OP is trolling. He's got to be trolling. There's just no other way.

In case somehow OP is actually serious, however:

You addressed one little part of my last post. How about you answer to the rest of what I said?

Unless, of course, I was spot-on.

Most have the travel fit/ratting carrier well set up looooong before they are setup to run a proper triage carrier.
In my limited experience with nul corps/alliances (depending on recruiting program implementation), the ammo/drones/modules or even ship & replacement ship are provided. Those carrier pilots may or may not see the tax money in those cases. Mining vessels, frigates for newbie pilots, or other ship replacement programs may also be used to recruit new members.

Is that what you meant? If not, I am open to suggestions.



My point about carriers is your grand scheme of taxing all is flawed. 0.0 would not see much more money. It is already common to fly stuff back out to empire for resale. At some you switch to neut/out of corp alt for the changeover to empire. As wt red haulers (who often are the sellers too) tend to not do well on the road to jita or jita itself. And they buy at trade hub to fly back in. Why pay some other guys markup (which is often high in 0.0) when you could spend some time and save loads of isk in the process.



Empire would follow suit. It be even easier, don't need the small army of cyno alts.

basically....lots of recoding work and its bypassed by alts (in 1 mans if you'd like). Alts already dead common now. FW, pirates, 0.0, wh's, even empire all have a heavy alt need. Shoot on site for fw or outlaw, war deccing or plain ole lack of desire to fly back and forth to jita to isk war every hour.

Earlier it was said well make it 500 mil to make one mans to be like off shore corps to hide in. Flawed idea, you have several thousands of players who do this now. Pandora's box is open. All 500 mil corp creation will do is have new players after this change if made go wtf. PLayed before 2014, cheap corps. I play after 2015...500 mil corps. This makes total sense....not.

Want corps to make more money....corps need to motivate members to give up the money. I was in one corp where I was motivated enough to actually donate extra isk (over heavy ratting tax even) to buy an outpost egg. Crew was cool enough I said these peeps need more than jsut my ratting tax. Good home, good corp mates, good times to be had....even as jaded as I am I said I will press the I believe button this time. Rare are these corps in my experience. Most places I have been....I'd trust my isk more to the random isk doubler scammers in Jita. They'd probably put the isk to better use and not blow it away on stupid crap.
