Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.11.27 00:05:00 - [1]
Riela Tanal	Posted - 2005.11.27 05:50:00 - [2] I whole heartedly agree, the lack of Divisional Wallets for the Corp Wallet is irritating, i'd like to set divisional budgets also so my members know what they can spend at any given time. Also, i'd add a suggestion of the ability to get a summary income per month that way we know how much per month, week, day we are making without going through it and adding every individiual sale or expense. Riela Tanal, Senior Director "Never underestimate the element of surprise"
Mesuno	Posted - 2005.11.27 11:13:00 - [3] Also the filters on the corp wallet are useless. My corp has production as well as mission runners. Their taxed bounties push anything production related off the screen in a matter of minutes. We need to be able to remove items from the visible wallet transactions, as well as just view one type of transaction. and need I scream for it again. DIVISIONAL WALLETS. They need to be there and working. My previous corp ended up setting up a totally independent production subsidiary corp because they couldn't keep track of things in the main wallet.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.11.28 18:56:00 - [4] I agree wholeheartedly on the divisional wallet thing. One player with rather modest trade and factory skills is literally generating 200 or so wallet entries a day. Paging through this 25 entries at a time is pretty time consuming. Not to mention the minor little fact that in order to have a player do this job he needs full access to the corp wallet which is a lot of money. Being able to seperate out portions of our corp into seperate wallets as we grow would be very valuable indeed.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.04 21:11:00 - [5] Edited by: Anton Zuber on 04/12/2005 21:15:12 Alright. I have now spent well over an hour making sure this is complete and accurate and I am getting tired of working. I will put more detailed information in for more of this growing list of issues sometime tomorrow. Oh, and of course. If you want to add to this list, share your information on any of these issues or even just show your support for these problems, Be sure to post. Thanks
StarLite	Posted - 2005.12.04 21:23:00 - [6] And we REALLY need an audit log for corp hangars ... ___________________________________________________
Thufur	Posted - 2005.12.04 21:30:00 - [7] As one of the CEO's that helped with input for this, I wholeheartily agree with the need for these changes. The current corp managment tools are really a joke. Also, I would like to see a more simplified or user friendly Roles and Title Management functions. Currently they are very cryptic and hard to figure out and basically have no help guide.
Dragonaire	Posted - 2005.12.04 21:32:00 - [8] Please get more than just the cash account working and the transaction stuff he talked about working. And thanks Anton Zober for starting this
Korbann	Posted - 2005.12.04 21:38:00 - [9] as I have been on the channel listening, I fully agree. /SIGNED

Cantrell	Posted - 2005.12.05 00:35:00 - [11] Even as the CEO of a small core I agree. Especially since my guys usually have to double up on Roles. /signed "Be wary of picking on the small, as he may have big friends."
Korbann	Posted - 2005.12.05 15:02:00 - [12] bumpage, nobody cares about corp managment tools these days? :(
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.05 19:01:00 - [13] Okay. a few minor updates. I finished explaining a couple more bugs in greater detail. Later I will get back and thoroughly explain all the share and voting related problems.
Kuolematon	Posted - 2005.12.05 19:05:00 - [14] Edit topic back ;) .. normal people cannot access this topic otherwise. ________________________________________________________ "@(Hammerhead) but like, I'm not a programmer, I just nerf you guys"
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.06 03:34:00 - [15] Oops... Nuff said. =P
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.06 21:02:00 - [16] Okay. Todays topic is Shares and Voting. I know I was the only voter, but it still says %100 for. WTF? When a vote is passed you will typically see 100% (0/0) or somesuch. This means only that 100% of those who actually voted were for this. This could literally mean one guy with one share voted, and everyone else abstained which would still say 100% (1/1). This is completely unnacceptable. Any vote should at the very least indicate how many people and shares voted, and how many people and shares abstained. How does voting work? My hypothetical horror story right now is one vote, one share, 24 hours with no votes against, I win. What does this mean? It means exactly that. One guy with one louzy share can start a vote for CEO on a nice quiet day when nobody is looking. He then must wait 24 hours for the vote to pass or fail. If nobody votes against, it will pass. NOTE: I have heard that it does require a minimum of 5% to pass a vote. I have been unable to verify or deny this claim yet (I need to train my alt in corp manangement and test this). Even if it is 5% this is still a serious liability since any member with shares can vote to become CEO and then strip the corp of everything if the vote passes. IDEA/Mininum Voter Attendance Basically the problem here is that there is no minimum voter attendance or at least a very trivial one. Where are my shares now? At present, there is absolutely no way to know where your shares are unless you are holding them in your personal or corp wallet. Once they are given out you have absolutely no way of knowing if that person still has them or if they were all given away to random people. This is plainly unacceptable. A corporation should always know exactly who owns shares. How do I sell shares? There is no secure trade for shares unlike everything else in the game. Seeing as how shares are an enormous risk I strongly advise against selling shares at this time. If you did wish to sell shares, you would have to give the shares and HOPE that the player was honest enough to pay you for them. Of course, as things are right now you never know if he might be planning to slip those shares to a mole in your company so he can try a CEO takeover by vote. All it takes is one day when you're not looking and it could easily happen. Also even assuming everything is on the up and up, there are no guarantees of any kind that dividends will ever be paid out on those shares. In fact most corporations in EVE specifically do NOT use shares for doing dividends currently because of the enormous risks that shares represent. --------------------------------------------------------- Alright... I think that's enough ranting for today. If someone can help verify the exact voting rules on shares I would be interested in this information. I know they're quite scarry, I just don't know exactly how scarry. As usual, I will keep updating this as new problems are brought to my attention. I have no intention of shutting up until CCP recognizes these problems and at the very least puts them on the work list.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.09 09:22:00 - [17] Interface glitch in Politics/Votes section. I consistantly get a glitch with votes when I have multiple new votes the first two that I click on to open up and vote on will work correctly. The third one I click on will open and have two buttons to vote, but the buttons will not be clickable. By closing and reopening the corp menu It will correct this glitch for another two votes. Annoying little glitch. Another Interface glitch in Politics/Sanctioned Actions When looking through my sanctioned actions list I noticed that a number of my votes had no text. The grey bar and the down arrows to open the vote were present but the text for the tab was absent. scrolling up and down, resizing the window, etc I was able to get the text to reappear, but whenever I reopen it again I will consistantly have several random tabs with no text. It might be relevant that I have over a screen full of votes for locking down various blueprints. I did not notice this problem when I had less votes in the list.
DaReaper	Posted - 2005.12.10 03:56:00 - [18] i'd like a last logged in feature, so you can tell when members have been active or not.
Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2005.12.10 05:58:00 - [19] Lots of good ideas here. Add my list to it too. the list P.S, didn't know the ceo channels was used Corporation Management Improvement
Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2005.12.10 08:56:00 - [20] Originally by: Anton Zuber Corporate Wallet/Orders: Feature Doesn't exist The lack of this button is plainly unnacceptable. A corporation must have full access to know how its money is being used. The innability to know anything about orders placed with corporate funds is simply outrageous. This tab should be created on the corporate wallet just as it exists on the personal wallet already. It should list all orders placed with corporate funds. It should list who placed each of these orders. As is currently done these orders should still be limited by the trade rules of the player who places the orders and some information about these orders should still be placed in the personal wallet of the player who places these orders. Order in the personal wallet which are using corp funds should be clearly marked as such. Currently they are indistinguishable from personal orders. Originally by: Patch 3582 to 3772 addresses Red Moon Rising, EVE Online's latest Content Edition You should now see the name of traders associated with market transactions made in the name of the corporation in the corporation wallet. Players with role 'Accountant' should be able to see all active market orders issued in the name of the corporation. However, they are not able to cancel or modify them Well, looks like they are granting one request. Corporation Management Improvement
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.12.10 12:30:00 - [21] divisional wallets before anything else as well as up to 25% corp tax
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.10 21:42:00 - [22] Ooh... Sure enough. Johnathan Roark mentioned that some of these are being fixed. I just pulled the relevant lines from the very recently updated list of changes in the next major patch. Good news for us. =)
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.11 20:38:00 - [23] Edited by: Anton Zuber on 11/12/2005 20:40:12 Edited by: Anton Zuber on 11/12/2005 20:39:51 IDEA/Delivery Boy There should be a specific role to allow access to the deliveries hangar. Currently I think this role is packaged with accountant/director. IDEA/TRADER - Sales The trader role should actually be broken up into two seperate roles. One for selling, one for buying. The reason for this is that there is no real security advantage to the trader role, he can still spend every dime your corp owns on fertilizer if he so chooses and keep it for himself. Idea/Trader - Procurement This is simply to flipside to sales. Note that I do not envision this role as having access to the deliveries hangar. That is a seperate role as outlined above. IDEA/Net Worth and Profits This is a bit more complicated than the above ideas. But basically I am hoping for a daily summary sheet for normal corporate information. This sheet should be daily or weekly, peferably both. - Total Sales taken directly from the order sheet. - Estimated total value of unsold products. This is also taken directly from the order sheet. - Estimated total value of corp assets like BPO's - Estimated total value of items stored in the corp hangars. This should be settable for individual hangars since some may not be useful to total up in this fashion. - Expenses. Total of rents and other expenses. All of this is just basic common sense stuff one might find on a normal financial report for a company. I think this may have been planned at one point for the corporation/accounts/journal page but was never implemented. And on that note. I'm done ranting for the day. I've updated the list on the first post to reflect that the trader and invisible orders issues are on the list for the upcoming content patch. While this is good news, there is an awful lot of problems that are still not addressed.
Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2005.12.12 07:20:00 - [24] Originally by: Patch 3582 to 3772 addresses Red Moon Rising, EVE Online's latest Content Edition You should now see the name of traders associated with market transactions made in the name of the corporation in the corporation wallet.

However, they are not able to cancel or modify them Well, looks like they are granting one request. On the first one, doesn't look like its working on the test server yet. The corporation orders is found on a tab in the market window. Odd place to put it, but im glad its in. Corporation Management Improvement

Oveur	Posted - 2005.12.12 11:33:00 - [25] Excellent summary of what's needed. I think it's time for an "Corporation Management Revisited" project. Senior Producer EVE Online

Angelic Resolution	Posted - 2005.12.12 12:25:00 - [26] sweeeet.. movement in the corp problems.... sweeeet :D Btw: make it so you have an 'Apply to all' button for altering corp hangars. Some people you need to give them access to 4 tabs and it just takes for ever going through all the corp hangars @ hq... @ other... based at...
Wukwuk	Posted - 2005.12.12 12:53:00 - [27] While we are at it, a little more interface consistency would be nice: - corp wallet is under the "wallet" menu item but corp assets is buried in the "corp" menu item. Should be a tab in the assets window. - can right click and set waypoint and such from assets but not corp assets or deliveries. - can search assets but not corp assets - the corp assests list should for each station where there are items be sub-divided by division/hangar, with "deliveries" shown as if it were a division.
Wanoah	Posted - 2005.12.12 14:44:00 - [28] Originally by: Oveur Excellent summary of what's needed. I think it's time for an "Corporation Management Revisited" project. Sounds like a great idea! A lot of the corp tools seem to get a bit left behind in favour of the more glamorous shiny stuff like new ships etc. And it's impossible to complain about that because we all like new ships and new ways of using our existing ships, but improved corp management stuff can really make a big difference to people's day-to-day Eve life. Administration can come to dominate gametime if you are the CEO or director of a corp that is successful, especially once it gets larger than about 50 members. Barriers - An Eve Novel
Mesuno	Posted - 2005.12.12 17:09:00 - [29] Wow... Looks like this thread has developed a bit since I last checked it a week or so ago. I'm glad Oveur has taken note too. This is long over due. I'm not a CEO, just a lowly trader responsible for managing production, purchasing and sales. Some more useful features and bug fixes would be a godsend. The other mini feature I would like to see is a way to view recently expired buy and sell orders. Currently once they complete they disappear from the orders screen. On the wallet one order can show as many hundreds of small transactions which makes it hard to work back and figure out what was what. A simple log of old buy and sell orders, maybe as a seperate tab under orders, would really help keep track of whats what and make record keeping much easier. Information needed would be something like Name of item/ Quantity Sold / base price / Gross value / net value (less tax and brokerage) / period remaining / total order period. Each completed order would then join this log of old orders, so for example I could tell at a glance when I nee dto produce more ogre drones, or paradise cruise missiles to sell, without having to scroll through 90 odd active sell orders to work out which is missing. Then just give a 'clear order log' button so when you have everything you need out of it you can clear it again.
TheZiggy	Posted - 2005.12.12 20:10:00 - [30] The list is looking great Something else I'd like to see get some attention is the deliveries page. I'd like to it behave much the same as your own assets window, showing information such as how many jumps, and when you right click the ability to set the system as destination or waypoint. This would make it so much easier to collect deliveries, especially when you have a lot of them.
Ekawar Gehuara	Posted - 2005.12.13 03:15:00 - [31] Thanks Anton for actually taking the time to write up this list, of things we all have been talking about on CEO channel, personally I give you three cheers. Huzzah Huzzah Huzzah
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.13 09:10:00 - [32] Edited by: Anton Zuber on 13/12/2005 09:11:46 Unable to remotely view contents of a hangar array -Johnathin Roark Apparently there is no way to remotely view the contents of a hangar array. This is unacceptable. Unable to remotely view fuel levels of POS. -Johnathin Roark Also we have fuel levels. This should be remotely viewable as well especially with as important as it sounds like fuel is. Automated Corpmail messages are excessively spammy -Johnathin Roark Any automated messages should be configurable. It should be possible to set who gets these messages, and whether or not the messages are sent at all. As things stand currently many of these messages can get excessively spammy. I have heard reports of this causing crashing in some cases. This is completely unacceptable. Corporation End War Contract improvement -Dead Anarchist Allow corporations to set timelimit for war declaration. For example: Corp B declared war against corp A. Corp A surrendered and wants pay 100 kk for war ending. In end war contract corp A can set war timelimit about 1 month. After it B cant declare war against A through 1 month. This is a fine idea. Currently someone can extort you for money for a ceasefire, and then redeclare was 15 minutes later if they so choose after they have your money. This is unnacceptable. Simple binding contract rules for ceasefire are a good idea.
Jaka	Posted - 2005.12.13 19:47:00 - [33] Not really directly associated with corporation management, but to go with all the remote hangar stuff: remotely splitting the stacks so they can be put on escrow.
Sorsha Morai	Posted - 2005.12.13 19:58:00 - [34] Agreed with all the accounting bugs/errors/lack of info divisional wallets! fix the corp roles!

