Add alliance hangars similar to corporation hangars, please.

I dont know if it was mentioned before, but it would be nice to have more space in the corp advert.
I dont want to waste my corp info for all the recruiting stuff, when there is a place where all of this belongs.
As a director of a multilinguistic corp, i invented an bilingual advert only to find out, that not even 1/10 of it, would fit in the advert section.

Tooltips would be nice but i think that requires a big change of the corp window but what if you get a tutorial when you open the roles and titel tap the first time, where all the details of the roles are mentioned.

Btw, thx for all the little things you've allready done to the corp window. 2 years ago it was a pain in the a.., to plan titels for a corp from scratch, now you dont have to have 4 monitors to see all the roles at ones or minimize one after another to see what is behind the edge of the window.

Please allow corp directors to change corp's logo.

BPO lockdown and unlock mechanics needs work. Major pain when you need to lock/unlock hundreds of BPO's.

Rights and roles management can improve. Tooltips to help explain would help a lot, as well as UI improvements.

Probably restating, but I really want the 'transfer ISK' stuff to tie in with corp contacts/members. Basically, 99% of the time when splitting profits from corp ops I'm sending from one corp wallet to the other, sending to corp members or sending to known third parties who are probably in corp contacts. It'd be awesome if we could at least have 'favourite recipients' but ideally it would tie directly into the contact list + have a shortcut for transferring between corp wallet divisions or to other corps in the alliance.

And the # of hangars/wallet divs is also odd. Converting a bitmap into a short int or enum shouldn't be overly difficult. It'd also be really great if we could manage that per structure, so my labs have a blueprints division but my CHAs have high/med/low modules, ammo, drones, etc.

More and better documentation about roles. Othervise, it's mostrly fine.

Also, in case it hasn't been mentioned, fix war dec costs.


FIX WAR DEC!


Today is Dec 20th. LAWN has been under war dec since March 22nd. Clearly a broken system.


idea: make the costs scale up each week just like the fatigue scales up with each jump

what's that you say? A cooldown timer for re-wardeccing the same entity?

As a Ceo of a new corp for a year and a half, I've found that there are two major points with the mechanics of managing a corporation that are both arduous and confusing: Getting roles set up and/or taken down, and working with corps in alliance.

Whenever someone new comes in and they earn POS rights, title and role assignment always seems to turn into a "I changed this, did it work yet?" scenario. While we have gotten titles and role-assignments much better known and the process refined, it took a good 4 months of manipulation to get there, and it is caused mainly by which roles give which access and some titles not giving that role option (or at least making it easy to find). I'm looking particularly at the Hangar, Container, and Other Access roles. I finally figured out "Other" meant "Starbase" after giving up and asking the Help channel, and if a corp doesn't hold an office in station somewhere it could be a lot of tiresome trial and error to find out what Hangar and Container specify for on top of Other. Grantable Roles' power were only confusing until the obvious struck, but for those starting out with roles (such as a new director) will have to redo the whole trial and error process just like the previous CEO/Director.

I would suggest a tutorial or guide built into the corp management window that explains what the roles do and how doing one thing can cause such effect. This instead of the current feature that gives a brief explanation of the role assignment would help new directors make better assignment decisions and title management faster.

The other big corp issue I found is that joining an alliance, or getting a corp to join alliance, can be annoying and off-putting, downright impossible if the applicant has a slow computer. Current system has a list of all alliances available for a corp to apply to, a big list with few filters to separate lifestyles. I held a high-sec alliance for about 5 months in order to do some war-style anti-ganking, but what I found was that corps were so reluctant to scroll through the list to find us (under P) I could only get a handful that weren't going to be on anyway and was leading them through the process by hand. It's too personal, especially compared to the current corporation recruitment standard. Why not make alliance applications as simple as corporation, where a CEO can apply straight from the profile window?

On top of being restrictive for applicants, our alliance was disassembled because it was way too easy to get war-decced. 5 months of continuous wars against bored T3 fleets (usually one guy with several alts) for no reason and without any warning outside the 24-hour warning. Some corps that declared war weren't even within two regions of our home systems and many claimed they simply scrolled through the list and declared war. "Oh, these guys look easy, let's make them miserable for a week or two and see what we can get." I don't mind a little war now and then, and I realize now that making an alliance at such a young stage and in high-sec (especially with a title like Peacekeepers of High-Sec), we were kind of asking for it; But, when the process to fight is so much more impersonal and easy than getting people to join, nobody can play. When you can't play, it's not fun, then people leave, making it harder for those who have decided to stay.

In summary, I suggest 1) a role tutorial/help list specifically made for information and instruction and 2) balance the ease of war declaration with the struggle of recruitment. Calling recruitment "a challenge in itself" should not include a confusing application process and can be as easy a fix as adding a apply button to alliance profile window.

Thank you for your attention. o7

-Some buy/sell filter to corp hangars(for example:two button menu,click on sell,open window,drag item there,write price,then everyt hing of that kind from that hangar will be sell out from that price) so u can buy/sell ores from you miners and to your indyes or stuffs for corp prices everytime when miner,indy is online.No need to wait for some officer to come online.

-more colors and signs for corp logo editor :-)

-more clear interface in roles

A better way of seeing where the corp POSs are and when they run out of fuel.

As of now the calendar is doing this job and is not quite optimal. IE. Having to click on each entry to see what planet/moon and how many blocks are left is a pain.

One window like the "control towers" tab in the starbase management would be nice. It could be laid out like that but with time left on each POS and planet moon included.

OR

Just add planet/moon and time to empty to that control tower section.
