when I open the corp roles tab and that pos access stuff on that page with all the boxes to tick that go across. you know the one I mean right? corp tab or something. well have you ever seen those dudes who fix those telephone junction boxes at the side of the roads and they have all the wires in like ten million wires all different colours and the man at the side of the road is stood there with one hand scratching the back of his head and it is Friday 3pm and all he is thinking is why can't it be 5pm. well when I look at that corp roles tab all I see is those damned wires and I ain't no gottam engineer, no what I'm sayin bro?

This one was actually mentioned in the dev blog on the January release ...whether it'll make it on that release or be released Soon™ is another story, though.

I would like to see all directors get a notification when a player leaves corp not just the CEO.

I wish my corp mates could use the voting system without having to own shares.

Applying to an alliance is unnecessarily painful.

On a related note, having some alliance level permissions to allow other CEOs to change Alliance MOTD & Standings would be quite nice.

Role management need a complete overhaul its a real pain to manage it and it's really time consuming.

The share, not sure it really have the use intended, maybe a system of automatic buyback for people who are not playing anymore could be apply and people who leave the corp.
Or some share that have a perimeter, works only withing the corp, if you live, it goes back to the corp.

Honestly, it should be drag and drop. Currently the interface is based off of text instead of what it should be based off of, and that's players. Corporations deal with three primary issues, issuing roles, knowing what roles actually do, assigning roles and keeping track of alts.

Reverse the process. Instead of lists upon list, segment the roles process into six areas.

Ceo, directors, fleet commanders, diplomats, line members, trials.

Under each heading, have photos and names of the people in that role. So for instance, assuming I and three others are directors, you click on "director", and my name, screenshot and the other 3 also show up. If you click on me, you get my name, my assigned alts and Alias's (which can only be seen by directors and the ceo, the alts don't get assigned a director role, but you know who they are). If I need another role added or remove, click the "add role" button, have a scroll menu of roles, or just type the actual role, click, hold, drag it over my portrait, done. Want to remove, click the role, click the x next to it. Done.

You remove all lists and assign it on a person by person basis.

The reason for all of this is that actual explanations of what one role does is confusing, titles get screwed up, the loading of 200 people is lagging, it's difficult to scroll to the right to find more roles (lose track).

In addition, update the titles setup so that they themselves can be simply assigned. Drag, drop, done.

In other words, when looking at roles, if you cannot do the following process "drag, drop, done", then you are making it too complicated.

Tldr, drag, drop, done.

Yaay!!!!

Let us upload our own graphic to represent our corps - I am really weary of the same old method of layering "canned" symbols that are meaningless to what my corp represents, and what we're about, not to mention seeing the same symbol on 20 other corps.

I would like to see it made simple and WAYYY less "politic" for any new Alliance to upload an image icon at the time of it's creation - keep the approval need in place if you absolutely must, but let us at least upload the damn thing, straight away.

the biggest issue with the corp interface is the interface on the corp window. Cry

Would be good to see improvements to:

Idea Role Management System:, it would be good to have all the information on a single page and set out to make it easier to see and some clarification on what everything does. Also more felexabilty on setting based at locations to include starbases.

Idea Title Management: Also needs to have the set-up on a single screen and a larger number of slots to assign titles.

edit: Or to simply add titles as needed and not have any if not needed, also have unused titles hidden when not being used

Idea Member Profiles: It would be useful to have a more detailed member profile, showing roles, recent kills and activity.

Idea Recruitment Checker: I know there are many third party apps to do this but could be useful to have information available from the API in game if it is provided in a corp application.

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but:

Granting role and priviledges in general. I actually left a corp and formed my own because it was easier to be a CEO/Director than to get the accesses I wanted.

END THAT RIDICULOUS LEVEL OF OVER COMPLICATION!!! PLEASE!!!!

Tool to tag pilots as alts of another account.

Why: Have to manage this outside the game now to ensure no alts get left behind when someone gets kicked or roles changed.

How: Something simple like one more column on the members tab for "Main" that is initially set to the same character as the row is for or can be changed to any other character. Editable with Personnel Manager role. Viewable: Personnel Manager, Diplo, Director, CEO

Bonus Points: Readable with appropriate corp API key info.

Corporate Wallet Tab in Corp window under assets.

Why: Small but annoying to have to go somewhere else for corp info

How: Duplicate the Corp Wallets Tab in this window.

It would be nice if all corporate sales orders could be viewed in one place (like personal sales orders are in the personal wallet) by select individuals rather than having to switch between alts to determine what's up for sale where. I realize this could quickly become an overwhelmingly large list with larger corps, but could be really helpful to us small fish.

There is nothing little about digging into POS and corp role management. They are inextricably interlinked and cannot be taken apart easily. If it were up to me, I would scrap the entire system and start over with a new back-end. Seriously, this isn't just a UI issue. I'm sure any UI that you put together, CCP Punkturis, will very intuitive and functional. But corp and POS roles need a complete overhaul.

One thing about them that I do like is the ability to pick and choose specific roles and assign them to titles, which can then be handed out to individuals as needed. I would like to see titles available for assignment to POS modules, rather than just fuel manager, starbase manager, corp, and alliance.

The one thing I dislike most is that all that content is locked behind an incredibly complex and convoluted system that is easily abused misunderstood and abused. One needs only to peruse the old Crime and Punishment forums to read about some of the most infamous heists in Eve history. Guiding Hand Social Club and "I stole Majesta Empire" are the first two that came to mind.

A simple though perhaps not easy thing might be allowing us to designate a hanger division as public (out of corp) access. Then remove the role requirement of Factory/Research Manager to use assembly arrays and labs. This would enable corps to rent out arrays and bring in income. Currently, this is not possible because the interfaces are all hidden behind pointless corp roles and hanger access limitations.

TBQH, I would rather we could designate any and all hangers as public access. This would ofc mean anything in the hanger could be stolen. But so long as one doesn't leave their stuff sitting there, it would be fine.

I totally forgot what it was like with two corporations sharing a wormhole.

One way to eliminate the confusion of POSes and POS modules in a management table is allowing access to be configured by right clicking on the POS or POS module in space.

The same thing for allowing any character access, not just someone in corp, would fix a lot of password security issues.

also, if someone is assigned access to a CHA, it probably means they should get access to the POS automagically.

5) With the addition of duels/limited engagements, I can't find a single valid use case for being able to freely shoot someone in your own corp that does not involve ganking/awoxing/etc. What does this mechanic add to the game?
6) War decs are completely ineffective right now, they need to be fixed. I'm not going to list out specific examples, I'm sure they are well documented elsewhere on these forums.
12) Trust in EVE is currently all or nothing. You either don't trust someone at all, OR you give them the keys to your house. Some more granularity would be nice.

Consider alt corps. They exist because it is easier to create your own corp to manage industry/towers/etc than deal with the headaches/risks/etc that come with doing the same as part of your actual corp. To me, this is an indication of the broken state of corporations. The mechanics should encourage gameplay in a single corp, rather than distributed through a network of small alt-corps.

I should be able to do everything I can now by having an alt corp, with the same risk levels, without needing to be in an actual alt corp. Being in a corp should open more possibilities, not introduce unnecessary risks or limit potential.

It would be nice to be able to "hide" titles from out-of-corp players so you can actually give them sensible names without giving outsiders easy intel about members' access rights.