Stuu	Posted - 2005.12.14 12:13:00 - [36] Edited by: Stuu on 14/12/2005 12:15:53 How about POS menu's as well. I dont mean the tower screens which I believe have been updated in RMR but the Corp menu screen. So CEO's / directors can allocate the jobs out and have levels of trust to a number of players, who in turn can progress upwards. Basicly Options 1/ Basic Access (Fuel Manager) - Allow access to fuel / moon minning screens - Allows you to put fuel into the resouces but not remove. - Allows you to anchor and on line but not offline or remove amunition. - Gets all fuel mail warnings 2/ Full access (POS Manager) - Allows full access - Gets Fuel warning + attack warning mails These options allows CEO's / Driecttors to allocate the jobs out and to ensure no one can just turn them off.
Somatic Neuron	Posted - 2005.12.14 18:22:00 - [37] Can we get the expanded Tax functionality that was slated for Shiva/Exodus? Being able to send those taxes to a seperate corp/divisional wallet would be nice (such as setting NPC Bounty taxes to Division 7 Wallet, while sending Market taxes to Division 5 Wallet...would allow you to do things like buy NPC hunting Ammo/supplies from Division 7 wallet, while having reserved funds from Wallet 5 go to purchasing a BPO or something... Also, it would be nice to be able to set taxes based on standings to the corp, so that Player A, who is a member of Corp A, and has a Corp Standing of 5.0 would get taxed at 3%, while Player B, who is also a member of Corp A, and has a Corp Standing of 0.0 (new member) would get taxed at 5%...allows for incentive to get in better standing with the corp. ----------
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.16 07:41:00 - [38] I am not amused.... RMR patch is in and in a last minute addition to the patch list manufactoring and research were radically changed. I am still testing to figure out how some of this works but everything I've checked so far is very bad news. Details to follow.
Zorny	Posted - 2005.12.17 11:43:00 - [39] As Sales-Director I am in need of better tools to calculate things like: - Sales per day/week/month, as ISK sum and as sum of sold products - Sum of products on stock and on sellorders If i could copy and paste tables or at least columns from ingame tables than I could sum up this easily with outgame programs. But this is not working, though whole columns are selectable - they are not copied. This could be an easy way to make Sales and Production Organisation much faster, without implementing many new ingame features. (But atm column selection changes how the table is sorted, this should not happen that when the columns are copied the do not mix up in how they are sorted.) Because I sell and buy stuff with corp money and nobody can see what I spent it for we could need an automatic comment on Corp-Journal wich includes the traded objects. Corp-Orders are now shown under the market-tab but I could use em under my Wallet much better.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.17 20:07:00 - [40] Edited by: Anton Zuber on 17/12/2005 20:08:27 Here is a tentative list of new RMR problems. Unable to cancel factory/lab jobs? I have asked around a lot here. Near as any us regulars in the CEO channel can tell it is not possible to cancel a job in RMR. it should not require hangar/take to use a BPO in a factory Testing the behavior of new roles I quickly learned that it now requires hangar take access to use a BPO. Previously it only required query. This should be fixed. It should Not require rent factory/lab to use a BPO. It apparently also needs rent factory(or lab) to use a BPO which is in a hangar. This means that any blueprint stored in a corporate hangar requrires a pretty heavy list of roles to use in any way, and any rental fees MUST be paid by the corp. This is getting ridiculous. There should be an easy way to set up blueprints so that members may use them for their own personal projects. If a player does not have rent factory (or lab) he should simply need to spend his own money to rent the factory time. All a player should need is query hangar in the hangar where blueprints are stored. If the project is started with personal funds the option should exist to place the results of this project in the players personal hangar. Projects started with corporate funds should always be placed in a corporate hangar. However. Since these are corporate blueprints in a hangar any job created with them should be considered to be a corporate job regardless of who is footing the bill for the factories. Any factory manager should be able to cancel these jobs if the blueprint is needed elsewhere. Naturally unfinished portions of the current job should be at least partially refunded to the player who started the job. Corporation/Accounts/Assets/Jobs appears to be obsolete now This page should maybe be removed. Wallet/Corp Wallet/Orders still does not exist I am aware that this information can be found in the market window, but this information should be duplicated here to be consistant with the existing order menus. The orders list should list the total value of all unsold products. It is necessary in a busieness to understand where your money is. In this case we are talking about money that is tied up in unsold products. In our modest corp we always have 20 active orders, and even this small amount is a heavy chore to tally up everything. I cannot imagine doing this with a larger corporation it would simply take too long. All we are asking for is for the orders page to total up the value of all products on the page. The number of units is there on the page. The set price is there. It is not hard to take the next step here and let the client total this list up for you automatically. What does the factory Manager role even do now? Still looking. But I don't see that this role even means anything now. It should be necessary only to cancel active jobs. Supply/Demand for factory/lab slots has changed dramatically I absolutely HATE the new system here for a corporation. I have literally been locked out of labratories in our HQ system because they are now all rented up for many days to come. This is highly inconvenient. Prior to the patch we had six labs which we were using 24/7. Now we will be lucky to schedule time on one sometime this week, and the price to do so is considerably higher than what we were doing before. Costs have gone up considerably for Factory/Lab rental. The cost changes at stations seem quite arbitrary and in nearly all cases they seem to be dramatically higher. I have shopped around for someplace reasonable to do material efficiency work and I quickly learned that there are simply no slots available for this in the entire region without venturing into unsecure space or paying outrageous hourly rates. This is unacceptable.
Schiklegruber	Posted - 2005.12.17 21:00:00 - [41] Excellent ideas mentioned here. Even if some are difficult to implement, I would really be happy if there is a possibility to set up different accounts in the corp wallet, to facilitate a corp long term goals. Being able to transfer $ to a different account used for example on the more expensive corp acquisitions would be lovely. Corp management is what put's this game above all others, so it can use some luvvin' .
Chakindra	Posted - 2005.12.17 21:05:00 - [42] I wholeheartedly second the suggestions put forward in this thread, but this one is an old favourite of my own: Originally by: Wukwuk - can right click and set waypoint and such from assets but not corp assets or deliveries. We REALLY need that. Signed, Chakindra CEO of Deadzone Innovation Enterprises Fearless Leader of Ebil Minions "We speak softly and carry large tachyon beams."
Soltaria Gonte	Posted - 2005.12.17 22:30:00 - [43] All of them are things that should be fixed, and the ideas would be very nice to have implemented at some point. This thread wins. Originally by: Tac Anderson The font is making baby jesus cry. Really. Right before his birthday too...you guys are mean.
Jaka	Posted - 2005.12.17 23:35:00 - [44] Anton Zuber: My experience shows that hangar take access is not required to use BPs. Convo me ingame to discuss this further, perhaps we can find smth out.
Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2005.12.18 20:58:00 - [45] Originally by: Jaka Anton Zuber: My experience shows that hangar take access is not required to use BPs. Convo me ingame to discuss this further, perhaps we can find smth out. Are you sure, because all my testing post RMR says it is required. I really dont want to lock down all those bpos. Corporation Management Improvement
Jaka	Posted - 2005.12.18 21:20:00 - [46] I'm 100% sure. But in my case, roles are given through titles and not directly. Perhaps you should try that.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.19 00:41:00 - [47] Edited by: Anton Zuber on 19/12/2005 00:42:05 Okay. I think I understand the problem now. It requires take privelage for the materials/from hangar which you must set. This needs to be set even for research that uses no materials. You do not seem to actually need take privelage for the blueprints hangar itself, the error messages are very missleading here. Also. Note that if you do not have take privelage in the blueprints hangar, you will not be able to see them in the corporate blueprints menu. you must instead go to the hangar which contains the blueprints, and right click on the appropriate blueprint to start the job. This aspect of the problem I consider to be a bug.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.19 00:57:00 - [48] Before I forget again... Someone pointed out that in the old system the ME and PE level of blueprints was listed in the top level when you selected the blueprints so that you did not need to go and show info on a few hundred blueprints to figure out which ones still need to be researched. This went away with RMR and is sorely missed. This should be added back to all relevant places where blueprints can be seen such as... Science & Industry/Corp Blueprints Science & Industry/Blueprints Any Corp/Personal Hangar containing Blueprints Corporation/assets/lockdowns Basically I want to see this added to all blueprints at the top level. The blueprints should appear following this pattern... Hammerhead I ME:100 PE:21 EMP M ME:59 PE: 0 This is pretty simple. All we are really asking here is to not need to have to right click on literally hundreds of blueprints to see this extremely basic information about the blueprint.
Thufur	Posted - 2005.12.20 01:58:00 - [49] /signed on the new stuff and a bump
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.20 21:26:00 - [50] Jr Accountant does not give access to view the corp orders list. This should probably be changed.
Potvora Oskliva	Posted - 2005.12.22 15:42:00 - [51] For the corporation wallet I would also love to see a option to export the whole wallet journal log into a CSV. The statistical tools for checking how the corp is doing financially and how the members of the corp are adding to corp's account are next to non existant atm. The whole corporation management part is IMHO in need of almost complete overhaul... But I sign in full the original list as well...
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.24 19:59:00 - [52] Heh. Well it is my hope to actually get enough tools in so that you don't NEED to export your financial sheets to an external file just to total them up. These are just things the system should do for you. We can already load most of the raw data, it's not much of a step to let the client total that information up. Mind you, It certainly wouldn't hurt to be able to export the data too.
Potvora Oskliva	Posted - 2005.12.24 21:37:00 - [53] No offence taken, it would be super sweet to have all the tools needed for the corp management included in the UI. But from the developper's point of view, rebuilding UI takes time. Fitting in a CSV exporting button that would flush the journal into a user readable and parseable CSV (i mean no ID's but actual data that are 'readable') would take much less time IMHO... :)

Alberto	Posted - 2005.12.26 20:28:00 - [55] Correct Share splits The problem with the create shares feature is that it robs us of our stake in a company if more shares are created. The percentage that we own would shrink vs. the total percentage outstanding. Shares Outstanding As of now we can only cerate up to 10,000,000 shares. We need to be able to split shares at lest up 999,999,999,999,999 trillion

Alberto	Posted - 2005.12.27 03:47:00 - [57] Corp. ticker symbols and dissolving a corp. for good??? Why is their no way to terminate a corp. for good? I have created and ended 5 corp. in my time in eve and I still have shares from some of them. Why donÆt the shares just disappear?????? Another thing is the ticker symbols for these 5 corp.Æs can never be used again by any one!!!! Why???? ArenÆt ticker symbol only used for stock markets?
Jenna Malone	Posted - 2005.12.27 11:29:00 - [58] I'd like multiple cash accounts, which I can assign to buy and sell orders. If a certain account runs out of money, you'll be denied your sales. For instance I'd like to have my mineral business on a different account than my main account. If I'm out of money, I transfer surplus from the mineral account into my main account. The same time I want accounts for all other business, like building and what's it.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.12.27 11:33:00 - [59] A WAY TO MANAGE INACTIVES - DAYS SINCE LAST LOGIN - TAHT WAY IF U HAVE A CORP MEMBER AND THEY VANISH U CAN SET A TIMEFRAME IE 1 MONTH 2 MONTHS ETC AND IF THEY VANISH WITHOUT NOTIFICATION THEN U CAN SIMPLY REMOVE THEM Tracking inactives now is a time tedious method - it would require minimal data - just have it accessible for corp CEos and directors as well as personel manager - if they dont log in (35 days at my corp) then u can see that info and remove them from the corp Everything else on this list though is very much needed - CCP we know u dont like going indepth and fixing things in a proper manner - u know allergic to basic bugs and the need to rush through things and then find they are bugged to neverland. But please allow CEOs to better manage their corp with working elements - otherwise youre dream of player corps being the mainstay instead of NPC corp members will fade as corps dissolve and more NPC corp players result Im a happy little camper now - CCP 4tw.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2005.12.27 21:29:00 - [60] Okay. I've just updated the list. several new ideas I see in here which sound like pretty good ones to me. Appreciate the support folks.
Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2006.01.01 02:09:00 - [61] Currently, maintaining standing is a big pain. It would be very cool if we could import a list of standing changes. Also, an export feature would be a plus too. Corporations can not set standing toward an entire alliance. Alliances can not set standing toward a sigle corporation. This needs to change. Also, a reset all standings feature. Corporation Management Improvement
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.02 22:43:00 - [62] Now that things are a bit crazy with all the server overload nonsense from RMR and the holidays are winding down into the new year, I just have one thing to say.... bump
Eethrak	Posted - 2006.01.02 23:43:00 - [63] /signed One thing that I think ought to be added is some sort of warning that "Container Access" allows members with that role to request the passwords set on containers as well as move them about. This has consequences beyond the scope of Eve. We all know we shouldn't use important passwords for something like that. But we all know people who do/would. Some warning that this role had this power might prevent potential ingame or even outgame problems.

