Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The power of corps in EVE is what separates it from other games, and I think more should be done to support this. Corps, whether small or large, need a greater presence throughout the EVE universe. Some ideas below:

-Large billboards at stations & gates
-Buying ad space for the CQ screens
-Ability to create a line of ships or modules. (Goonswarm modified Rifter: -1 high, +1 med, -50% ehp, 20% greater speed. Skin is yellow and black industrial stripes - Yes, the colours of a bee)
-Buying space for large posters or holographic projections of the corp/alliance logo on ship hangars
-Public shares which are useful
-Corp logos on ships
-Ability to add a nickname to nullsec systems, as long as remains somewhat serious. For example: THP-S2 (Acetech Prime)
-Allow caps and supercaps to cyno into highsec for a large fee. No modules/drones can be activated. Can be used to take a shortcut from one system to another, or to display strength to the highsec dwellers.
-Battle reports, with accompanying video highlights, on the CQ screen.

Price of the above can be somewhat scaled according to the size of wealth of the corp, so the smaller ones don't entirely miss out while the larger ones buy everything.

Any player in EVE, even if they don't follow news or forums and live safely in highsec, should be able to see the power of corporations.

you'd have 10,000 1 man corps advertising their new and growing, soon to do 0.0 corps. Too many chiefs, not enough indians.

The power of having a member of your alliance on the dev team is what separates EVE from other games.

I agree to this proposal, and the example name is outstanding

Its funny because im not an alt, take a joke I wasn't actually going OMGTHISISBESIDEABECAUSESOMEONEINMYCORPMADEIT

a 3 man corp.

Well, corp logo's and the skins are coming SoonTM.

Player modified ships and modules would be far too hard to implement in anything approaching a sane timeframe due to the stupid levels of variation.

Public shares being useful would be nice, I could see EVE getting it's own little mini-stockmarket (THEY JUST LOST THEIR TECH MOONS, SELL SELL SELL.).

Inbuilt EVE Recorder is apparently also on the cards in the future, and already exists as a dev tool.

Ability to rename sovereign Null would be cool, but nothing revolutionary there.

I prefer postsense.

Every corp out there has the option to get known and noticed. It just depends on if they are willing to put work into it,or are interested in the publicity in the first place. Everything you list would make it easier for a corp to get their name spread,sure. But nothing in Eve is "easy" and honestly if it was easy to archive acknowledgment what would be a corp drive to actually make something of them selfes? (if fame and glory is all that corp want)

Sorry but most of the corps,and alliances,out there that are well known is because they have worked their asses off to make it happen and get the respect,hate or admiration they deserve from the eve community as a whole. And its not just corps,its invidual players as well.
Look at Chribba. He is known by most Eve players because of what he do for the Eve community,not because he has billboard commercials advertising him self

And what exactly does qualefy as a good enough presence? Look at my corp. I feel that we have done rather well,respectful age,been around,some people know us but most wont. Personally for me that is more then enough,and those large alliances and corps that is well known trough most of Eve,how much does it really affect them? Bragging rights? Sure,easier to recruit? Ofc. But then again you can twist it around and all that fame and glory makes them a more likely target for spies,war decs and getting flamed whenever they open their mouths on the forum.

Well im sure people will disagree with me but bottom line... If a corp wants fame,work for it,gain the respect of the Eve community as a whole,and dont try to clutter Eve with a bunch of commercials that no one will even notice.

This is less about commercials, and more about power.
I believe that corps in EVE should have a more unique identity, or the ability to project some of this identity onto EVE.

Take the customised ships & modules, for instance.
One corp could be known for producing autocannons with the highest fire rate, lowest accuracy, and highest price.
Another corp could be known for its production of a strange line of Dominixes which sacrifice shield and armour for a hull tank.

Right now, all corps can do is capture and lose systems, create modules/ships with no identity and smacktalk on the forums to gain public attention.

And, Jaroslav, don't spout axioms which don't apply to EVE. Right now, no one can buy billboards. If purchasable billboards were implemented, with restrictions to prevent breakage of EVE, do we have more or less freedom than before?
