EVE New Citizens Q&A

Open your corporation window, select the members tab, then the role management sub tab and finally the access option. Check the appropriate boxes per member.

Eve Uni has an article on their wiki which goes into roles etc in depth which you may find useful.

Indeed. Given appropriate roles, stealing assets is trivial and destroying a corp or an alliance of thousands from within is as simple as pushing a button.

Your corp is going to eventually grow past the point where 1 hangar per member is feasible, which is why I typically recommend setting it up for an unlimited number of people.

I usually set up one hangar for free-for-all access, and even put in some cheap ships / skills / modules to tempt would-be thieves, and one hangar for free access for "trusted" members who have been in the corp for a while (not really for security, more for giving them a feeling of progress through the ranks). And then restricted-access hangars depending on what I want to do (officers-only, minerals/production, etc.).

There's nothing wrong with your setup, of course; you can do whatever you want, and change it later if needed.

I do recommend creating an alt and using it as a would-be corp thief, just to test your security settings. You can promote the alt up and down the corp ranks, and/or test access to the various hangars.

Unfortunately, most high-sec activities can be done solo more efficiently than as a group, and you often have the issue that people don't think about the effort of logistics or the intangible benefits of defense fleets or scouting, so they don't want to pay (taxes) for them. Basically if they can mine alone for x ISK per hour, why participate in any corp operation that will net them less than x ISK per hour, is the thinking.

As a CEO, you're busy enough trying to set up the corp and run it, handle the drama, organize "fun" things for the members, recruit, and train new members; now you're looking at adding and maintaining a tracking and payment system. You'll burn out even faster than normal.

One way to do it is via contracts. Post the rules (whatever the tax is, or whatever you're paying), and then instruct everyone to send you stuff via contracts limited to you, and set the contract so YOU get the ore or w/e and THEY get the payment. Then all you have to do is verify that the numbers are correct and click 'accept'. Sort of like writing expense reports in RL.

Why would a person who can handle higher level missions take along someone who can't?

Why would "safety in numbers" be necessary in hisec?

Also, if you have newbros playing the game for the very first time, missions in a group can be a decent intro to fleet mechanics.

Well, friendship... camaraderie... help out a newbro... that kind of thing.



Well, wardecs, mission flippers, etc.
Hisec is not a safe place and when you undock, you consent to pvp. :D

So keep track of where they do missions regularly, haul in consumables and then sell it in local?

Both good answers.

I was hoping the questions would make the OP think about the goals they are trying to achieve with this corp... Their question was, for power isking why waste time grinding to L4s or 5s when you can fly with someone who can already do them? I was asking why someone who could already do those missions would split the loot when the goal is power isking.

My second question was rhetorical, but might have gotten an interesting answer. Too bad OP ignored my post.

In case it hasn't been mentioned already...

Use titles to grant roles. Never grant members individual roles.

Example titles:
* Recruit: Roles that everybody needs, but can't cause trouble with.
* Grunt: Basic roles that everybody in the corp needs.
* Captain: Roles that fleet commanders need, like access to hangar(s) and wallet(s).
* General: Virtual director. Every role except being an actual director (cannot start votes, nor execute actionable items).
* Industrialist: Roles an industrialist needs (for POS).
* Gunner: POS gunner.
* Janitor: POS refueling.

... and so forth.
