One advantage of a long employment history is that it can lock up the info window for a while. IE If you are jumping through low sec and a pirate checks you out, it can lock them up for up to 30 seconds. :) I have been whined at by pirates specifically for that. OK, it doesn't happen often but it does happen.

On another note...

Depending on what you bring to the corp no matter how long your history is they will take you. If you are just a nobody, a random, another corp member just earning them some tax. Then it matters.

I am against it though...

I don't consider my employment history very long.

like pay some isk to some specific NPC and you can change your employment history to their corporation.cause a lot null sec
alliance will decline your application just because your history. and if you can change your history EVE will be more real cause if is in the real life you cant always just get those information so easily.and it will also creat a lot jobsfor spies.
and of course it shall cost a lot and maybe charge according to your SP~

But forehead visibility should be mandatory.

I wish stays in NPC corps were hidden by default (but could be displayed if desired) - that alone would make it much easier to read employment histories.

edit: as for "OMG my employment history is preventing me from joining my dream corp" - your employment history is the convenient excuse, not the reason for you not getting into that corp (case in point: mandozer - I don't think there's any 0.0 alliance he hasn't joined (and awoxed), but his personality and entertainment value mean he'll always find a new home).

Nah, history has a place, it lets people know what type of person you are, a few choice mails and they know if your an idiot, smart or just a plain dumb arsed cretin.

When i understood eve history (and in the past NPC corp standings) i bio-massed my main and started again, it was worth the lost SP.

Its an integral part of EvE, i was upset when NPC standings went, but understood that the database load of it could be excessive, so need for speed won out.

Oh and in real life getting rid of your history is not easy in fact these days its nigh on impossible, thank s to the internet, DNA testing, face recognition software but mainly of course peoples own stupidity.

On a serious note, I wouldn't necessarily say that the corporation history should be cleaned so much as a notation made in the corp history when purchased by a new owner. That way the character's history is maintained, but it can still be made clear how much of that history belongs to the new owner.


I like this solution. Makes weeding out spies easier since we'll now be able to tell, at a glance, on when they were purchased.

I am ready to step up and provide this service in the absence of CCP providing an alternative.

For the tidy sum of 500 million ISK and two PLEX, I will temporarily assume control of your character and biomass it, thereby cleaning the employment history.

Corp history should remain. The only changes they should make is remove NPC corps from employment history to tidy them up, or allow them to be hidden.

As for character purchases and name changes, this could be allowed but reflected in Corp history.

Pilot's name changed from X to Y on XXXX-XX-XX

Pilot ownership changed on XXXX-XX-XX

How you would RP the 2nd one would need some creativity.

I think there should be a way for a director/CEO of a corp to add a short report about the character when the character is leaving corp. You know, something like "Very good pvper" or "Awoxer" ...that could help distinguishing scum from players Big smile

Yeah mine takes a long time to load. Been in a lot of corporations. Nothing to do with me as a person or pilot, it was just that all the corps and alliances seemed to suck donkeys, were run and staffed by morons and they couldn't handle my awesomeness....

I think its unfair for my applications to be rejected simply because other people were found lacking so I support this suggestion.

System as it is now is just better than allowing you to change/modify or remove corp history. Why? Because its about choises that you will have to live with so joining and leaving corps should not be taken lightly. If you could remove corp history then imagine how frustraiting for some corps it will be that people just hop in and hop out of corp.

About spies, heh it would help to get characters into corps but lets be honest now. Modern day spy already probably sitting in your corp on alt he trained on one of his hundered accounds with clean corp history. Bear

remove npc corps from the corp history, it's just pointless clutter. is there a gap between two player corps in the corp history? then obviously they were in the npc corp.

every second entry is some pointless npc corp that just clutters up the history.

There's a super secret way to entirely erase your corp history.

Select Character > Biomass.

It even takes more ISK (in the form of PLEX) to replace your SP progress the more SP you had. Just like you asked for.


In other words, no. Don't like your corp history, sell your character and buy/train a new one.

Maybe people should just start looking up references instead of just skim-reading the corp history.

I'm not against that, just means I won't have any history.

You won't need the gap between them as you will be able to tell from the dates.
