Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I keep saying this over and over, i want to "remove" corp bookmarks. I am just a grunt, I can't actually delete bookmarks, but it's not often that someone makes a corp bookamrk and then doesn't let me unsee this expired Wormhole bookmark for example.

Please just make it possible so that I can hover over the bookmark and hide it or something so i can clean up my menu when I right click in space. I think some option with an eyeball would work well in the bookmarks area of the people and places window. Kind of like the layers in most graphic editing programs. So if there was a bookmark that i did hide, i could still unhide it if necessary.

Or posibly some way for minions to mark them no longer valid, and a way for those who can remove corp bookmarks to find those marked invalid and check/remove them.

Alliance access to POS structures, and their use.
There are broken check boxes for this sort of thing. Don't remove them. Fix them. If they worked small alliances (particularly those in wspace) could get a lot more done with a heck of a lot less if we didn't have to be fueling so much redundancy. It detracts from the game and makes working together and sharing more of a pain than it is worth.

Ability to right-click on a member in corporation and enter a note about the character. Depending on ROLE this would be visible to the corp or only yourself. This would allow CEOs to keep track of specifics about a character (such as their alts, what cap ships they could fly, even real life info if needed) without using an external spreadsheet.

Well until they can get it to surgery, I'll settle for them to take what little time they do have and put some band-aids, and maybe a tourniquet on it for now.

Allow for the renaming of a Corporation. Limit to once a year, charge a fee. (Hopefully the Corp name is actually tied to a GUID in the database and not an actual character string of the corp name.)

1. More corp icons, better to allow customizing.

2. Allow all closed corp name and tickers to use.

3. Better interfacing and roles

Thx.

It has been stated a couple times already, but Corp Roles need a major overhaul. Make them easier to understand and what you're actually giving the member access to. Make it so that the fact that it's thousands of years from now, it's too easy to completely hang yourself with it.

The POS needs quite a bit of work. I have skills trained that allow me to start building stuff or copying/researching blueprints, but I always need someone else to physically move stuff around at that tower. If we had connections much like the PI interface so that it would be automated, the time I spent training "Scientific Networking" or "Supply Chain Management" needs to be more useful. The analogy that immediately comes to mind is the Conveyor in Space Engineers. - Maybe this isn't exactly a Corp thing, but it does affect a lot of corps.

Corp access to PI launches. To "Launch for Self" or "Launch for Corporation" would be handy.

A more useful Corporation Bulletins to use for shared information would be great. Too many times we have to direct a player to out-of-game websites for info that we could gather and present better in-game. Allow for a built-in wiki-like system that could be corp specific.

A cleaner corp/personal fittings manager in-game. An in-game EFT/Pyfa has been asked for for as long as I can remember. It would also help those new player that have to figure out all of the API stuff to make it work.

I could go on and on, however, these are what came to mind right away. I have read through several of the suggestions and there are some very goods ones presented already. Keep them coming folks!

This might not be small - but an option to allow corp mates to view player owned BPO/BPCs so they can run jobs off them.
I have a number of BPOs that I would love to make open for my mates to use, but don't wanna risk them getting mixed up or taken by Corp mates if kept in a corp hanger.

The main problem is recruitment, everything else is just details. If the game is set up in such a way that it encourages and motivates people to find a corp (and its accessible and easy) only then will you know what is the right course of action for a corp revamp, because as it is now only a few corps truly have "active" people in them, in my opinion the only way to increase "activity" in a corp is through buffing the entire recruitment process for the corp mechanic.

I had previously suggested a matchmaking based on statistics in my thread before, The other alternative is creating a wide range of official chatrooms that are for recruitment purposes (they can even have microphone activated by default since the amount of people in the chatroom will be significantly less), everybody joins a chatroom depending on the answers they have provided on "custom search window". Some of the questions on the "search window" might include:
- what region
- what timezone
- what activities
- what comms
- what pvp ship
- what pve ship
- what shiny ships
- what careers
- what careers you definately dont want
- what is your isk capital
- in this window type in 130 words what you want (it will appear on the channel): xxxxxxx

Alternatively "live recruitment events in-game" which are done locally by corporations. During these events pilots should feel safe and guarded by concord or be protected against sneaky pvp mechanics that can be abused by pirates. Perhaps Dojos can be used for this since they provide a sort of arena where you can hang out with the people you are considering joining. To me a live event would probably include: having the opportunity to show off your ship and fit, get the opportunity to follow an FC's decision making during a live exercise, enjoy the level of detail and effort the recruiters have put in into their recruitment event... etc.
