Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi,

we want to know what are your biggest pain points in the corp interface so please post below with some nice examples

Trying to sort out corp access and rights to most things can be a pain, including to the POS.

Only interface related, or backend changes too?

If the latter: grantable titles. Allow us to allow specific members (or members with a specific title) to grant a select list of corp titles without them being automatically able to grant all titles.

If the former: Having "kill reports" as a subtab under "wars" makes no sense, as it shows all kills, not just war-related ones. Can we make it a separate top-level tab instead?

Simplify the "Roles" process, its insanely difficult to navigate.

Ran into this last night, but the ability to mass-award medals rather than doing it one-by-one (Which is suffering if you need to hand out 20+)

As mentioned in may other places:

Corp permissions aren't fine grained enough, and management through titles isn't flexible enough.

Ideally you would have the ability to grant permissions to groups, which can have other groups as members (nested) with the permissions flowing down to users. (With both allow and deny privileges. Deny overrides any number of allows)

Permissions should be possible down to the structure level, with inheritance from a number of levels.

So you can grant privileges to a group, for an individual POS. Or for an individual structure at a POS. Or for every POS in a particular Constellation. or so on.

Ideally you'd have a simple privilege model (similar to the current one) and a fine grained one (you can add fuel, but not unanchor) to allow people to manage it appropriately.

With this, you'd need a Resultant Set of Privileges tool, so get a privilege list for a user, on a particular thing.

(yes, much of this is lifted from the Windows file system/POSIX privilege model)

Oh, and APIs to manage it


While it's not an interface thing:

Two new types of group are needed.

Cross Corp social groups, which bundle a mailing list, bulletins, possibly a wallet, group management (for privileges on the group resources), fleet invites restricted to the group and a chat channel. With proper searching so people can find them. (handy for RvB Ganked, Spectre Fleet and so on)

Corp 'Lite': For when people want a name to rally behind, but don't need/want anything else which comes from having a player corp. (so no corp offices, POS, POCOs) Maybe give them a wallet. Handy for a group of newbies coming in, who want to play together, but not be smashed into the group by bored vets.

Roles...and the process of controlling who has which role. Some tooltips clarifying which role grants what maybe...

POS roles need more options/clarity.

Like personal access rights and what not.

I cant think of anything else right now. I dont manage a big corp

Nothing to add that hasn't been mentioned yet but...

STICKY this!




/makes little dance while singing finally, finally.

Roles are pretty rough and a headache to worth through. Though the entire interface is in much need of a revamp!!!
