Yesterday, when I passed some ships from my main charachter to one of my alts, and other ships from my second alt, I was a little bit pissed off because of logging in with 3 accounts at the same time, so I thinked about a solution.

I have 3 chars living in the same system, they can use the same ships, but not all of them have 1 of the ships, so I need to trade the ships if I want to fly a specific role with any of the 3 chars. Why should I buy 3 similar ships, or why should I log in with 3 chars all the time if I want to get a ship?

I don't know who else have this problem, but here is a solution I figured out:

1. Shared ships and items tab:

Shared ships and items tab (not a corp hangar), which can be created like a mailing list, with allowed charachters.

So with my main char, I can create a ships tab, or an items tab, named like "My ships", or "My stuff". I place all my ships or items into that tab, then I configure it to allow my alts to enter it, and take ships or items from it.

This way I can have all my stuff in one place, and I don't need to log in just for trading ships, or items.


The second thing is sortable ships tab.

A few days ago I was looking at my ships, i was searching for my sabre and I swear I didn't see it (but it was there - I just have 40+ ships). Missed a frigate kill...

2. Sortable ships tab:

Right clicking on the ships tab should bring up a menu, where you can sort your ships like:

-show all
-frigates
-destroyers
-cruisers
-etc etc....

Well that's all, I think these modifications would be good, and I hope no just for me.

If you like these ideas, plese support me :)

...You're describing a corp hanger...

No sir, in a corp hangar, all the corp members can access the ships and items.

If you don't want this happen, you can make roles, and divisions and stuff like that.

What's up, if I'm in a 400 men corp? Will I ask for a role or division for my 3 chars?

Edit: also, with an inventory system like the current one... no waaay...

i agree with tkl, the corp hangar is confusing and hard to use for larger grp of ppl.

So... you're basically asking for one of the bigger perks of being in a corporation without having to be in a corporation?

You ARE essentially asking for a personal form of a corp hangar.

To have a corp hangar, your corp needs to purchase an office at each station (which is a hefty some of isk in some stations). These are often a limited resource.

On of the primary reason people rent offices is to have a corp hangar that they can use to share materials between corp members.... and if you make these group hangars instead, you essentially remove one of the major reasons for renting offices.

While your group-hangar is kind of nice, I don't think it's all that appropriate given it's impact on Corp hangars.

From an RP perspective, you'd think you could just toss the keys to your hangar to your buddy so they could access your ships, but I don't know how to best implement this... .

A good suggestion, I use PI on all three of my characters so being able to transfer materials easily without having to put them in a contract/corp hangar would be helpful.

You could have it so you can rent your own private personal offices but you have to be part of a player corporation to do so.

Well our corp has a well built corp hangar and division system, we share lots of ships and stuff.

But here is an example to make things clear:


- my "A" alt can fly a tengu, he can use it for running missions
- my "B" alt can fly a tengu, he can use it to rat in belts or do anoms

- there is only one tengu, which is good for both tasks (costs 2b)

I won't put my money maker ship in the corp hangar, even if I trust my corpmates, so I need some kind of personal "Ships" tab which is accessible for all my chars, so even if I'm not logged in with alt "A", who usually flying the tengu, alt "B" can still reach it from the shared corp hangar.

I hope my problem is clearer now :)

Simple... set permissions on one corp hanger so high that it requires you and your alts to have high permissions to access it. Give yourself and your alts high permissions.

See... I get what you want... the problem is that it takes away a major reason for people to set up corps in the first place.
People can instead stay in their respective NPC corps and create "shadow corps" with trusted people... using the communal hanger to perform corp-like operations without the threat of war decs, espionage/theft, or oversight.

Plus... the game is not specifically designed to cater to people with multiple characters. It just allows for it. And I personally don't see the point in making it easier for people to operate multiple characters at the same time.

Would be a good solution, only problem is, that in our corp every division that can be created (7 I believe) are in use, so we can't make a new one...

So, I'm still stuck.