Eethrak	Posted - 2006.01.03 19:15:00 - [65] Another thing thats come up is that being able to release impounded equipment from the corp assets window might be useful. Iirc, released equipment then goes to your personal hangar - fixing this so that it goes to corp deliveries would also be good - particularly if the delivery boy role were implemented. That way we can get some of the monkeys to go get our things back. ahem I mean valued employees of course....
Selak Zorander	Posted - 2006.01.03 19:29:00 - [66] to expand this a little (i know ift could be seen as slightly off topic) but the limit of 25 transactions for the current day is not only a corp wallet but a personal wallet problem. Simple test. Find and get a Pirate Extraveganza mission (lvl 3 or lvl 4). Now buy ammo for the mission or any crap item on market. Complete the mission and get reward from the agent. Now try to find the amount of isk you spent on the ammo/crap item in the transactions tab. Its not there. You may be able to find it in the journal by limiting the type of transaction but you wont see it until tomorrow on the transactions tab. Of course if your corp has a tax then the same mission will nearly push a factory job spend amount off the page. Image trying to track production during the time you prime agent mission runners are doing missions and you NPC rat hunters are out in 0.0. Good luck seeing those transactions if they are more than an hour old.

I'd also would like the option of trashing impounded property without cost. Most of the stuff that has been impounded from our corp is just we dind't care about. It would be a waste of isk to release it, but its cluttering up the database and our other impounded property list. Corporation Management Improvement
Joshua Foiritain	Posted - 2006.01.07 21:20:00 - [68] A few suggestions i didnt see listed in the original topic; - More corp hangars. - More room for titles. - Ability to lock down non-bpo items in a hangar (Ie locking down a carrier in the general shipyard hangar so only the people with the password can take it) Or the ability to store assembled ships in Containers - Audit logs on hangar - Ability to remove autolock and to enable autostack & auto repackage of corp hangars and station containers. -------------

Audit log on hangers would be wonderful. This gives me another idea, how about the ability to quick lock. Instead of using votes, make it role based. Corporation Management Improvement

Thraxed	Posted - 2006.01.09 05:17:00 - [72] Well I have to say that I agree with everything put forth thus far in this thread. As the active CEO of my corp for the last two and a half years I've seen a lot of things promised in regards to the corp managment issue. I can add a few additional items to this list like being able to input minerals and output from/to personal hangars from corp BPOs if the member has access or cry foul on not reducing the threshold on bounties taxed (still 40k) after reducing rat bounties across the board. I would like to instead ask that CCP take a REALLY strong look at increasing the flexiblity of corporation models as a whole. As it stands, outside of the overall mission of a corp (industrial, pvp, pirate, ect.), size, and competence of working with these limiting tools are all that differenciate one corp from another. There are basic concepts that could be added to the game that could DRAMATICALLY enrich the player experience for people in player founded corps. Taxes would be a start, as would things like salaries. We're being encouraged to constantly reach for higher goals with things like outposts and capital ships, yet we are still being hampered by a very limited set of corp managment options. I honestly can't think of a set of new features that could be so easily implemented that would have such a large impact on the quality of play in EVE. That being said, I know a lot of these issues proposed in the prior posts have come up as a former member of the Council of Stellar Managment almost 2 years ago. I would hope that the devs would recognize what a positive effect this would have for the enjoyment of the player base. If they do, I would offer any assistance I can to help them bring these changes to fruition.
Zaraki	Posted - 2006.01.09 09:21:00 - [73] Where are my shares now? At present, there is absolutely no way to know where your shares are unless you are holding them in your personal or corp wallet. Once they are given out you have absolutely no way of knowing if that person still has them or if they were all given away to random people. This is plainly unacceptable. A corporation should always know exactly who owns shares. Well in irl a corporation "dont know who own shares" Im dont see thats any point too implent that into eve. However I want too know where and how the shares leave the corp wallet and who took them
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.09 20:57:00 - [74] Uh huh. IRL companies write and mail out these things called Dividend checks. These dividend checks are mailed out to shareholders. How exactly do you think these checks get to the right place if the corporation doesn't know who those shareholders are? Do you think they mail out dividen checks all willy nilly to random people? =P Look. It's simple, it's not much to ask for to know who your shareholders are. And it's only common sense that this information would be available. Also, good work everyone supporthing the thread. The original post is actually rather full and I'm going back and looking at it for ways to further condense down the text we have so I can fit on more of these ideas I'm seeing here. Keep the ideas coming folks.

Corporation Management Improvement
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.12 00:26:00 - [76] Sigh. Let me put this in smaller words. Corporations sometimes pay dividends out to shareholders. This requires them to mail a check to every person who owns a share of their company. In order to do this, it is necessary to know exactly who owns how many shares. Without this information the entire concept of a dividend payment is actually impossible. This is not a hard concept folks. Dividend payments means giveing money to shareholders. This Requires you to actually know who those shareholders are. Duh?
Thraxed	Posted - 2006.01.12 20:12:00 - [77] ok here is a minor silly thing that is driving me insane: Locking down many bpos in the same vote. (indivually voting on each bpo takes forever, bring out the multiselect)

Who is buying and who is selling is definitely always tracked. Of course, some investors use straw men like for instance small companies created for the sole purpose of buying shares. So it CAN be hard to tell who's really behind a stock purchase, but someone always have to register the trade. But you can work around this issue in the same way in EVE. Just use straw men or other corporations you control. IF a shares market is introduced, that is.
Raven Aure	Posted - 2006.01.21 08:20:00 - [81] /signed As a CEO, corp management makes my head hurt. It also takes up a lot of my time.

Johnathan Roark	Posted - 2006.01.23 08:24:00 - [82] I have another item to put on the list. I would like to be able to offer my members a commision for selling items for our corporation. Basically, id like to be able to set a percentage of the sell to go to the member when they have the use corp wallet selected. The member should also be able to decline the commision if they choose, probably just another check box on the sell order. Corporation Management Improvement

Somatic Neuron	Posted - 2006.01.23 16:24:00 - [86] I would like to see a concept similar to loyalty points being added to corporations and alliances as an optional feature. In this way, a member could perform a valuable service (such as an important mission, or major donations, etc.) and gain loyalty points. Corp/Alliance leadership could then assign offers to loyalty points that allowed those loyalty points to be turned in for something of value later on. Also, automatic standings system could be implemented that would be used to reduce tax rates (configurable) ----------

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.24 23:40:00 - [92] Lovely... just locked up the client trying to 'deliver' a research job. Let me see if I can nail down the details on this one. Done it twice in a row the same way so it's reproduceable.
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.25 00:13:00 - [93] Hummm... Okay Here's the deal. Apparently it no longer requires any roles whatsoever to see jobs and blueprints. However if you lack the correct roles to deliver a job the client will lockup when you attempt to do so. I also tried remotely delivering the roles as a CEO although I lack the skills for remote factory stuff. Because I lack those skills this also froze the client. Bar starts, bar gets half-way. Popup appears telling me I lack remote factory skills. Bar completes and stops but the window remains. Client is frozen and remains frozen. Suffice to say. I'm not amused with the new lockup bug. =P

Omber Zombie	Posted - 2006.01.25 11:29:00 - [95] some things I wouldn't mind being added: The ability to select multiple corp members (like the new recycle/refine screen) this would allow multiple people to be assigned the same roles/titles or strip them, or even eject from corp. Would save a massive amount of time for corps that have to regularly clean out corp members or change titles. New role: not sure of a name for it, but allows people to reclaim items that were impounded. Message of the Day for corp channels. Corp Mail folders, assignable as roles. Means you can send corp mails to specific parts of the corp depending on who has access (as much as i like mailing lists, they tend to be pretty open to anyone that can guess their name) ---------------------- Originally by: Seleene I maintain that OZ is evil and have nothing further to add.

Ralitge boyter	Posted - 2006.01.26 08:31:00 - [97] Originally by: Anton Zuber - A corporation should always know who owns shares I think that might be a little extream, but when a certain group (corporation, Alliance or single player) manages to obtain 30% or more of the shares they should be forced to make them selfs known, below that no one should be forced to make known their investments. Of course 4 single players that together own 30% of a corp and are all part of a certain alliance should be seen the same as when the alliance owns 30% of the shares. ------------------------------------------- Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me.

But corps that issue shares only have themselves to blame if the CEO doesnt hold more than 51% of the holdings to hold off a hostile takeover Holding 51% of shares is not enough, as already mentioned in this thread, the problem is that you have to hold 51% AND check in at least every 24 hours to prevent someone kicking off a vote with a 1 day timeframe and you missing it. They can have 0.001%, you have 99.999% shares, you are counted as abstaining if you dont vote. There really ought to be a quorum for votes introduced, this would bypass the nightmare-ish scenarios.
Eethrak	Posted - 2006.01.26 14:12:00 - [101] (Sorry for being spammy, I'm making posts as I read things here or think of them.) I've been thinking about the corp mail box. The current implimentation seems to be that everyone is looking at the same mail box, rather than an area within your own inbox. This sort of makes sense, since there is no point in storing multiple copies of the same message when one copy for all corp members will suffice. HOWEVER, when corp messages get deleted, they get deleted for everyone, so someone who turns up after two weeks offline for example will be missing things depending on how often a corp clears out their inbox. Also, it seems that the "delete sender" option in your personal email space also affects the corp space, which seems pretty stupid. E.g. I don't want all my training complete emails, so I delete sender on myself, which removes the last couple of corp updates that I have sent round. This seems very broken. What I'd like to see is the corp-mail function integrating as a folder within each person's own mailbox, so we can delete mail when we've read it without regard for anyone else, since they have their own copy. If however that will cause too much load for storage and processing mailshots to each member of a corp, the bare minimum that has to happen is for delete sender to only apply to your personal space, and the introduction of a popup saying YOU ARE ABOUT TO DELETE THIS MESSAGE FROM EVERY MEMBER - CONTINUE? when you try to delete a corp message. Even with a do not ask again button, at least the functionality of the system is much more transparent this way.

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.01.27 23:40:00 - [104] Communications officers allows you to delete messages in 'corp mail'. messeges deleted are deleted for everybody. Anybody in the corp may post to corp mail.
SweatySack	Posted - 2006.01.28 11:35:00 - [105] Not sure if these have been mentioned or not but Maybe have a setting for corp wallet spending that needs approval from the CEO. Say if it is set at 20 isk, then corp member/director can use 1-19 isk but anything 20 or higher would need approval from a CEO. Not that great of an idea really, but all I could really think of.

You should be able to set the dates to summarize and it should be itemized by transaction type (market transaction, broker fee, ect). Also, you should be able to export wallet data to a file. If I could have all this in a txt file so I could dump it into excel, searching my personal wallet and corp wallet history would be much much simpler.

Add ability to post escrow orders in the name of the corp. All fees and transaction should use corp wallet. Allow players to start BPO jobs ( ME, PE, Copy, etc ) in the name of the corp without the corp being forced to have an office in that particular station, allowing the corp to pickup the costs associated with the job.
Pro Hoe	Posted - 2006.02.11 08:52:00 - [113] SHARE SPLIT I am in dire need of a share split feature because of the limitations of stocks. I am having to make an entire online stock app just to share stocks publicly. It has been extremely successful selling stocks to members of my own corp. The major problem is when shares reach a certain value of trade. They need to be split. Well in order to split now I have to keep a running tally of everyone that has stocks and also a tally of who they were sold to. This is done with the online app and registration. A share split would make it simple. "click the split button" X person with 10 shares now has 20 shares. Corp with 1000 shares now has 2000 shares. price of share = 1/2 original price. Easy impliment from a program standpoint. Thanks!

