Anyone with multiple characters knows the pain of sharing items and information across multiple characters. You have to go through a contract system designed with many options, with fees and various scam-limiting measures. Want to send a ship to an alt? Well enjoy clicking through a dozen confirmation windows before being told the crystals are damaged and you can't do it anyway!
So why not define your alts ingame? Just define your main character to create you group. It can then invite your alts to join. Characters can only join one 'alt group' and the only way to leave it is to transfer the character. Joining the group allows access to assets on all other characters. Now you want to send that ship over? Just right click it and Deliver To the appropriate character. The system could also potentially be used to share evemails - so if you don't have a beefy PC you can still keep watch for important messages from one client instead of several. What about bookmark collections? Right click them (with a sensible limit) and copy them to an alt character!
Accounts that expire continue to be a part of the group, but cannot use any of the integration features (so you can't benefit from keeping an account unsubbed). They regain full use once subscribed again.

this is a good idea, and dont get me wrong... you are an idiot... but i can see this being a good addition some day... HOWEVER... dont you think csms and ccp can use their time better looking at real problems with the game.
i mean ignore the fact that you are perfectly fine with this game becoming more and more boring and tedious (even for yourself) so long as you continue "winning" under some bizzare definition.
there are things which more time should be devoted to than this. . THE ORIGINAL COLOUR POSTER!

The current ingame mechanic to address this issue is called "Player Corporation". It works remarkably well, though you are limited to exchanging goods through the corporate hangar in stations.

This mechanic is based on needing specific roles. So yes, there is an ingame mechanic for this. Just 90% of players can't use it.

Not so neccesary feature... Contracts, trade, give money is a quick actions.
Well, anyway, why so complicated? group chars - and here it is, ane char can use the assets of all another, it's all on station, and in standard assets window, nothing tells that it's not belonging to current character. Well, maybe some tiny icon on the item. ---

Just, no. Besides, I dread to figure out what scammers could achieve with such a tool in their hands...

No.
So let's say Mara and I want to be able to freely trade items between ourselves. What's to stop me from letting her put me in her alt group? Now I can simply "Deliver To" her and we're shuttling things across accounts with no paperwork involved.
The only way I would support this is if it was only available to the other characters on the same account. That would at least make the lives of some people easier, and it would prevent my primary object of easily sharing goods across multiple players without going through the normal methods.
