All of this is just great and dandy. When are you actually going to address the elephant in the room for corporation management? ROLES.

How about fixing the broken can mechanics also. Lovely that you have to give a role to remove anything from a can in a corporate hanger, but the same role actually allows for the WHOLE can to be removed.

That would be a nice fix.

Ohhh the humanity......

It is 100% clear that the corp roles need a complete overhaul, but this will be a major project (much larger than the changes in this DevBlog).
Regarding can mechanics: I am pretty sure, that you are able to access correctly configured containers, if you don't have the role to remove containers. Sure - it is a bit too complicated, but it should work (this did not change with Retribution).

Lots of good things (especially the new containers), except for the blockade runner change, imho.

It doesn't add anything needed (except in -rare- case, I guess ?), and it will be annoying.

Most of my industrial chars can fly a prowler.
They mostly stayed in those, the few times they needed to leave their station.
They use it like a shuttle in high-sec, on autopilot when moving from places to places.
BR are slower than a shuttle, but with the advantage of carrying a probe launcher and probes if the character is needed in a wormhole, and being able to move a few thousands m^3 of valuables immediately and safely, in high or low-sec if and when needed (not on autopilot then, of course).

It was very convenient, having the right ship for travel, WH duty, pos duty and unplanned purchases always available.
I never lost one.
Empty ones were not an interesting target,
full ones were not afk-piloted, and usually scouted.

Now, this is over.
Any afk/autopilot prowler will be a target. Probably empty, of course, but you never know, and killing it is (relatively) cheap.

So, I guess it is back to juggling jump clones and flying a shuttle/vigil/... between regions, leaving a few prowlers left and right, next to the fenrirs.
A bit more planning needed, lots of time lost fetching the ships when needed and putting it back afterwards, nothing gained.

So, in my opinion, if you did this thinking it would help BR pilots, could you think again about it?
I may be wrong, of course, and perhaps many BR pilots will like this change or find it useful.
But so far, I haven't seen evidence of this on the forum.

Of course, it the immunity had been extended to custom, that would be another story ;)

No, actually it cannot be done. You can give them access to view what is in the container, but they would not be able to take anything out of the container. Only by giving the role "take" can you allow them to pull from the container. Unfortunately this same role allows them to TAKE the CONTAINER.

So although you may have passwords on the container, and to unlock item, along with audit logs... it's all for bunk since they can just take the stupid container.

Audit logs on the corporate hanger divisions would at least allow us to get Retribution.

My opinion is that it was horrible decision to push this feature to retribution as it clearly has not been properly crowd sourced and planned. the huge downsides were pretty much ignored and the smelly stuff will land on cap pilots and probably later to POS managers also.

So... as I wrote to test server thread:

Have you considered the fact that the pilot might not want to micro manage items in FH. While there was divisions people with roles could take stuff by themselves if roles were set.

To get to this same point now you have to drop all stuff to FH floor (not to containers) and tolerate the mess. Not that this wouldn't be bad enough by itself you can't limit which corp members have access either. It's to all or none. Same goes with ship hangar.

Seriously you're downgrading the system from being "ok" to level of "total junk".

I approve of roaming gangs catching mining support freighters in belts

It's a good job your new hanger changes and new cargo containers made thing less complicated. After all, you need to get the complexity of EVE under control.

Well, that's a pretty huge shakeup of how cargo works. Aaaand almost all of them directly benefit suicide gankers. Welp, gotta hope a pair of logistics ships can put enough of a buffer up to stop your average ganking attempt.
Covert ops transports change makes sense, if only to balance out the making everything visible everywhere else. I agree with other people in this thread that it's just going to make them public enemy number one since they're made of glass and they're the only thin pinyata you might find something really shiny in. So goodbye hauler shuttle days.

What would be really neatorific would be the ability to customize the number of divisions and their labels, and have that setting stay with just that ship, even after it passes hands.

On the topic of corp roles: Why can't Station Managers set i-hub timers? They can set station timers, dump upgrades in i-hubs, even offline/unanchor the things if they have config starbase equipment as well, but setting the timer? Director only. Makes no sense.