(for escrow and trading) - Right click features like 'set destination' for Corp Assets. - Uploadable Corp Logos (with approval maybe?) (This is hard to manage.) - Corp Logos and Ship names as art on your ship image (NO! DEFINATELY not.) New problems with the RMR patch - CLIENT LOCKUP! When trying to "deliver" a job, if you lack any necessary roles or skills... - Unable to cancel factory/lab jobs? (Factory Manager) - Corp Blueprints are fully visible to all members.

I added my comments in underline above. I agree with everything in that list that I didn't comment on. As for the shares, I think the corp CEO/Director/Accountant should know who has how many shares, but no other share changes should be made. I'm a CEO, and even though I manage a very small corporation, I find it difficult to manage-- now what will happen when my member count exceeds 30 members? 50? 100? I hope these changes are implemented, but some of them (corp logos on ship? honestly, let's not get 12-year-old WoW into EVE....) are just rediculous. Packtu'sa

Packtu'sa	Posted - 2006.02.12 07:02:00 - [116] Originally by: Johnathan Roark Problem with this is it can easily get out of hand and eat up resouces. Plus, I know very little about coding, but I can only imagine how hard this would be to code. Actually, it's almost no extra resource load. Since the current database has to store empty tables for hangar and title data even for corps that are empty, there is a whole lot of drive space that is simply wasted with empty tables. Yes, every time a new hangar was created, a new row in a table would have to be created-- but new rows are made all the time. Every time you split a stack, every time you buy something from the market, every time you send an EVE-mail, every time you... the list goes on, and hundreds (or even thousands) of new rows are made per second in EVE. Originally by: Johnathan Roark As for logos, its a way to show loyality to your corp. Many people put stuff in there bio about this. Yeah, I think LOGOS would be good, and put the logo in a little bordered plate-- but no ship names, that would get ugly. The only issue with logos is this: if the image isn't cached, the freeze-up when new ships warp in (or you warp into them) could really add up and become a serious problem.

Kipkruide	Posted - 2006.02.12 09:30:00 - [117] OKz here my five cents for the list, corp tax should be able to be set from 0-100% on a corporate vote, all financial transactions should be taxable, as was promised before. Atm all character history dissapears for people who leave corp making it very hard to track down thieves, so we need this information to be availabel for all peeps who are and were in corp. Also we need a list of peeps who left corp availbale in the members section of corporate tools, atm only the ceo gets mails that he deletes anywayz, so no history of peeps who left corp. I'm totally for audit logs on hanger, would solve the whole thieving problem in one go. I understand that this would prob be very DB intensive so suggest limiting it to 1 of the 7 corp hangers, most usefull for where the expensive stuff is anywayz, for the rest you can use audit cans. Vote on all functionality. Handy on bpo lockdowns. Also the ability to lock down a hanger of bpo's in one go , doing it one by one is fecking torture, so lockdown in right click menu please.
Packtu'sa	Posted - 2006.02.12 17:18:00 - [118] Votes should not be required for lockdown or taxrates... it's simple enough for a corp CEO to put up a custom vote about the tax rate, and then change it accordingly. Audit logs for corp hangars wouldn't put terribly much load on the server, I don't think... new rows all the time, yes, but as long as logs had to be retrieved the way wallet journals are, the SELECT load wouldn't be too much.

Archangel Deck	Posted - 2006.02.17 07:06:00 - [121] For corp wallet and personal wallet i would like to see an export option plus a tax summery, and also a way to filter things out, ie Bounty Prize For many of u who have a corp and deal with the corp wallet u see page after page after page of Bounty Prize from all ur members and their npcing, i would like to be able to have the option to have the wallet show how much tax u have gotten from each person in the last day/week/month and maybe even total, so u could set ur wallet load it and u would see how much tax u have gotten in that day from ur members, would make it alot easier than seeing 20 pages of tax for one days worth of npcing _____________________________

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.02.24 07:28:00 - [124] How slowly the development world moves. Ah well. In current news my modest little corp seems to have dried up and died on me so I don't personally have any guinea pigs ... cough ahem I mean fellow corp members to test things with. I am still very interested in seeing the Corp tools reworked. Several points I am rather sore about still are.... Unable to cancel factory and research jobs. Unable to remotely view the contents of a container Numerous problems with the accounting tools. For now I'm pretty much giving up on trying to run a corp. I will await a day when there are better tools for the job.
Eethrak	Posted - 2006.02.25 01:22:00 - [125] Corporation/Asset/Office listing should show what hangar equipment is in. Particularly irritating given that we now have remote industry skills, but cant see where resources are being stored in a remote location. Remote buying at corp offices goes to the delivery hangar, but given we now have remote sci/ind, can we get remote deliver (or just bypass deliver when the corp has an office in the station) to stop people having to run into the office, be given trader role (or possibly Delivery Boy proposed) and drop the items into the hangar. Its an overcomplication when the corp has an office in the same station. Corp blueprints need to be used once to appear in the sci/ind list, essentially unpacked. Also needs the same to be locked down. Seems kind of unnecessary. Reason field on standing changes to players does not show entered reason, shows "Player set" or "Corp set" dependant on whether its corp->X or player->X standing being changed, and not the reason that was entered when the standing was changed. Would like to see much more abilities for exporting to external programs. The one aspect that now implements this is one of the more pointless areas. /sign to everything thats been added since the last time i /signed too.

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.02.26 18:37:00 - [127] Found an interesting quirk. Now we all know you cannot edit, cancel, or in any way affect corporate orders placed by other members of your corp, Or can you? Apparently, if you strip the accountant/trader roles from a member it immediatelly cancels every order they have out there for the corp. This is unexpected and kind of obnoxious really. It would be much better if there was simply a role that had the rights to cancel and possibly modify ALL corporate orders. Also there should be an appropriate warning for stripping the accountant/trader roles since this apparently has a pretty profound effect.
Pepperami	Posted - 2006.02.26 22:47:00 - [128] I posted my wallet desires in a new thread before reading the sticky (way to go me). I really look forward to the corp management being revisted, I can't stress how much this would help both my corp and alliance (for instance, income off a conquerable station should be redirectable so I can forward money onto an alliance "wallet" easily without guesswork) I hope this gets worked on soon :) [Art of War][- V -]

Corp Scammer	Posted - 2006.02.27 12:29:00 - [133] to the last post totally agree better placement would be an idea Days since last login for all members in youre corp (wil help with inactives and players that are placed as spies then left dormant until a few months later) if they dont log in for a month then u know how long its been in days and can kick em Divisional wallets to match the current rights and roles grantable that exists. Half implemented cr*p needs fixing ASAP Otherwise a lot of good ideas on this thread up to 30% corp tax (perhaps corp vote by majority of active members) to raise above 20%.

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.02.28 02:16:00 - [134] - CLIENT LOCKUP! When trying to "deliver" a job, if you lack any necessary roles or skills... Is still on the list because the problem is not really resolved. While it is true that many have learned through trial and error and or word of mouth that you can (usually) get around this by pressing escape, this is still completely unnacceptable. This popup progress bar should not even appear in the first place if a player lacks the necessary roles and or skills to perform an action. And in the event that it does appear, it should not ever under any circumstances require the player to press escape to make it go away. If it is necessary to include a way to remove this broken progress bar add a cancel button to it don't expect us to guess how to get it to clear.

Andargor
Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.03.04 18:41:00 - [144] Okay Andargor, seen and noted. I hesitate to include a couple of your ideas however. First the stockmarket ideas. I agree with these and most of them are already there, but some of the more advanced concepts here such as hostile takeovers and mergers really need to be put on a shelf somewhere until the shares and voting system itself works reliably. I'd rather not confuse CCP with this or they might just be crazy enough to actually give us that now before even bothering to fix the voting system which would be a cataclysm in the makings. The other one I'm hesitant to include is your request to be able to be a CEO of two different companies. I simply don't agree with this. You should belong to one corp only. period.
Andargor theWise	Posted - 2006.03.04 20:41:00 - [145] Thanks Anton. I realize that some ideas are more popular than others, and wasn't expecting a total approval of my suggestions. I agree with you that some basic things need to be fixed first. The rest, mergers, acquisition, etc., are another dimension that I simply feel is missing from the game. Perhaps in due time. Andargor
Da'iel Zehn	Posted - 2006.03.04 22:31:00 - [146] Some work needs to be done on voting and paying out dividends. 1) Unissued shares should not vote with the CEO. 2) When you choose to pay dividends it should be divided only among shares that have been issued. Currently it pays out to uninssued shares and the corporation just gets the funds back.

It doesnt' matter what corp the shares are for. If a corp owns shares, then the corp should be able to voice its opinion on those shares. CEO would be the only member with the authority to voice that opinion. I haven't researched this, but isn't that how it works in RL? Also, why assume those shares are unissued in the corp wallet?

The CEO, President, Board of Directors and any other officers work for the shareholders. It may happen that an officer will also be a shareholder, but it can also be just an employee. It all depends on the conditions under which the officer came to work for the company, and what the shareholders gave them. This said, a corporation in RL can own shares. In fact, it is common practice for a corporation to buy back shares to reduce the number in circulation. It is the opposite of issuing shares: instead of seeking funding, you are consolidating the remaining shareholders' position. Whether the corporation keeps the shares or not, any votes are still based on the shareholders. The corporation is not a shareholder, but the expression of the will of the shareholders. So it doesn't matter whether they still exist or not. (They are actually a piece of paper... a certificate) An interesting thing to add as well in EVE, is options... This way you could recruit new members by giving them options, vesting over the next months. Andargor

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:01:00 - [151] The thing with shares currently is that voting is so incredibly broken that it is simply not worth the risk to pass out shares. one share can win a vote even if your corp has 100000000000000000 shares. All that shareholder needs to do is propose a vote, if nobody votes against it. 1 share wins. Some roles are necessary for some kinds of votes, but any member can always vote for the most dangerous vote of all, to become CEO. There is no accountability for shares. If they're not in your wallet you have NO information whatsoever to know where they might be. When a vote is passed, it doesn't tell you how many shares voted and how many abstained. it only tells you the percentage of votes for and against ignoring any abstained votes. 100% for, can mean 1 vote, or it can mean 10,000 votes. Long story short here. voting with shares is so incredibly broken I strongly advise against giving anyone shares, let alone trying to sell them to people or something.

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.03.11 18:00:00 - [161] " Corp tickers with zero members should be deleted. Shares too " Flummox raises a point, so I think I should explain a bit better. The main problem with this is that corp tickers and corp names remain tied up permamently. If a corp completely disbands the corp name and corp ticker should be released so that they may be used again. I agree that a deleted corp should not be removed from your employment history, and any show info inquiry into it should indicate that the corp has been deleted and when. As for clearing the shares. I see absolutely no point in the shares remaining, although I guess it's harmless enough to leave them in as long as the name and corp ticker are removed. And as always. thanks for the support everyone.
Ramius Monteagne	Posted - 2006.03.15 03:59:00 - [162] The one thing I would Like to see is greater expansion od the Division capabilities for a corp. Allowing a division to have alot of the same functionalities that a Corp has. What I mean is that Corps can create a Division, Assign members to that division. A division can rent it's own offices and has it's own set of Titles and roles that work only on Divisional 'Assets' or against Divisional Wallet. This would mean that a Corp member can potentially have 2 sets of roles, his 'Corp' Roles and his 'Divisional' Roles. Division could get their own Chat channel as well. How many corps have split off parts o their corp into seperate corporations because of the limitations of 7 hangers and the security settings on them. Usually this is done to allow the 'Fleet' aspect of the corp to have better control over access to their combat ships and equipment. But it also creates a number of administration issues for managing the 2 corporations. By giving 'Divisions' more power this will also mean that a greater level of trust can be fostered in Corporations. You may not trust XXX to be a Factory Manager for the entire coporation but he can certainly be a Factory Manager for a Division. I am unsure about allowing corp members to be in more than 1 Division, I can see the benefits, but as a programmer I also know the additional programming and database storage overheads that this will create.

If a guy quits eve and he/she has shares, his account will be there forever (if i'm not mistaken) so the shares this account has are also lost. I plea for the fact if you leave a corp your shares will be automaticaly go back to the corp, If an account has not logged on to eve for more then 6 months his shares must go back to corporation. I'v lost several shares this way, it still sais corp has xxxx shares, but i know a few accounts from my corp who really quited EVE but htey still own shares, so they are lost.

Stryder Unknown	Posted - 2006.03.25 04:30:00 - [175] Theres really 2 options. 1: Fix the current Division system Spend alot of time fixing the current "broken" divisional system, which could mean alot of work. I don't know if it's the case but if a programming project has had "Spacers" for this long, it's possible that the original Dev team that had plans for the divisional system might have wandered to greener pastures, leaving it a little obscure for a new sub-team to undertake. This means alot of time planning database arrays to be ergonomic enough not to cause DB overloading etc. which will mean if it was decided we won't see it finished next week. 2: Create "Divisional" Alliances My thoughts are based on the current Alliance system which could either be used as a work around (if it didn't cost 1bil ISK to setup and millions to run each month) or to create a system similar to the Alliance System for formatting corporations. You'd simply create a Division like you would a new corporation, however you wouldn't have to declare a name for it or a Logo. It's account system would function just like a Standalone corporation. The Difference would be you would gain a "Division Channel" in chat and a "Division" mailing list. These would deal with any Chatter or communication within that Division. The Corporation Channel and Corporation Mailing list would be a bit like the Alliance system, where you would have Multiple Divisions making up the corporation and the corp channel being the common chat channel between all of them. Division's would not be able to Leave the Corporation system like a Corporation would an Alliance, however Divisions could be closed down. This would mean there would have to be a "root" corporation structure, where Corporate members and corporate owned products/modules etc would have to be placed should a division close. I think this system would work because it's very similar to the already used Alliance system and it would mean that alot of the redundant broken features of the Corporation screen and wallet could be cleared out.

