Thanks for all the support so far everyone! Get all your corp mates to like the post and post in it, hopefully try and attract some more attention to it.

As far as I know, it is not too hard to add in, but will make life so much easier for corp management.

This is something I've been bugging CCP for for years, along with a few other corp management related things.

However, this could very easily be extended further:

- Editable "thanks for applying" message, with info on what else is needed, if anything.
- An editable "Your application was rejected." message - the current one its very blunt.
- A message on leaving, and a separate message on being kicked (again, the 'Kicked' message is very blunt).

I've actually been speaking to CCP about the recruitment interface and other corp interface related things off and on over the last few weeks, and stressed how small things like this would make it much easier for people to manage corporations, especially when they get bigger.

I'm hoping for some improvements around the winter expansion, but not holding my breath too much yet.

Having checked out the changes so far on Buckingham, no new options etc... have been added to recruitment, simply shinier buttons, as far as I can tell. While shiny is good, being able to manage more things, making the life of a CEO/Director/Recruitment Officer easier, is ALWAYS better :)

Good idea! CCP read THIS before you change something into crap again. Your community has the better ideas!
"Unified Welcome Mail" is much better than the "unified inventory". Lol

While this is very useful indeed, we (and I would think most) use this for more up-to-date information, such as planned events, and not for more static information such as voice comm details, base of operations, website address, etc... MOTD stands for Message of the Day, suggesting more dynamic text should be put here.

Mailing lists have a welcome mail which is automatically sent out when you join, why can't corps? :)

Yes you could simply link to a forum thread in the MOTD which contains a 'welcome mail', but how do they know how to register on the forums (API registering confuses the [insert explicit word] out of some people), or who to contact if they have any issues right away. Plus, once you've been in a corp for a few years, who wants to log in everyday to see the same old message which doesn't relate to you.

This isn't me laying into you, simply taking the opportunity to further explains the reasons why this would be so useful.

I shalt +1 this as well. Brilliant idea, should go along with all the corp interface changes they're thinking of doing.

As the wise Yahtzee once said, "EVE's interface could be more intuitive if you were looking at your monitor from the bottom of a ******* well." and this is one of those areas. I still have yet to figure out how to use most of the corp management interface, and bulletins are kinda useless considering there's no notification for people that they have been up and it's not the first place people look for the info.(Usually corp mails, mumble or elsewhere.)

With love,

Your favorite idiot.

I have seen this posted a couple of times, but all the threads are locked and buried (so can't bump them etc...).

Mailing lists have the option to add a Welcome mail so when a player joins they get sent a mail which can contain useful information etc... Often corps send out welcome mails whenever a new person joins, however this can get tiring and relies on a 'recruitment officer' to send the mail manually. For bigger corps, such as RvB this must be annoying and I know I would much prefer it if it could be automated.

Members already get mails/notifications when they are accepted into a corp, and Welcome Mails already exist for Mailing Lists, so hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to add Welcome Mails for when someone joins a corp.

Implementation:


  • Add a new tab to the Recruitment tab in the Corp Management UI named Welcome Mail.
  • People with the Personnel Manager or Communications Officer role have the rights to change this mail.
  • The ability to link characters, Systems, Stations and URLs (URLs you can't link from the standard right click --> Autolink option).


Use bulletins. Use notepad and cut-n-paste. Is this 1975?

"Mailing lists have a welcome mail which is automatically sent out when you join, why can't corps?"

Make a corp mailing list.

Thank you.
