Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I know I am wasting my time even posting about "Corps"..... but I try.

You need to either:

A: Completely rework the entire Corp foundation.

or

B: Get rid of having "Corps" in the game at all.

Reason?

You have everyone and his brother creating corps and the majority of them are dead corps within a short time.

Hell.... even corps that are allegedly "Extremely active" with 200 + members, one often is lucky to have 1 or 2 drunk guys loged into corp at any given time.

THIS is a huge reason why so many people stay in NPC corps. It's not the only reason, but.... this issue of so many corps and 200+ member corps having *maybe* 2 guys logged in at any given time makes most corps in Eve almost completely useless.

Eve some of the biggest alliance corps.... your lucky to see the "leader" logged in more than 5 minutes in 30 days time.

tldr: The entrie Eve corp foundation needs a rework.

bla bla bla... deaf ears.

There were already viable ways in which roles for a pilot could be kept hidden from public. The title doesn't necessarily give anything away, and this didn't seem to be an issue.

It appears to be an arbitrary change that in general was not wanted and serves no real purpose.

Making the visibility of a title linked to roles a toggle feature is a much better way of managing this if there was need for a change. Most organizations rely on the quick visibility from "Show Info" rather than having to make several clicks to see these titles.

It appears this wasn't well thought out or implemented, especially with the comment in the patch notes for MOSAIC:

Fully custom everything, dont worry lots of details here

a default setting for all hangers set in corp window
possibility for multiple defaults to set specific hangars quickly
specific hangars are managed further and ignore the default if altered

any number of roles all player named and specific access granted
any number of tabs in hangars
any number of wallet divisions

look/use/take as set by specific roles to specific hangars
use/add/delete as separate roles for corp bookmarks

possibility of personal structures that allow the specific character to assign access

role interface would simply be a grid with all the roles on one axis and the hangar tabs / communication powers on the other. This means each one does exactly what it says and there is no overlap or double requirements that the current system has.

Example highly oversimplified role management grid:

Trial Full Director
ammo x x x
module see x x x
module take x x
ship see x x
ship take x
set standings x
use bm x x x
add bm x x
delete bm x
on/offline x x
unanchor x

Lots of refining to do there:
look / use / take would be in all hangar tabs
this is a default setting, each hangar as it is deployed would have the option of editing its own settings

for assigning roles to members the same kind of grid.

this may not look like much of a change except that it removes all the 2 different role requirements for access to each structure and each hangar.

Big thank you to CCP for summarizing the multitudes of pages into 5 page for setting roles for individual characters. Now, can we also do the same for title management?

Thanks again.

All,

When you join a new alliance, and go to the appropriate menu it shows "application accepted" but does not specify a time that it was accepted so that a corp might know for logistics purposes when to be ready.

Thank you in advance for your consideration,

Cyber

I'm going to take a wait and see approach. New structures might solve a lot

POS Mechanics, still corp'ish related?

Quite a lot of people have been asking for a way for members to gain full access to only certain towers, without giving them access to all.
A simple solution (or at least sounds simple in my head, but legacy code I guess) is in the Online/Offline/Anchor/Unanchor section of the POS settings, there's only 2 selectable roles, Config Starbase Equipment and Starbase Fuel Technician.
How about a third option in this, simple called: "Select Title..."

That way, you can assign characters to a title, and a POS to a title, which should give them full access to that specific tower, and there's no need to go through of adding "Additional Control Tower Owner" addition of code

[Corp Creation]
Add a "Check Availability" on tickers.
Currently the only way check if the corp ticker is taken or not is to press "Create Corporation" or search through tons of corps in People and Places that happens to have those 2-3 ticker letters you want

Tags: Corporation Market Orders

I've recently started doing some market stocking with some alliance mates in an alt corp. Tracking the orders is painful. So! I'd like to propose some corporation orders little things.

1. Tag corporation orders in the market window.

I can tag my orders on market blue - see http://i.imgur.com/6gQ6TIw.png this should be on by default , BTW! - please let me also tag corporation orders on market In my wallet transactions corporation orders are marked using light blue text on the date - see http://i.imgur.com/TUY1pNm.png

Please tag orders that are for my corporation with the same blue text (maybe on the time remaining?)

That way if it's an order by one of my corp mates for corp, it'll have a light blue date; if it's an order for me a blue background; and if it's a corp order by me it'll have a blue background and light blue date.

Make this apply on the Details, My Orders & Corporation Orders tabs. (No blue background on My Orders, not light blue date on Corporation Orders)

Right now I end up accidentally competing with my corp mates.


2. Allow me to filter My Orders.

If I have orders up for corp they appear in both "My Orders" and "Corporation Orders" tabs.

Please allow me to filter the My Orders tab to be only personal orders, only corp orders, or both.

This should also update the stats about the total ISK for buy and sell orders. It'd also be nice to have a stats show how many orders of each kind there are.

Right now I'm not sure how much personal ISK I have on market without going to an out of game tool.


3. Add stats to the Corporation Orders tab

At the bottom of the My Orders tab there are a bunch of stats about my orders. Add the appropriate ones to the Corporation Orders tabs as well.

Total Sell ISK, Total Buy ISK, Number of Sell Orders, Number of Buy Orders

When delivering market orders for corp, can the list of corp members have a search box?