Maybe making editing be restricted to specific roles. This would allow corps to have news boards / intel sharing means withough spamming corp chat / mail.

Loni Jones	Posted - 2006.04.03 20:56:00 - [180] Winning with one vote is impossible in most corporations due to one not so minor detail. Anytime vote notifications are sent out there are also proxy ballots sent out that usually read, 'If not returned, the xxx (insert officer of choice) retains the proxy for these shares'. Thus in order for a person to win a vote they would need to notify at least the CEO and board, and overcome the inertia of all of the proxied votes. This might make passing votes too hard, so 30% of the votes might be assumed to return 'Abstain' votes.

This way we can keep our number of corp members down, and not cause of CEO to have to learn Mega Corp 5 just to keep up with the size of our corp. We'd like to be able to say 'If you've not been active for 30 days' you will be temporarily removed from the Corp, to save slots on the number of Corp members in a corp. Right now we have to resort to taking a census, by having each corp member donate an isk to me so we can get an accurate headcount of whom is and isn't active. Pain in the neck if you ask me. This has to be something that is tracked by CCP, and should be fairly easy to implement under the corp tab. Although I am not a coder. -- Be all you can be, join the Huzzah Armed Forces today!

Adrian Steel	Posted - 2006.04.27 03:11:00 - [194] This is an added corporation feature that could be addressed only after current problems are fixed: Galaxy wide, empire wide, or regional corporate stock market. Companies could actually be listed on these exchanges, and real people could buy and sell the stocks, hoping that they would be worth more in the future, or that they would pay dividends. As a further appendage: NPC companies like Lai Dai, Freedom Extension, etc, could also be listed and traded and could go up and down in prices based on random fluctuations as well as news related incidents. I think this would promote more companies to be started up with a professional, organized, profit oriented outlook, rather than as a simple forum for buddies and "clan-mates," as many currently are. ______________________ Warp core stabilizers are for MEN!

Anton Zuber	Posted - 2006.04.30 17:59:00 - [198] a 'profit minded' corp is all but impossible as things stand right now, stock market pricing notwithstanding. The reason is very very simple. The numbers aren't there. It's nearly impossible to even estimate a corps actual worth on the market right now without a ridiculous amount of adding, and even then there's consistantly simply too many unknowns floating out there to give a good net worth number. Fix the accounting journal so it gives useful information. Allows us to total up market value of objects in the orders menu. Allow us to total up market value of entire Hangars. And last but certainly not least, fix security so that it's possible to run a normal corporate model without having to worry about someone in the corp stealing everything. A normal corporate model is just downright impossible right now. Too many things don't work.
Ulv Einherj	Posted - 2006.05.01 21:22:00 - [199] How about Nice profit and loss graph's I come from an accounting background and find the Accountancy aspect of the corp menu a nightmare.

( Who's selling and buying all their stuff with alts to avoid corp tax - A feature would like to have to identify Macro miners that join the corp faster too as they seem to use this method to avoid attention to themself ) P/L Graphs would be nice to have to identify the long term financial situation of a corp and should be publicly listed for a fee on any corp which lists itself as a open tarder in one of the trade hubs.

My suggestion would be for a stock reissue. Right now over half of the members in my corp are known to be inactive, with no ETA for a return. I would like to use shares to issue proportional dividends, but not to throw money at the inactive accounts. Have a corp vote for issuing a new series of stock, and distribute them separately. This would also require a change to the dividend issue screens to select which shares are getting a dividend. And it should require 50% of members to vote, etc. before issuing a separate share series.

Ysolde Xen	Posted - 2006.05.04 10:44:00 - [202] Not sure if this has been brought up yet as it's only partly related to Corp management but I wanted to mention the apparent hole in security regarding Station Containers/warehouses/etc. 3 Weeks must pass with no log entries before such a can can be trashed etc. however you can reprocess them instantly, even if they are PW locked and you do not have the PW. This gets rid of all the logs so it becomes rather hard to see who did what and when in the case of managing corp hangars, and also means there's no tell-tale un-trashable cans in member hangars when Security personnel are checking through. Is this getaround intentional? What's the point of preventing trashing etc for 3 weeks when you can reprocess it and both circumvent the time limit AND get a bunch of nice mienrals at the same time? ----- Just because you couldn't get a ship to do what you wanted doesn't mean it's a crap ship - it means you're a crap pilot of that ship.

gunnergonk	Posted - 2006.05.12 05:44:00 - [207] Just a couple of ideas, apologies if they have already been spoken of. 3 of us have recently formed a corp and are discussing rewards and incentives for new members but everything we think of seems to be flawed mainly due to the fact that some members will put more into the corp time and isk and unless one of us sits every night with a calculator for hours the rewards can not be fairly given, i thought that a "personal tax rate" for a member instead of a "corp rate" would be a fair way. Also an individual account system ie a page where i could look and see that member "a" has contributed 50 isk and member "b" has contributed 50,000 isk in the past 7 days, it doesnt need to give me a breakdown of how/when/why just how much then it would make the reward system much fairer. does anyone have any ideas on corp rewards? or a better system? thanks. gg.
SibSpi	Posted - 2006.05.13 02:41:00 - [208] "Remotely splitting or stacking items. (for escrow and trading)" I'd like for this to incur a fee, which is paid to the station owner, for assigning 'staff' or 'machinery' to redo the stacking or moving of items, based on their size and/or mass. I feel this would implement a greater feeling of 'gee, something is actually alive in that station' to the game, as currently aside from everyone sharing the same magically oversized part of a station's dock, there seems to be zero life inside the actual station. It would also make for a degree of expense in remote trade, which I'm pretty sure a LOT of people will hate me for :D After all, currently, escrow is the skint man's universal marketplace. (yes, I think the inside of stations are most of the time extremely disproportionate to the exterior of the station. )

Ryea Eripmav	Posted - 2006.05.23 16:44:00 - [214] I do not know if anyone has said this but an internal corp market would be useful, especially if one could compare prices that of the region one is in. ISK, as much as possible, stays in the corp. As it is, more developed corps already do this on a certain level but it is a lot of work keeping track of orders and isk, going back and forth between corp forums and eve-mails. With an automated system, orders can be made and fulfilled, isk can automatically be transferred from member wallet to corp wallet and vice versa. Such would enable automatic corp discounts if certain members had items up on market for profit. ----------------------------------------------- (\_/) (O.o) (> <) The Bunny strikes again, on his way to world domination.

Flamingo Eater	Posted - 2006.06.14 17:45:00 - [225] How about grantable titles? I spend hours setting up the titles and there is no way for anyone lower than a director to use them. I'd like to have a title be able to grant certain titles to other people and retain my closed hangars. For example, if I have 3 titles (King, Queen, peasant) and a locked hanger (Kings Bordello) I want to keep the queen out, but let her assign the peasant title to new peasants. If I assign the queen director status, she gets to visit the bordello, a bad thing. Without director status, she has to manually assign all the roles to a new peasant or the king has to do it.
Mary Reade	Posted - 2006.06.14 17:49:00 - [226] Only Directors can initiate a vote for a new CEO. 5% of the total shares of the corporation are required to initiate this vote. Once that happens, 51% of voting shares must be gained in order to pass the vote. So you need to be a 1) Director with 2) 5% of the total shares of the corporation or more and 3) the vote must pass, in order to 'steal' a corporation. Given that a Director has every power of a CEO except to dismiss the CEO, and could take anything they wanted anyway, this is not the biggest thing on my mind.

Also, am I just blind or is there no "Remove all roles and grantable roles from player" button for anyone other than yourself? Currently, when purging inactive members I have to manually hunt down all the roles in the cryptic role management system, and hope I've gotten everything. Then 24 hours later, I cross my fingers that I didn't miss a role, and try to expel them. If I missed something, then I get to dig through the role management again to find the offending role, remove it, and repeat the whole process again.

I like the idea of the corp divisional wallets and the financial reports/balance sheets. We need EvE QuickBooks if you will. We need a time tracker for the CEO and Directors, so they can accurately track how much time a corp member, or CM. That way if the corp is at war or on a contract, the Leaders can keep track of who is fighting, ratting, or sitting. So they can make decisions on compensation for pilots who are fighting the war or for the contract.
Erfnam	Posted - 2006.07.05 16:42:00 - [236] Expandable divisions. All corps default to 7 divisions, but they are allowed to add more divisions and divisional hangers if they so choose. To make this user friendly for larger corps, make it so hanger tabs are not visible for those who do not have query access. There should be a fee paid by the corp for each division that is created.

I mean having corp members with the rights to gain access to a corp hanger at a POS also allows them access to other aspects of the POS. Can we get something added that would allow control of access to the Corp Hanger Arrays, much like the HQ/Based/Other access settings within te Corp Division/Hanger access settings for Stations?

The CEO shoudl have the power to kick anyone, reguardless of roles or shares.

Dawnstar Gallente The Arrow Project The ARR0W Project	Posted - 2006.09.21 21:56:00 - [253] After wading through all the pages, I think I'm going to touch on a few topics: 1. Corp chat. There should be a role (communications officer maybe?) which can be granted to moderate corp chat. 2. Shares Given that Eve's stock market is actually starting to work, we need some better tools involving shares. Some specifics: A. The ability to get a list of all players who have shares of the stock, including the quantity. B. The ability to perform splits (and reverse splits) on stock. This should be capable of performing fractional amounts per share and the corp should also be able to specify a share valuation to act as payout for fractional shares which result from a split. C. Offering stock buyback. Corporations should be able to offer to shareholders a chance to buy back stock which they hold. This should include the number of shares the corp wishes to buy back and the quantity. D. Quorum. Set the ability to require a quorum on shareholder votes. E. Stock lockdown. Currently stock can be grabbed pretty easily. There should be a way to lock this down better (perhaps only allowing access to it to members with a particular role). 3. Payroll Corporations should be able to set up a payroll system. I envision the following: A. A period should be able to be set per corporation - daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually should be adequate. B. Salaries should be settable on a per-member basis, with the salary paid automatically. Ideally this should be pro-rated during the period for salary changes. A secondary idea here is to allow negative salaries as well (kind of a membership fee system), which would suspend corporate privileges if you are unable to pay. 4. Hangar Lockdown votes. It would be nice if hangars could be locked down via a single vote (for example one hangar in the HQ, or a particular hangar at everyone's based at, etc.). -D

Miithos Astrade	Posted - 2006.10.03 20:56:00 - [257] Not sure if it has been mentioned.... too much to read. There should be an ability to levy a TAX on players in the corp. It should be set so that you can group playes in to tax groups and levy taxes against a specific group. Example. If a corp wanted to tax each live player. you could set group A to be all the main characters and group B to be all the alts. At which point you could levy a 20 million ISK tax on all the characteers in group A. Or you could divide people in to groups however you wanted... Tha point is we need a way to (flat) tax people. you could have popup window that asks if you want to pay the tax when you log in. and have it ask every time until it is payed.

