I'm not really sure where to post this, so I'll just leave it here.
I recently created a new corporation, but I do not have any corporate hangars at my HQ station. HQ is in highsec space, at an NPC State Protectorate station.
Am I missing something? Do I need to make divisions before this feature shows up?
Also, I've been in other corps and they have had their own section of the forums at the top of these boards, but I don't see one of those either.
Could use a little help here. Caldari Militia Gÿ£G£½GÿP |

You need to rent office space in a station in order to get the 7 hangars. The names of the hangars will be the same as the divisions you set up, but your corp only gets hangars at the stations where you're renting office space. The cost for rent is determined by how busy the station is, and usually stations with Medical, Refinery, and Manufacturing/Research slots are VERY busy.
As far as forum section, I don't know. Typically, corps have their own forums elsewhere, and I'm not aware of CCP providing forum services to corps. You can design forums to look the same as these, and you can set up an API-controlled access system, so that your private forum checks who is in the corp (via the API) and grants/refuses access to the posts. |

Interesting. I was under the impression that corps were granted hangars at their HQ without having to rent an office. Caldari Militia Gÿ£G£½GÿP |

Having a HQ does not imply having offices, many people make that mistake and pass on this mistaken info. So if you want to have hangars you'll have to rent an office, office rent is based on both the system activity as the station activity and can/will change over time.
To be able to activate your corp forum you need to have a minimum amount of members, iirc it's 15 or so but not sure on this. Amat victoria curam. Excellence in everything.

Thanks for the info.
This creates some logistics issues then, as I'm starting a FW corp. I was hoping to avoid renting offices in lowsec due to the fluctuation of FW systems and station control, so I'll have to figure out something else then. Thanks! Caldari Militia Gÿ£G£½GÿP |

I do have a link to crate my corp forum at the bottom of the forum index, and there's only me and my alt in my corp.
I haven't tried if it works, i don't want to clutter my forums up with something that i don't use. OP, go to the forum index, scroll way down until you see the option to create the corp forums and see what happens when you click it... So... i started an industry blog at www.derbk.com/eve It has a manufacturing guide that is updated almost once every two months! Check it out!

Yeah, I've done that. A window pops up explaining how it works, etc...but when I click OK, nothing happens. No forum is created. I may have to bring an alt into the corp just to see if that's the issue. Caldari Militia Gÿ£G£½GÿP |

You need a minimum of 10 people in your corporation before you can create a "Corporation Forum" here on the EVE-O forums.
The other option would be to make / fund your own forums through a 3rd party system like a lot of corporations already do. Typical CCP. Giving away new clothes but don't have the forums ready to show them.

You can indeed set up your own forums using the tools CCP provides you, but they are rather barren compared to what you can have third party side. The typical private Eve-style forum that CCP has for you contains only three rooms; one for general discussion, a director/CEO only Board Room, and a subforum for Corporation announcements; that's it essentially. |

That has happened to me before. Keep clicking, try different browsers, etc... It took a while, but at one point it worked.... |

Wont work for him
His corp has 2 members which is less than the needed 10 for a CCP corp forum. Typical CCP. Giving away new clothes but don't have the forums ready to show them.

Note also that your HQ location is visible to the public and that it need not be anywhere near where your company actually operates. A useful thing to know if you should find yourself a needless war target, as the less bright people out there will simply head to wherever you claim that your HQ is... which could be on the other side of New Eden.

Very true.
Though in this case I don't think he will mind. The OP said that his corp will be going / is into FW, so that is already a war-dec by itself. And likely he wouldn't mind some extra targets to shoot at. Typical CCP. Giving away new clothes but don't have the forums ready to show them.
