot) tabs spread among them... we should make it simple. 1 dockable structure with 1 x N tabs...

Then every Station and POS should have an local and single Corporation Hangar with no tabs. and IN THERE the corp manager could place Secured Station Container.

REVAMP CONTAINERS: Every Secured container should have a list of players that can open it. You should also be able to select grup of chars. (Lets says that you corp are split into "vets" and "noobs" so there would be a simple UI where you could sellect who goes to what group) and then in the can you could do: permission> corp> vets > yes and then permission>corp> noobs> no. And all problems are solved.

Then allow the corp CEO and who he really trust to have remote acess to the containers security UI.

And almost All problems solved.


But there is also the POS management roles!!

Easy, give the POS a Owner, a player that will keep the POS. and he can manage the pos Building UI and Fuel. He can give individual permission to others to acess the tabs. If the owner is the corp. then the CEO have the ownership of the POS.
