I think that with the exception of minmatar, the NPC corp that each player defaults to when they leave a corporation should be one of the major T2 manufacturers. Ex. would be how the True Amarr default into Viziam, I think you should have something along the lines of Khanid defaulting into Khanid Innovations, Crivire defaulting to Kaalakiota, etc.

Seems like it'd make a decent amount of sense and give players more options, both in terms of accessability and RP potential. An idea to improve upon it would be they would gain certain benefits like tax-free production, increased standings per missions completed, etc. to make it more interesting. Just thought it would be a nice niche for solo players.

Some other ideas related to that would be possibly getting specific corporate starbase charters from them where you can have your "personal" starbase that you'd pay minimal taxes on, but you could get specialty starbase structures from the LP store, only accessible to members of the NPC corp. The lore explanation would be that the major empire corporations would be looking for better ways to entice capsuleer loyalty.

On a side note, does anyone know what Khanid innovation only has a single station? Aside from certain nullsec NPC corps like mordu's or serpentis inquest they're just by their lonesome, and the only ones in hisec like it. Doesn't make much sense to me...

Better yet, let us choose which NPC corp we roll into, perhaps give a assign a minimum standing necessary for each corp? The three trainer corps would be the default for low standing.

The things we do today we must live with forever.... Think about it

Why are you excluding minmatarr?

I'd love to have free choice. I don't really like Viziam and would rather like to join Sarum Family, Tash-Murkon Family, Carthum Conglomerate or Zoar and Sons, in case of Amarr. For the Amarr, there should be a limitation, however, that you cannot join one of the Emperor Family corp unless you have a +10 standing to Amarr Empire, Emperor Family and the Heir Families. Roll Same probably goes for Gallente, where you need the equivalents to be able to join the President corp, among other races.

Would be awesome. Big smile

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