Dinife Dinife Corp	Posted - 2006.10.23 05:49:00 - [260] I have an idea for corps, how about blueprints for trade goods. That way a company could make items that just are used by the game. Things link livestock, food, etc.
EFS Manager Eve Financial Services	Posted - 2006.10.24 10:56:00 - [261] I for one would LOVE to see corporations actually having the ability to function as anything other than an entity where the CEO has almost total control. The current functionality makes it impossible to have a publicly owned company where the shareholders actually have the power and not the CEO. There are a few simple changes that would in a rudimentary fashion rectify the situation and should not need any massive amount of coding. The changes are as follows: 1) The CEO can not kick anyone from the corporation that has shares, or even better more than say 5% of the shares. This should require a vote by shareholders. 2) Shareholders should not need to be members of the corporation to call for votes as this really gives the CEO the power to prevent someone from voting by simply kciking them from the corporation. Of course there are other changes that would be ideal, but these two would make the situation workable with a board of directors really having the control rather than the CEO being 'god' for everything other than share creation and lockdowns. Sincerely, EFS Manager
Cornel Sinclair	Posted - 2006.10.25 10:48:00 - [262] More democratic features surely sounds nice for many corps but it would be much better to make it configurable (again something the stressed databases have to handle.) It wouldn¦t be wise to switch from one extreme position to another. A newly created corp should be despotic by default. The founder could then activate all the democratic features needed for the specific corp. Depending on the "character" of the feature it should not be possible for the CEO to reset it to its former state. It has to be permitted by those, who have the right to chose, normally the shareholders. But shareholders should also don¦t have the right to decide all matters of the corp even if it is fully democratic. Some types of votes should have the option to narrow the the section of the electorate to corp members, esp. if it comes to external investments, alliances aso. (depending on what that advanced voting system would enable us to vote for) A fully votable corp, there the shareholders have full power should be a possibility too. But all corps should chose wisely whom they are giving control over their corp. I see your point, a more democratic system would give us a whole new galaxy of opportunities Most things can be solved via other communication channels, but the bigger a corp grows and the more international it becomes, the more you will miss such features, even if you are a pure despot

Selene Shaataz Minmatar Sanguine Shipyards	Posted - 2006.12.04 17:14:00 - [278] The one aspect of the current corp control dysfunction that irks me the most is having to dock at a station to take purchases out of delivery hangars ... we have nifty trade skills that allow us to set sell order/quick-sell our own stuff from anywhere in the region ...but we can't similarly deal with delivery hangar stuff. It's just soooo annoying
Dawnstar Gallente Kiroshi Group	Posted - 2006.12.04 19:59:00 - [279] There is one more ability I'd like to see added - the ability to grant a title. I'll give a sample case of what I'm looking for: Right now we can create a title for new players, which grants certain privileges. However, only a director or the CEO cna grant this title to new players. This prevents us from having persons with another title (such as recruiter) who are capable of granting the title. We can give our recruiter the ability to manually edit the roles, but that can be a pain and tends to be error prone. It would be much better if we could grant the recruiter title the ability to grant the rookie title to other players in the corporation. Oh and one other irritation... The title managment form. Right now its too wide (at least at my screen resolution) to be able to view all of the hangar rights associated with a title. Furthermore there is no scrollbar, so one has to stretch the window out larger than the screen space and drag the window around to get to everything. It would be better if this either had a scroll bar or was made to fit on a form which wasn't as wide (and if it does get a scrollbar, please freeze frame on the titles, so that when it scrolls, they don't scroll off the visible area). -D

Nosferatu Zodd Black-Sun	Posted - 2006.12.10 00:09:00 - [281] What would be very useful is a notes for corp where members (that are allowed by rights) could add useful info that can be viewed by all members. Currently members have to ask the same question dozens of times, search through forums if the corp has one, look through corp mails, etc. If all this info could be listed in notes it would be much easier. You could list info for new users, rules of the corp, lists of blueprints owned, corp shopping list, logins for killboard, voice server, forum and much more. This is something I miss in this game. Would it lag the servers? -------------------------------------------------------

Audit logs for a few hangers would nice, dont think we'll get them all. More hangers would always be welcomed. The station containers where a nice idea, but when most of your corp lives out of outposts, they dont work very well. As far as being able to build out of hanger without take access, this is a bad idea. A member could basically steal on the mins by building stuff and outputing to a hanger he has access to. Only thing members should be able to do from view only hangers as far as building is concerned is use a BPO. Biggest problem with corp management currently is single roles do way too much. They all need to be more specific. Its been said before, even by me, but we need division wallets asap. This is currently the biggest limiting factor when trying to run a corporation.

Rita Death	Posted - 2006.12.28 15:14:00 - [290] "As far as being able to build out of hanger without take access, this is a bad idea. A member could basically steal on the mins by building stuff and outputing to a hanger he has access to." Well then it would show up at a build and you could go question him of the need for 100K pasive targeters. The problem outlined here is that you have access to everything in the hangar you build from at the moment, BPOS (long live lock down) minerals and componants, and you dont have to give people access to a hangar they dont need access to, i know this will not remove the thread of theft but it might reduce is. "Biggest problem with corp management currently is single roles do way too much. They all need to be more specific." Yes
A1C Izreal	Posted - 2006.12.28 18:22:00 - [291] Divisional wallets would save tons of headake. Also I belive there needs to be an alliance wallet.
Dawnstar Gallente Kiroshi Group	Posted - 2006.12.28 21:49:00 - [292] Some new security related and convenience features I would like to see: A. The ability to set a maximum withdrawal amount from the corp wallet. This should be a daily maximum and be settable per member. There should be the ability to: 1. Implement this through voting and have it apply to all corp members (including the CEO). 2. Have a settable limit which could be set by title. Persons with multiple titles get their title limit as the highest of their titles. 3. A per-member limit which could be assigned directly to the member. When a person makes a withdrawal from corp cash they are subject to the most limiting of 1, 2, or 3 in how much isk they can withdraw from the corp wallet for the day. Items purchased for the corp via trading should count against this limit. Also lab and factory rentals should as well. B. The ability to limit a maximum value of goods that a person can remove from the corp hangars in a day. This should be settable in a manner similar to the wallet (corp-wide via a vote, by title and by individual). I realize that Eve's built-in prices don't reflect actual market value, but they are better than nothing. This limit should also include inputs used for factories and labs. C. The ability to permanently lock out take access to a particular hangar via a vote. Directors and the CEO would still be able to take from the hangar, but it couldn't be granted by them (save for the CEO making someone a director). This is intended as a defensive measure to prevent someone accidentally being given rights to a high-security hangar. D. Manufacturing Take rights. This may sound minor, but it would be nice to be able to grant a player rights to take from a hangar, but only to feed a factory/lab. I'm once again trying to lock things up a bit tighter. A nice twist on this might be the ability to limit taking to only certain categories of items. E. Deliver To feature for factories. The ability to deliver items to a particular player's personal hangar when building items strikes me as particularly desirable. F. Sub-division of the factory manager role. I'd like this to be broken up into different roles: 1. Factory Worker. Can rent factories and install blueprints for the corp. 2. Lab Worker. Can rent labs and install blueprints for the corp. 3. Factory Manager. Can deliver factory jobs and cancel factory jobs for the corp. 4. Lab manager. Can deliver lab jobs and cancel lab jobs for the corp. G. Sub-division of the trader role. 1. Buyer. Can place buy orders for the corp. 2. Seller. Can place sell orders for the corp. 3. Internal Contractor. Can place private contracts for the corp. 4. External Contractor. Can place public contracts for the corp. H. Wallet improvements. Add a feature to the transactions for players' personal wallet that lets them filter based on their transactions, the corp's transactions they've performed, or both. This is kind of an irritation for me right now as transactions for my personal wallet and the corp are all mixed together. Likewise a filter for orders would be nice too. -D

This would defently help in those cases. Maybe even a deliver to contract option? Originally by: Dawnstar F. Sub-division of the factory manager role.

Dawnstar Gallente Kiroshi Group	Posted - 2006.12.29 22:33:00 - [294] Two more thoughts: 1. Vote Duration. The minimum time that a vote can be active should be settable (via a vote, of course). This would prevent someone from trying to take over the corp by proposing a vote when no one else was on for a day. The corp could set the minimum time for shareholders to be able vote to some more reasonable time (such as a week). 2. Require Shareholder approval for Directors. This would be another new vote to put this into effect. If a majority of shareholders approve the this motion, from that point on, if the CEO wants to grant a character Director rights to the corp, it would require a vote approved by the shareholders before the character gains the rights. -D
Darth Kuminos Gallente Dark Star Industries	Posted - 2006.12.31 19:22:00 - [295] Edited by: Darth Kuminos on 31/12/2006 19:24:38 I would like to see something more with Hanger access as well. Alot of the ideas in here seem worthy of thought and even some testing. Although I think there needs to be additions to Corp Security settings. As of now, Corp hangers are based on 3 areas: Based At, Headquarters, and Other. This leaves thing to wide open. From my understanding, POS and Carrier Corp Hangers fall under the "Other" catagory. To me this is not acceptable. There needs to be a set division of the areas. I would prefer to have either Corporate global settings that would allow for Carrier and POS hanger access, or one of the best things would be to remove the whole Corporate Hanger classification to the Hanger arrays and Carrier Hangers. I know this might present a problem, but after working with POS structures and carrier pilots with access rights is turning into a massive headache now. I would actually like to be able to set permissions on a hanger array based on each POS. It just makes sense. With POSs only being able to deployed for corp, this poses a problem in that say person A needs access at one POS to manage it, but you don't want them to have access at another. You can't set based at permission to a POS, so the current system does no good. I would also like to see the ability to name POS structures (other than Mobile labs).I now this doesn't belong here, but just one of the little things I see that need to be changed. The reason for me mentioning this is so that if we keep the current Corp Hanger arrays as is, at least allow for per Hanger array permissions. Something that could be set by someone with the proper rights while at the POS. Also the current Role, Corporation, Alliance access levels are to vague. There needs to be more so that access could be more controlable. Maybe you have someone that manages the POS and you want them to be able to fuel it without granting them control over the entire POS (see Config Starbase Equipment role). Allowing with for some specialized roles or specialized access rights would make things easier. THe same could apply for Carrier Hangers. Have a Role named Carrier Pilot. This would then allow them to have unrestriced access to the Corp Hanger of the carrier they are piloting. This way they could effectively move items between divisions, and also not be limited in which ones they can access. Rights for Players using the Hanger on a carrier from outside would still apply. Th amin reason for this is some recent issues with carrier pilots not being able to pull a can from a specifc division in their carrier. This is an issue as I know most may bot want to give unrestricted access to everyone flying a carrier that would also allow them to unrestricted access to divisional hanger at office other than where they are based and headquarters. I know I seem to be just throwing things out, but that's how my mind is working right now. I do think the devs need to sitdown and really work out a much better system for control and acess for the corporations. A complete overhaul of the current system might be needed. As this game progresses and we end up having PC factions (I see it coming) more and more access and control will be needed at higher levels. Something should be looked at and thought out before that day comes. Also, granting CEOs and Directors of corps more control over access would help with corp theft, but probably shouldnot eliminate it. It is part of the game. I knwo how it feels to have so much work go down the tubes due to one thief, but to make it so that it is harder for them to steal would please numerous people.

Problem with that is a corp goes inactive, but has a few hundred million isk in the corp wallet. The rent is paid, so the office never gets released and offices become even harder to find. Maybe a better alternative would be allowing longer rent cycles? Or perhaps you don't need the office as much as you think you do? I know we have some offices we really don't need or use, but the rent keeps getting paid, so we keep the office. Corporation Management Improvement
Dawnstar Gallente Kiroshi Group	Posted - 2007.01.05 22:27:00 - [300] Another really nice feature regarding the paying of rent... I'd like an option on the lease renewal notice to "cancel lease". The function of this should be pretty obvious. Use case: Corp has rented an office some place where they perform a short operation. Next month renewal notice comes in. Corp has not interest in maintaining this office. Currently the corp has to either fly to the station to cancel the lease or let the notice sit until its past due (and thereby risk having a click-happy director renew it). -D

Size of corp does not change your ability to research in empire unless your talking about the number of simultaneous projects the corporation can do. Its a matter of joining the queue. they way research and factory slots use to be I would have agreed with you, as we where able to afford to block almost an entire station out If you do not want to wait to do research, you either can set up a POS or go to low sec/0.0 just like any other corp.

Dr Slaughter ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.01.08 03:00:00 - [303] I guess my thread (here) should be included here. Concept is to allow quorum voting for certain functions that deal with high asset value items (POS, certain hanger items) and have the restrictions applied by sets of policies.
Eethrak Gallente LiveTech	Posted - 2007.01.18 00:15:00 - [304] A lot of people are suggesting things that, given the way their corp is set up, may be desperately needed for them. However, things like the suggested share-holder voting for directors, or maximum daily withdrawl from corp account, could well prove to be as much of a hassle for other corps who don't want it to work that way. The thing I'd suggest more than anything would be additional configurability for corps - lets have these as options we can enable or disable - obviously within certain realistic limits, 1001 options is only going to clog things up, but right now, we get to set.... well just the tax rate. For my part, the grantable title thing is certainly on my top ten list of things that really need adding in. Also, grantable roles should give access to the r-click/edit member window. Its a much cleaner interface than the corporation one (which seems to suffer from a serious default width flaw atm?) but only seems available to directors. Even if grant title was only implimented implicitly based on being able to grant the specific roles that combine to make that title, it would still be a major step up. /signed on all the stuff I've signed before, delivery boy, better wallet logging, divisional wallets, CEO being able to edit corp orders set by others blahblahblah.

I may not have been clear in what I was suggesting - I was proposing a new vote that could be proposed to put those types of rules into effect for the corporation. Assuming that the majority of shareholders approved the vote, the rule (such as limiting the maximum daily withdrawl from the corp wallet) would then go into effect. If you didn't implement this rule, it wouldn't apply. -D

Lets us either give each division wallet full access to the corp wallet, a set ISK amount, or a percentage of the Corp wallet. Also, I would love to see the ability to pay out only to certan groups of members in the corp. Currently you can either pay out to just stock holders or everybody in the corp. I would like the ability to pay out to everybody that has the "Member" title and exclude those that only have the "Initiate" title.

