EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi,

I'm slowly increasing the my trading and industry characters and wanted to setup a basic corporation that allows them to all work from the same pool of funds, BPO's etc.

Despite being a member of numerous corps I have never set one up nor even looked at how to do it.

Based on the fact I want them sharing resources and purchasing/selling to the pool, what do I need to to?

Regards

Barrak

Thanks. WIll train that now and see what happens.

Anything I should be aware of when setting up a corp or running it? Assuming ZERO outside characters.

Yeah if you're in highsec people like us will wardec you either for the LoLs or because we have been paid to as you're eating into someone's profits with your business...most likely for the LoL's though.

There's a fair bit you can do about it e.I. scout yourself with an out of Corp alt ,drop and reform the Corp , higher other mercenaries to defend you(we do this from time to time).

Wardecs will generally only effect in space activities and only in highsec, they make little to no difference in low/nullsec or in wormholes.

Thanks all.

My pilots (probably an incorrect term given my next comment) are all station bound. In theory.... the should never see the outside of a station again.

Well, given the amount of ISK they can generate it means I can have lots of fun

additionally, I'd move all shares from the corp wallet into the CEO's wallet. If it is just you not such a big deal, but if you ever do involve someone else better to have thought of that before hand, as anyone with wallet access can take shares, and then bye bye corp.

My usual recommendations are:

1. Make an alt for the CEO position, so that if you want to leave your corp and join another player corp with your main character, you can (and your corp remains on your alt).

2. Have the CEO take all the shares that are created, move them to the CEO's personal wallet. It doesn't matter if it's only your alts, but if you eventually invite other people, that's a security vulnerability; whoever takes the shares can vote themselves CEO.

3. Between your main and the alts, feel free to play with the roles and hangar permissions; might as well learn the corp interface and what the roles do, and how you can be attacked / infiltrated.

4. Standings towards NPC corporations (from missions and FW) get averaged between your corp members who have non-0 values. It's thus possible to get high standings on one character and they'll inherit to your whole corp, after I believe 1 week.

5. War declarations are going to be an issue, especially if you set up POS'es. Figure out what you're going to do in case of war, and set up ships/supplies ahead of time, in case you lose ships to combat.

Never make yourself a target by posting on here..

Use a forum alt.

Enjoy.

Correct. This pilot won't be anywhere near them. Probably returning to WH space anytime soon

Well move the stock shares to your own wallet, just in case you do decide to invite an outside folk.

As for war decs - there are easy ways to respond other then fighting: blue ball them, move to the otherside of eve, go into a wh, etc. . .

probably the most fun way to generate war dec tears is take a character place him into an interceptor then go to a safe and burn full speed straight up, then go afk. It will drive them crazy as they try to probe you out.
