I don't think they can make it work with corp wallets just being piggy banks for directors and assets that might be an alternative to liquid wallets being issued the way they are. If your corp has 1200 Ravens in Asset they get used like a military arsenal and can't really be seen as stock side assets. They might go up in flames in a day.

Have it so Corp wallets stay with the corp maybe, nobody can just dip in and the only way to get ISK out is to do a dividend payment or dissolve the corp. In addition, all insurances go to the Corp the assets are assigned to. Corporations can't insure anything but a hull any more than we can. There would need to be some sort of system to regulate mining corps. With no way to keep integrity in check, it just becomes a new and elaborate scam.


Perhaps have a mode that Player corps can do to put themselves on the stock market? but in doing so the corp gets restrictions:
1)perhaps the master corp wallet cannot be "adjusted" without corp votes? technically that means the shareholders, the investors vote on how money is spent, so that kinda works. that way the money can still be liquid in OTHER wallets, but remain static and the shareholders must vote on it.

2) the corp puts its member logs on the stock market, so investors can see who is in the corp

3) the corp puts its financial stuff too...

Basically, what it comes down to is this, want huge cash injections and a little realism? do what real corps do, give the less important data out, get investors based on "important" data...
HEY heres an idea, why not make it possible to fudge the info anyways? this is eve right?

It's an option but again, they would need to revamp corp. Add payroll as well. If you want to be an investor in Space mermaids, thats one thing. If you want on payroll, that is another and I hire and fire (kick you) based on productivity. it would allow for CTA corps, mining corps etc. High productivity would flag you for a raise, payroll would be automated.

It's all very big ideas, I just don't know if it will ever come about.
