True. We have 3 levels of organisation already in the game mechanics: Individual, Corp and Alliance. So far, so reasonable. I wonder though, at which point it will get ridiculous. It would not be surprising if - as Unsuccessful At Everything has pointed out - players were to form Coalitions of Coalitions, as soon as game mechanics Coalitions were a thing. Would someone then ask for a fifth level?

My idea of what CCP could do:

A coalition is defined as a set of players, corporations, alliances and other coalitions that have a common interest or goal.
A coalition consists of at least one chat channel, one mailing list and one moderator.

So, if CCP did something, all they would really be doing is adding an in-game interface to streamline setting up a chat channel and a mailing list, linking them to a common name, and managing their membership.

I see nothing wrong with streamlining mechanisms to create coalitions.



Exactly...the coalitions between alliances already exist except you can´t create them like you do alliances

I propose a "create coalition" button where all the alliances interested sign up and then when you click ok it disbands all those alliances, removes all sov, offlines the POSes and locks them out of their own stations. with a popup going "there you go, now start growing a spine you fcking zerg clown".


I should be a dev.

Its not just the creation of coalitions of alliances but Empires of coalitions that we need as well

I suggest Mega-Empires and Meta-Mega-Empires as well. However, we should not forget the other direction: A corp should have Divisions and Sub-Divisions with their own logos and tags.

Then we have Subdivision - Division - Corp - Alliance - Coalition - Empire - Mega-Empire - Meta-Mega-Empire

Hmm, I feel that may still not be enough.

Edit: After that, I suppose we can just start using numbers. Meta-Mega-Empire Class II

Genius!