Jenson Cole Red Dagger Fleet	Posted - 2007.03.07 00:28:00 - [315] Corp Reaquireing of Corp Shares: This feature would involve a corp CEO being able to raise a vote to bring back share's that are held by inactive players. I currently have one person who was a director in my corp and currently a share holder that has been out of game now 4 months and would like to reaquire those shares. Also upon leaving a corp if a Corp Member has shares he/she automaticly returns those shares held. Right now I don't belive there's a way to get shares back unless someone gives em back willingly and if votes are set that require a percentage over 60% needed to pass my corp may run into some difficulties passing items such as war decs and BPO lockdowns. And with the current system if someone leaves corp they are currently able to recive notices on votes still. I had a founder of my corp who had shares from our previous corp state he recived an email on a vote they held.
Endymionnn	Posted - 2007.03.10 02:51:00 - [316] Corp: - I second that on the Shares issue. With me it's a slightly different case though... My corp tries really hard to create some sort of business "reality" with payment of dividends in regular intervals and such; and it's a real pain for me when I know that x% of the income has to go "dead" to an inactive player or one that is no longer with the corp (bonus!). CEO needs to have an option to recall shares, or set them to be inside-only, so that any leaving player has to give up the shares along with the roles before they choose another path. Again, it's an issue of control, which is necessary in any corporation. Players come and go, that is the reality of the game, so the game needs to allow for a corporation to be able to stay organized. Otherwise, one IPO in the beginning gone wrong and you have to set up a new corp. And I don't even DARE to dream about separate different shares (1st issue, 2nd issue). +1 on the divisional wallets (or at least assignable sections of the wallet / budget limits for certain directors etc) whatever is easiest and work best. +1 on the basic reports like income statement/cash flow per time period and balance sheet, that could do wonders for the business aspect of the game, part of which right now is virtually roleplayed. +1 on Corp hangar logs... as much as I think that is unsustainable (simply way too much action would have to be added on game servers, I don't think EVE will withold it). But corp theft would be very difficult if you could go back and review the "tapes". I'm sure alot of CEOs and directors will back me up on this one. +1 on Role granting improvement. Real mess and alot of clicking, especially in Corporation interface, where I have to scroll to the right for 2 screens to check all the View and Take accesses on 4 different screens. 99% of the time the same options are chosen for ALL the types of hangars there anyway. +1 on Hangar naming and individual division naming for POS hangars. They rarely require the same functionality as Station Corp hangars. Market: - Quickbar should allow to create folders to group shortcuts in. That would help alot. - Ability to adjust order price by clicking on your order in the list view for that product. I.e. so you don't have to click to Orders tab to change the price and then go back to the Details market view to see its position. - Alerts for being overpriced or underpriced (I wish :)) - Daily reports from transaction journal would ROCK. - Remove redundant options from filters in journal and transactions tab of the wallet. 99% of traders use very few of them. If not remove then allow to set which ones are available. I could probably come up with alot more but hey if even 1 of the above gets implemented - i'll be happy. Big ups to the hardworking CCP pplz who read through all this and actually push these ideas through.
Mal Loc	Posted - 2007.03.12 22:20:00 - [317] My apologies if this feature has been requested before. It would be nice to be able to set an item to only be salable for the corp. This would allow some enforcement that goods created by the corp are only sold for the corp. The situation I imagine is a manufacturing corp that has a sales division. If one wanted to enforce that all products were sold only to benefit the corp one could use this feature. Otherwise, the only way to enforce this is to check the logs and validate that all items that any given sales person sold were sold to benefit the corp.

Contracts are neat in all, but say i have a group of players who handle logistics for the corp who are trusted to do so. I do not want to have to set a collateral to keep other members from getting sticky fingures, but more then one member may need to be allowed to accept the contract.

Lab Technician071548 Astro-Support Services	Posted - 2007.04.02 18:00:00 - [323] It would be great if you could check tax revenue by member over a time frame. Reporting, in general, could use a major overhaul. It would be great if information could be downloaded for external analysis to reduce overhead on the servers and increase flexibility. If I could download corporate data, I could then work with it in a spreadsheet, statistical analysis tool, or even accounting software. It would be great if you could set a spending budget (by time frame) and attach that to a title, role, or person. Alternatively, if you could implement certain accounting principles such as separation of duties. For example, one person makes a request to purchase, but the transaction doesn't occur until someone else releases the funds. If the object is gone from market? Loosen standards or be prepared to miss on some deals. That also happens in the real world. It would be great if blueprints and mineral stocks could be handled entirely separately from other assets, with their own command and control structure, rather than cobbling tools onto a generic system. +1 for container and hangar audit logs

So we can keep track of which recruiters are working with which people. Perhaps an area on the application that has a drop down list of all recruiters, and a role called recruiter on members so that they get added to that list as well. Defaults to N/A or something. That way we also always know if they already have spoken with someone when they put in the application.

RaTTuS BIG Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.04.11 10:41:00 - [327] A couple of things that are bugging me ATM are :- When voting to lock a blue print - that vote should should be automaticaly sanctioned at the end of the period - as it stands they sometimes drop out of being locked at random times after the vote. I would not mind it the CEO had to sanction the action or if it just happed if majority voted on as long as it was consitant. The ability to sanction an action should be allowed to a majority share holder [within the corp] for when the CEO is being lazy - that is part of what a director is all about. -- BIG Lottery, BIG Deal \| RaTTuS @ Skills Showroom
Aivo Laitanen Laitanen Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.04.15 11:11:00 - [328] Yes, we really need divisional wallets to know how we gain money and to divide risks or corf thieves. As, we would be able to give X isk for minings ops and Y isk for POS and Z Isk for pvp.... We also need more love for interactions between alliances and corporation. Indeed, it is really boring to have to adjust all standing with each corp when corporations are in alliance in order to use pos or stations in 0.0. To correct this, it is necessary that alliances standings permits all access without any intervention of corporations to readjust standings. We also need some love with POS interactions between alliances' mates. - We should be able to use an alliance facility that is in POS and not only laboratories. - If the facility is not open to alliance, it shouldn't be viewable by alliance mates etc etc etc
Gabrielle Black	Posted - 2007.04.16 17:22:00 - [329] I only read the overview in the first post, but didn't see this anywhere. I'd like to see office types, first off. The current offices would be either 'HQ' or 'General'. I'd like to be able to tag an office as 'Tactical', 'Manufacturing', 'Lab', etc. Other than HQ and General, they would be free text like hangar names. Each type of office would have it's own set of permissions and roles (Ie, just like HQ hangar access type stuff is now). Also, each office type would have it's own set of hangar names. The office that is used for Tactical might have 'High', 'Medium', 'Low', 'Ships', 'Capital Ships', etc, while the factory might have 'Blueprints', 'Materials', 'Output', etc. I'd also like to see more strict controls allowed for corp jobs. It should be possible to force input and output hangars for jobs that use corp resources. That way you can allow access to the materials hangar, but force any output to an output hangar which only certain people have access to. It would also be cool if you could queue and contract out factory and lab jobs. Let's say the director needs 50 things built, but doesn't have the slots to do it. He enters in all the information (input hangar, number of runs, output hangar, etc) but doesn't have to actually start the job. He can then just queue those jobs (somehow, a new checkbox on the S&I job interface could be added called 'create contract job' so when he clicks 'OK' it doesn't start the job, it just locks all the materials and enters a corp contract). Whoever has the slots and time to execute those jobs can accept the contract, right click the job and click 'start'. Alliance offices would be nice also.

Sidrat Flush Caldari Sidrat Inc. Emporium	Posted - 2007.04.20 12:28:00 - [331] As a brand new CEO, not only is the basic restructuring scary enough ( you never truly know how many other accounts any other person has ), but the seven!!! Divisional access slots and what role you need to access them, and the role you need to buy and or sell for the corp is mind boggling as well as mindnumbing. Ceo's, who usually choose to be CEO's do so for various reasons, not just because of ingame skill books but for possible CV expansion, it would be nice to be able to concentrate more on the membership then docked up sorting out admin things. Especially if members are in different time zones. I know, it's only me so far but I like looking ahead. I didn't realise shares were so nasty, are they still nasty? Should I issue 100% of the shares to myself? I have specific questions which I'll ask in the ceo's channel. See you there, I'll be reading the thread closely in the future. Life is about memories the more the better. Looking for CCP to improve availability of their GTC's, for non card carriers!
Asmodae Caldari Angels Of Divine Fury	Posted - 2007.04.24 14:26:00 - [332] There are some great ideas here, and I'll leave it to CCP to decide which ones are best to implement. I'd like to make/reiterate a few suggestions having just become a corp director and finding some things lacking. The biggest frustration right now is the inability to create buy and sell orders for corp members to buy/sell things directly to and from the corp. A custom market interface for this would be nice, or just the ability to place buy/sell orders that are only visible to corp members. Also, members should be able to choose to sell to the corp even if it is NOT the highest available price. Contracts exist, but are clumsy and still need someone with permissions to come on go the region/location and approve it. There needs to be a more fully automated way for members to interact with (buy/sell) corp assets which is completely configurable. Another frustration is the all or nothing hangar access. The above suggestion attempts to deal with this somewhat, but it would be nice if we could limit how much is removed from a hangar based on average market value per diem, quantity per diem per member, etc. Hanger and member specific settings along with appropriate roles would also be needed. Thanks, Asmodae

For two years now they have been promising all these corp inprovements. As of today we have seen 1 or two, and they are both half assed attempts. First was that tax system that still isn't working fully and then was the locking and unlocking of bpos that now leaves a line behind for every vote done and u still have to click though 2-5 windows toget the stuff done.

As it is, I can make any division pay the fees for a contract, but there is no way to set it up so that any division besides the main wallet division receives the ISK for the contract. This is a real pain when you're actually using divisional wallets for what they were intended for, since I have to go in after every contract that goes through and transfer the isk to its intended recipient. Its not just contracts. We can't send tax anywhere but the master. As someone already mentioned, we can't assign members to divisions. The integration of the division system is just not as tight with the rest of the corporate mechanics as it needs to be. The biggest gripe I have is that the share system remains broken. Sure we can see who has shares now, but that doesn't stop a person with 1 share wresting CEO-ship away from me when me and other share holder are on vacation, voting in more shares, and entrenching themselves as the new owner of the corp. We need to be able to set (via a vote probably) at least what % of shares have to vote to make a quorum. Ideally, it would configurable for different vote types (maybe I want 60% of shares to vote to change CEO but only 10% to unlock a BPO, maybe the other way round), but thats probably wishful thinking. I think it might be time to unsticky this thread and start a new one. Its been years since Anton started this, and a lot has been altered and fixed since then. The signal to noise of 12 pages spanning 20 months is not high. Eethrak
JamesTalon Caldari Electric Fury Corp	Posted - 2007.07.29 20:26:00 - [350] This isn't directly a corp thing, but more to do with the corp hangers onboard capital ships. While its all well and good they take the names of the normal, station based hangers, it would be nice if we could name them differently, in order to allow the pilots to organize their own ships. Would also help when they decided to haul cargo with said carrier. "Return with your shield, or on it."
Shawbaly	Posted - 2007.08.07 20:09:00 - [351] Edited by: Shawbaly on 07/08/2007 20:12:17 we allready have divisions, to few some say but still we have them. We allready have the ability to attach homebase to members, and we have corp HQ and others. What i like to see is a drop down menu for it all. Members name "Division" where division is a drop down menu that put the current member in to a division of the corp. further i would like to do the same with offices to link them to divisions. division name "Divisional HQ office" And last but not least i would like to have a drop down menu in all offices preferaby at the same tab as divisional hangars where you can link that particular office to a division and grant that particular office overship rights to a specific division. that way evey member in the corporation can be linked to a division and every office in the corp is linked to a division. with this we can get rid of the drop down menus for HQ based at and other as we get a more steamlined more controlled system. right now a player can only operate out of one office set as their home base where i want a didvision to have a homebase and have a divsion to have their own "others" In short Link a player to a divsion within the corp, link the office to a division. So that all offices linked to that particualr division, gives all members in that division the same rights they have today as they where based at any of them. Every other office linked to other divisions then what they are in would be considered as other. Edit_: A new Title would be nice to, Co-Ceo that grants them CEO rights to everything but disbanding the corporation.

