EVE New Citizens Q&A

newbies
- character sheet/training queue/etc (pretty much the minimum needed for EVEMon to function). Also, not just limited to one character, has to be the full account with all characters noted.

"Officers" (i.e. not directors, but still have decent enough roles)... probably no different. But they have to prove themselves trustworthy before getting the access.

Directors
- full.

Personal opinion:

If you have nothing to hide, why wouldn't you display all stuff to others.
On my application I ticked every single box as I have nothing to hide, if people are reluctant to give you certain information using their API they likely have a reason for it, and generally that reason is not a good one for your corp.

Just keep in mind (and mention to newer players) that API is a read only tool, so giving it away to others is 'safe'. All they can do is read into everything you set to be revealed, in no way it gives them the ability to alter or control your character(s).

What each corps requires you to show to them is different for each corp, mainly cause each corp has their own way to check their new recruits (some are more strict then others).

For certain roles you give to members, I think a separate API won't be needed, you did get their initial API (and with that a look into their account) when they joined the corp. You should only give "certain" roles to people who proven them self trustworthy, no API would change the part where you trust them by giving them the role.

For directors, it's either no API change too (as Directors are in a way the same as any role mentioned above but people have to get even more trust to be granted them) or a full API so you can monitor their accounts more actively as they have the ability to wreck havoc in your corp. But if they do that, then you shouldn't have given them director roles yet as they didn't proved them self trustworthy at all.

CEO, doesn't matter, as likely the CEO is the guy that made the corp so why would someone want to check his account. If you don't like him, leave the corp and move to another.

Entirely true on the 2-way part, the corps also needs you (else they wouldn't be recruiting).

My personal opinion, if someone want to read through all my previous eve-mails, so be it. Wish them the best of luck and they will never find anything important in it as mails containing delicate information that might harm me or anyone who I've been in contact with will be deleted after reading, all that remains are the normal chit-chat mails and stuff that is long overdue and of no possible concern of the guy that has my API.

And That Sir is the Users own problem I have plenty of Full APi's from my members if they leave and don't kill it that's there own issue Evemon and EVE HQ is slow enough with tons of people on it and hardly "stable" i only look into specific people if a "issue that could affect the corp arise" and I have proof to warrant the search" other then that

Basically this is how i use the Full API keys
-Check account before recruiting
-make sure it a account and shows all characters if any
-Use for EFT and ship help/skill training
-When issues happened, use EVEHQ if needed (Full wallet/Contracts can help me see where a person is getting there isk from or ships, i already had one character in my corp get removed, all his wealth came from outside means and he said he made it all himself)

Now that i think about it i don't really need Mail, but id still like MFG,and lab work, i like remember people if they have jobs done :D and or corp cohesion in co-op MFG/research




Anyway The New API is pretty cool you The owner can see who accesses it!

You have a point however any "valued member(directors) " in my corp that could do damage is all real life friends

However your scenario is valid i didn't read it that way the first time since it doesn't apply to my corp.

also this is about the API

It is not in detail who gets what roles in your corporation and whom you cant trust and what if scenario

Then the guy that left the corp and joined another corp is stupid, as soon as you leave corp you can delete the entire API and make a new one.

"If you have nothing to hide" is an obvious fallacy that is never even worth defending, but I understand why a corp might want it. I don't care what they see for the most part, but I am kinda private about my wallet and inventory (items and resources I might have stashed away). Would that be an issue?

Items yes....if you say one thing...and i find out its a lie well yeah ...

plus it allows me to see if that ship your TRULY flying is fitted with what you say its fitted with :D alternate version of a ship scanner


and really who cares if i can "SEE what assets you have where .... i cant really do anything about it . other then to confirm what you have or if you have "stolen" anything :/




everything wallet and contracts is a must as said many times , its number one in finding out if your main character or just a alt

Thought I would continue this instead of spawning new thread...

I've seen a corp require account userid. Now THAT seems excessive. Having a useful background in security, I don't see a reason to hand this information out, certainly so long as EVE does not provide a two factor authentication option. Is this legitimate information to give to people, and what would they use it for?

Full [x] API is the norm in the null for recruiting.
