Player Features and Ideas Discussion

- Roles need more flexibility
- More hangars
- More wallet divisions
- Rework of corp contracting system (or contracting system as a whole). Key thing on corp contracting is that one needs full access to a wallet division before it can put up a contract on behalf of corp, which is less desirable.

I must also add a critical issue with my corp : The number of people that withdraw their application by mistake without noticing it, is completely indecent from an UI design and readability perspective. Granted, we recruit a lot of newbies, but still.

Better management of alts within corp.

- new color tag for alts instead of green
- better user interface for tracking who's alt is who to get better idea of how many real pilots there are in corp.

This will also help when kicking people, then we would know which toons to kick and avoid problems.

Ps!

Fix the docking range on station, they should not have 50km docking range around them

people can dock up way to easy when hostiles enters system with/without bubbles on station


thanks

Add more unicode so my corp can have hilarious smiley faces as our titles associated with hangar roles.

Everything. As it stands the entire interface is not fit for purpose and hasn't been updated in any significant way for ten years. That's an appalling lapse of development.

* Personnel Managers can hire but not fire. Only Directors can fire. This needs to change.
* Introduce the ability to offer a stipend for certain jobs.
* Introduce an allowance system on wallet withdrawals.
* Data presented is inaccurate. I loged an alt on four days ago, it tells me he was last online last week.
* Starbase roles are all catch all roles. I cannot assign it on a POS by POS basis. This makes it's a security risk.
* Corp. wallet desperately needs an export feature.
* Auto removal is something I see you've added a tab for but it needs a working system behind it
* Decorations should be able to be deleted if none are assigned.
* Tax rate scope needs increasing. It's too limited in what can be taxed right now.
* Auto-unrent of office space if hangers aren't accessed in a period of time. Prevents office farming.
* BPo lockdown requires a vote for each individual BPo which is time consuming. Drop down list collapses after each one.
* In-space assets does not give you a specific location, only the system. Needs more detail.
* Hierarchical structure presentation. A new member should easily be able to see who is in what command position.


I'd like to have the option to have more hangers. Perhaps allowing office rental costs to be determined by the number of hangers. Your HQ will probably need a lot of them but your regional office will probably need less. This fits in with how it works in real life. My warehouse rental isn't just based upon location but floor space as well.

Member auditing needs to provide far more useful information than it does now and allow for multiple members to be audited via pre-determined criteria. For example, when did the person last undock? When was their last kill? When was their last wallet transaction, who accepted so and so's application etc.

Corporation management screen also desperately needs out-of-game interface that allows for corporate management to be handled offline in a similar manner to how Eve Gate allows you access to Eve Mail. There's no need for everything to have to be done in-game. When I log on, I want to play. I can do the other stuff when I can access a PC but can't log in to Eve. That said, flexibility and choice are the key here so I wouldn't want to see it removed from in-game.

When looking for corporate assets in stations other than which you are docked in, items should be categorised in the same groupings as they are in the market. I know you can search for items in specific categories but when searching for all, there is no grouping.

The same applies for impounded items which, incidentally, should be able to be remotely released from impound.

The game is also far too stacked in favour of corporate theives and awoxers and corporate security is virtually non-existent. It needs a rebalance between the two. I don't want to stop thieves but they should have to work for their ill-gotten gains more than they do now. For example, CEOs and Directors should be allowed to set quotas on items that can be removed from a corporation hanger but allow for something like a Quartermaster role that allows for everything to be taken. Any would-be thief needs to work his way up the chain of command before he can do damage. Corporation hangers should also have auditing without the need to use containers. As a CEO, I should be able to know who is taking what. This could be incorporated in to the member auditing as mentioned above.

I should be able to set an auto-removal for anyone shooting someone on my blue list, even if they're in space. Awoxing can still occur but requires more thought put in to it, such as a dictor dropping a bubble on a blue fleet and cynoing in a hostile fleet on top of them. You're not removing awoxing, you're simply making them work a little harder than someone running around with wild abandon shooting every blue in sight for no other reason than there's no one on-line to remove them from the corporation or because they're sat in space refusing to dock. It should also be able to automatically remove anyone who hasn't logged on for a period of time. If I can set a forum to auto-prune members, I should be able to do the same with the corporation.

Whilst I agree roles need looking at, please don't make them overpowered. If nothing else, I think there should be less roles. Corporation management should have to make the tough choice between protecting themselves from theft/abuse and providing easy access to goods to it's membership.

If a corporation allows nefarious characters into it's corporation through lax recruitment and security policies, they should pay the price.

I can see stuff about roles as well - but adding more titles would be good. I think 10 more would suffice.

I think interface-wise, a sort of member list + flowchart would be awesome and easy to use to assign roles and whatnot.

Sharing corp bookmarks with alliance. [showerthoughts]

• Clean up interface
• clearer descriptions of roles
• allow for groups, nested groups, and roles/permissions to be applied.
• allow for different tax structures for different groups
• allow corps to tax some of the newer ways for players to make isk in null-sec.
• allow the sov holder to tax activities other than PI from people outside their corp.
• allow for group industry to happen safely and securely without exposure to grand theft
• add a tap to character 'show info' for CEO and Directors to share notes on a character
• add a tab to character 'show info' for CEO and Directors to review roles/groups
• allow people to deploy POS for player instead of for corp only. player then can assign roles to other players, corps, andalliances as they see fit.

Edit: Add a stock market to the game so we can safely and securely trade corporate stocks.
