With the Introduction of Tags4Sec, I have a feel This can be further Expanded out, I warn you now I am horrid at Writing so Expect it long and with bad Grammar.

As we all have members Swaying in our alliances and Corporations I notice that all our Standings and reputations with the different Factions in the game Greatly Sway. Some of us have poor standings with parts of the Big 4, Some with poor Standings with Concord. Some of us can't even enter hi-sec at all from our activities until we fight to regain standings and burn to learn more social skills. The one thing to me I notice is you can have a Full corp of -10 pilots and nothing is Greatly effected by it as long as you Raised the corp standings up, for Setting a POS etc.

What I would like to see is Players Reputations Effecting the Corporations and alliances itself. If all the Players in a Corporation are pissing Concord Off, then the Corporations Standings Start to Crash until like the players, The CEO and members Start doing things to Get back in the proper Graces. Whether Bribing Concord ( could be new CEO skills introduced, We have them in the social Tab) , To fighting Pirate Intrusions (incursions) Or running Missions for concord, ganking other -10 Players to help reduce the Pirates in there Area of Operation. Same thing with the Big 4, If a large enough Group of Players Pissed off Caldari or Gallente etc, That Factions Gaze upon your Group would start to Sour until you repaired the issues. This happens to Companies in Real Life also. Look at the past and even now how Groups are under a bad Eye from either Mob/Mafia ties, or other groups Like some more famous Mercenary groups that anger certain Governments.

New Corporation skills could be introduced to help with connections, standings, bribing officials Etc. Much Similar to how our Social Tab Works. Other players Corp skills already Affect Areas like membership Counts. These would be new and interesting ways to push the META of this game and continue to push the Threshhold and keep us shinier then other Games out there.

I always hear people pop the Phrase.. Eve Is Real. I think this would further build that Immersion into the game and add another level onto CEO's. CEO's Should be Responsible for what there employees do and how it makes them Look. Especially To The Governments and Law Enforcements of the Area. Let's Continue building that Immersion up.
