Greetings,
I am not that familiar with the Alliance side of EVE at all, but I am on SISI regularly and have setup a few trial corporations to get used to all that.
What I would like to do is setup a "shell Corp" - for myself [and any alts - should I reactivate them], then place it in an alliance, so that other persons may nest there corps within the alliance to give the advantages of the corportation but to still keep some levels of separation.
Would this work - cost really isn't an issue and it would be a High-Sec operation, it's simply for organizational purposes not for SOV or such - think mining conglomerate bare-bones style.
Would like to CEO roundtable this with some experienced CEO/Dir types that can shead some light on this, since EVE doesn't seem to have a "Halada's Guide" to all things Corp/Alliance setup and such.
Thanks in Advance

Personally, I would not bother with the whole alliance route unless you are going to do plenty of marketing and get many other corps involved. Plus side of alliances are many more players than you would normally fly with, negative site is lots of politics.
Good luck

Maybe I should be more precise as a means of illumination:
[X] System [0.5 sec]
[my Corp] - my account[s]
the local groups
[A Corp] - a friend and his alts
[B Corp] - another with same
[C Corp] - another again with same
[D Corp] - etc.
Now, being EVE seems to be something of a "everyone starts a corp, then wants to be the CEO and then fills it with alts [much like insurance sales, being someone that sells it to his friends and family, then runs out of clients] there is this little problem of getting people to be in one corp... problem.
Possible solution:
X] System [0.5 sec]
[My Alliance] - [My Corp] - my account[s]
--> Nested Corps [can come and go as they please]
[A Corp] - a friend and his alts
[B Corp] - another with same
[C Corp] - another again with same
[D Corp] - etc.
This should allow for a sort of co-op operation while everyone can keep his or her pet corp w/o having to drop it... would this be ok? or am I seeing it wrong?
Input appreacited to show the benefits and problems of this concept.
Thanks, and appreicated

You can do that if you want, but I wouldn't expect to derive much benefit from it - I personally don't think it would be worth the billion isk alliance formation fee, but to each his own.
How, specifically, do you intend to "cooperate", and why wouldn't you be able to do the same as individual corps?

The only benefits to doing this are:
1. Shared chat channel. You can just create a chat channel and member restrict it to the corps in question.
2. Shared alliance standings.
3. Shared POS lab access.
Beyond that, in highsec, there's nothing you can do as an alliance that you can't do exactly equally as well as separate corps. So, if you use standings or research POS frequently, it'd probably be worthwhile. If not, probably not.
That said, if you just want to do it for some sort of shared sense of identity - go nuts.

This would probably be the number one reason.
We mine and produce, but no one is really making a "killing" because no one can bring themselves to be a "member of someone else's corp.
The other is mutual defense I suppose from periodic WDs, where the whole system basically is at war with.

Unless something has changed since I was last in an alliance (and that's been quite some time), lab/factory slot access in a POS is restricted to corp mates (require corp roles, etc., to access).

ME and PE research can be done by alliance member as long as they don't require material.