Horoc'h Ryydell Gallente Midnight Enterprises	Posted - 2007.08.27 13:43:00 - [354] What I would like to see: 1. Possibility to let taxes on bounties go somewhere else then the masterwallet. Even better, to say where what goes by default: * Setting up a contract -> trade; * Setting up a market order -> trade; * Paying an office bill -> Master wallet; * Paying for labslot -> research; etc And an option in the window you set it op to change the wallet. 2. Possibility to change the wallet you are using in the market sales window. Now i have to go to my wallet, set it to trade, set up orders, change it to R&D, buy bpos, etc. 3. The divisional offices would be really a great asset for any corp ;-) -- We are Recruiting! (New players welcome and trained)
Aluthin Caldari New Light KnightRaven Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.29 17:13:00 - [355] There's some great idea's in this topic... being a ceo i would love to see the following suggestions by people put in place: 1). Corp and alliance internal markets.....where having to do this by WTB and WTS on our alliance forum and using contracts which is just a pain... 2). Standings need to be a role (Diplomat) not always a problem at corp level but at alliance lvl to give someone the ability to set standings they have to be given directors rights in the exec corp which is just nuts as this gives them full access too alliance wallets and hangers.... 3). Ability at alliance level to assign alliance titles and roles too alliance corp members outside of the exec corp... 4). Sort shares out.... dunno how......but am sure there is something better.... 5). Corp message of the day ability.... seen on log in 6). Sepearte area in corp details that can only be seen by all corp members where all comm, forum, website and other relevant details can be entered and is easily found as whenu do it in corp mail it soon gets logged or if u need to edit it u have to delete and repost which is mad........ 7). One of the last suggestions i read and which i think would be awesome tool the ability to put notes on members that only the ceo and directors can see ..... this would be great for leaving info like... This is the alt of so and so .... or i have just recruited this member on the following terms/trial basis..... 8). Ability to Print standings or member lists off.... as well as transaction logs for the week beggining etc.... On another note make corp and alliance standings a mutual agreement ie: it takes bothsides to click a button for the standing to come into effect and if one side pulls out ie changes the standing from blue to neutral or red then the other side recieves notification and the standing is automatically changed for that side....
Vorok Silver Aria	Posted - 2007.09.19 04:13:00 - [356] There really needs to be focus on corp issues in upcoming patches. We've waited too long for major improvements - corps are a central aspect of the game and they need some love. In my opinion, as a relatively new CEO, the most critical changes needed are related to organization and structure - make this stuff easier to manage, then throw us a few cool features to spice things up. So, in no particular order... 1) Custom Roles - We can make titles, which are made up of roles such as accountant or contract manager. Take it a step further and let us build custom roles and fine tune their specifics. Title management can be frustrating because you only have so many roles to assign, many of which are needlessly bundled collections of privileges (such as factory manager) and some of which don't even exist outside of a director (such as changing standings). If I want a title/role for installing (and not removing) build jobs, let me. If I want to subdivide production roles by making one role for building only ammo (just give me a simple blueprint type/subtype selection!), and others to only build ships, let me. Basically, let us fine tune the titles and privileges ourselves without giving us simplified default privilege packages like factory manager or accountant. We shouldn't have to work around the system, it should work FOR us. It would be awesome if we had individual privileges that we could bundle up into custom roles to assign to titles. 2) MOTD - A simple MOTD feature and basic corp chat management would be a huge help in organizing. I would be so happy to have this. 3) Application History - Great work fixing up the pointless maze that was once the applications tab! ... can we at least get an application history though? It would be nice to have a record of who accepted an application, which applications were rejected, etc. Don't go crazy, just give us an "application history" tab and we're good. 4) Shares/Votes/Lockdown - Let us choose whether we want to use the insecure and often useless feature that is shares. A "guild" or "clan" in an another game isn't actually run like their RL namesakes, and in practice many/most corps in EVE don't run as RL corporations. Let us choose how to govern our organizations. Let us choose to divorce ourselves from shares and their related votes and maybe even pick from a list of corp governance structures (democracy, junta, dictatorship, jedi council, whatever) if voting mechanics are really needed? Quite frankly, issuing individual votes to lock/unlock a hundred BPOs is the most mind numbingly boring experience I've had to do since the days of copying insta BMs. 5) Divisional Wallet - Let us set default locations for various sources of money (taxes, sales, etc). Just a bit more integration and it'll be perfect. 6) Audit Containers - They should record who -removes- an item. Whether or not items are locked by default should be an attribute of the can, not saved in your local preferences. If they weren't so messed up, they'd actually be a useful organizational tool for creating "subhangars". It would be nice to get containers with access control based on roles, as well, rather than passwords. 7) Private Market Orders - Let corps (and heck, alliances) set up private market orders that are only visible to corp (or alliance) members. That way, a corp (or alliance) could set up special deals or freebies for its members with much greater ease than doing so manually via a forum. It could also facilitate a corp buying at special prices from its members (for example, salvage or ore). 8) Corp contracts - Give us the option to make corp contracts have a longer expiration period than two weeks. There are some situations where you just want a contract to hang in the air until someone needs it. This also could be a good workaround to handle access to a protected item that several trusted people need to be able to access at a moment's notice, without wasting a whole hangar for it.

Ability at alliance level to assign alliance titles and roles too alliance corp members outside of the exec corp... Signed! Yes these definately, its a pain trying to setup Diplomats, we need something like Alliance Command Roles too for multiple leaders of the Alliances. So heres my items... 1) Ability to set standings to a person from Alliance or Corp. 2) I would like to see what standings other corps have us set at, nothing worse than seeing that what you have as blue have you as red! 3) If standings get changed by someone have the system notify you of this change. We can then get diplos involved if its a negative change. 4) Have a mail to CEOS only option. So things I just want to let the CEOS know about, but I cant, either have to post to the Whole Alliance or send individually. 5) Message to pop when member logs in to state they have either corp or alliance mail We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in space, in competition. A man confronts you he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy
Ines Dal	Posted - 2007.11.07 05:17:00 - [359] API to access corp assets outside the game. As a chief of the fund division, I really want the feature to calculate corp fortune automatically. This is truly work of no value, just make game play sick. At least corp assets interface get better, so I can see all the fortunes at one glance without searching and adding them all, it will be much more helpful.
northwesten Amarr Trinity Corporate Services	Posted - 2007.11.26 16:42:00 - [360] I contacted GM about removing Shares from my corp! Me been a noob created extra 9000 (I was bored). Then a few months later i want to do an IPO but there too many shares. They said they don't have a tool to remove. So how an Idea GM have the tools to do it! Also To remove shares the same way to creating by voting etc. I think we need an option to remove shares as well as creating them. I have seen some corp that has 500 shares and its annoying i cant get rid of mine. Funny thing is these corp not that old too. PS I just noticed this thread Trinity Corporate Services
Jaed	Posted - 2007.12.06 04:16:00 - [361] With Trinity, our Junior Accountants are now getting office rental mail. We like to give this in the title we give our newest recruits, so they can see the corporation's bankroll. However, they are now getting mail about office bills they can't pay. If the notifications could be removed from that role, that would be great. Thank you for your time.
Jhar'An God's of Eve X-PACT	Posted - 2007.12.13 17:29:00 - [362] Feature Request: A log of members that have left, or mail notification. If it were to be a log, just the past week or two is all that it would need to contain. Not long enough to create huge files, but not so short you have to check it daily. This is to enable larger corporations with outside forums to easily manage the deletions of members who have left, to allow corporations to get feedback on why people are leaving, etc.
Letrange Minmatar Chaosstorm Corporation Apoapsis Multiversal Consortium	Posted - 2008.01.02 22:19:00 - [363] Humm is this thread even alive? Ah well onward. Would it be possible to fix the current problems with research slots and renting them out to alliance members and stuff like that? Situation: Any large corporation is effectively unable to establish a hi-sec research POS without having to use various work arround: - Kick every one with the wrong standing out for a week, establish the tower then get everyone back in (messes up the job history but what can you do - good for cleaning out dead wood though). - Establish an alt corporation in the alliance where the alts are under control of the people with the bpo's to be researched (inflated the character and corporation count in the eve universe for no good reason) The problem of course is that they can't get their research needs met at specialized research corporations because the current structure corporation rights structure does not allow for the smooth functioning of said corporations without compromising security on valuable BPOs. At least not without some rather unnatural gyrations. The question I need to ask is: Is it intentional that CPP designed the current slot rental system (with all it's misleading and broken configuration options) to be so bad as a way to discourage any formation of true research services corporations? example: Why in the tower manager can you set the query and take rights on a mobile laboratory to "Alliance" but only members of the owning corporation can access the hangars??? Either this is broken and should be fixed or it should never have been put there in the first place. It is miss-leading and frustrating. As the CEO of a corporation with a high sec research lab or two, my personal research needs are not a problem. My frustration arises in that I can't make my corporation more valuable to my alliance because of the way the other corporations that want to allow their non-directors to make use of any slots I may have for rent. There are two problems: 1) I can configure copy and invention slots for rental but no one can use them. 2) Any renting corporation has a situation where if they want member x to use the slot they need to setup a division where x can put his bpo but no one else has access to, assign the same wallet to the guy so he can start jobs and give the guy factory manager rights (which btw are not limited by location). The CEO and directors can still mess with things but if you do this the other pilots can't. This might be sort of OK in very small corporations but in larger ones is unworkable. If there are plans to "fix" any of these and their related problems/inconsistencies, could we at least know someone is working on it (even if it'll take a year or two to show up since it's not "shiny")???
Rayst Viscosity	Posted - 2008.01.17 01:52:00 - [364] Expansion of the shares system? I currently use shares as an incentive for my corporate members, they recieve shares for a variety of tasks (sort of like a stock option retirement plan) that are exercisable whenever they want for there isk value given that they cannot bankrupt the corporation until it fulfills its financial obligations. Share Value = (Corporation Wallets + Corporate Assets) / Outstanding Shares I current do this through an excel spread sheet setup but I think it could add another dynamic to the game. You could if you wanted break shares into two categories, Privately held, and public offered. This would allow you to set up an EVE Stock market of sorts of publically traded corporations. For example, a corporation decides to do an IPO (initial public offering) in order to enter the eve stock market, they must pay the $1 billion isk entry fee which turn into 10,000 publically traded shares at $100,000 isk each. As people purchase these shares the price obviously increases since the value is directly porportional to the stock market wallet and the money invested. This could lead to new uses for stock splits, capital investments in other corporation ventures and as a potential revenue generation stream for the eve community. Downfalls: pump and dump schemes, no guareentee of returns, but eh, thats the real world for you. If you're a Mega Alliance undertaking a massive project, the shares dispersed by the alliance could easily cover the cost of your project and your investors could see a return on there investments as your capital increases from the success of your project (or loss from your failure). This is especially true in the area of station development. The primary difference between public and private shares is the ability to vote remains inside the corporation, elminating some unwanted possibilities. I don't think anyone in eve would want a hostile takeover of there corporation (maybe some of you do?) Like all stock markets, you are never guarentee'd a return on your investment, however, I believe there are more than enough opportunities in the eve world to allow this to work. Any thoughts are appreciated, just an idea. Thanks
Bolka Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.18 16:32:00 - [365] Edited by: Bolka on 18/01/2008 16:36:55 This thread could use an overall recap and up to date list of suggestions, some date to 2004. Anyway, here are my main suggestions at this stage: MAIL SYSTEM The EVE mail system was rather impressive in 2003 when games did not commonly offer internal mail, but today even some free browser-based games have much superior internal mail system. My Main points: - EVE mail UI general overhaul - Easy and quick access to unread mails (right now need to browse the complete list of people who ever sent you a mail, and check those that are not 0 unread) - Better reading window (currently not big enough) - Have a copy of the mails that were sent - Folders? - Longer text size - at least for CEOs, it is impossible to ever send out a communication to the corp in one EVEmail - Corp message wall - To permanently post information accessible to all corp members, such as corp rules or news. Currently resending EVE mails every 2 weeks to all corp members. - Better mailing lists - At least be able to see the list of subscribed people, I don't use this list because I don't know who is receiving, or if anyone at all is receiving. CORP ASSETS - Outstanding corp contracts and sale orders - Currently you cannot know all your corp assets, because you are missing everything that is in the sales pipe. there should be a way to see the outstanding contracts and sale orders and their values. CORP MANAGEMENT UI - Embedded help information - To know, at least, what type of access each role enables
masternerdguy	Posted - 2008.01.25 19:55:00 - [366] Also, i think that corporate wallet should have subdivisions instead of just divisions.
Humma Kuvula	Posted - 2008.01.26 01:05:00 - [367] Although I've been playing for awhile now, I've never really delved into some of the more intricate Corp features until recently. However I recently bumped into any issue that I think would make a nice feature. Allowing a corp to define what types of income go into which wallets. As in have a wallet where taxes from corp members are automatically dropped into and/or a wallet for corp sales, etc. Perhaps this already exists, but I've haven't been able to find it and no one else I've asked knows either.

If you click this a few time it will bring all the unread mails to the op of the list. With that said I would like away to sort by date. I have people eve mail me what they had me carrier down. To make the mails easily findable, I have to keep them unread and deal with the flashing light all the time.
Jader Trice	Posted - 2008.02.01 12:37:00 - [369] yes! more functions for management of the game. (you're not going to get everyone to log into your 3rd party website) how about a place to list corp rules, standard operating proceedures, etc. just some Bulletin board space. scheduled events seem better suited for a calender/daily planner format, than mailing list. (like a better MOTD with more functions) players log in, and viola! the days agenda is appearent to all, or they can plan ahead for the weekend. maybe I want to assign 10 players to a commander (kinda like fire dept command structure), to delegate responsibilities. they report to him, he handles their concerns. nobody falls through the *****s/feels neglected, the corp gets accountability, and better organization. maybe corporate branch delineations. ex: military, industrial, logistics, public relations, instead of the need for multiple corps I've not had to manage a corp, so forgive me for any misconceptions
Knorkor Gallente Megalomania Heavy Industries	Posted - 2008.02.04 11:22:00 - [370] Is there an ETA for a corp-management Patch or some news? We really badly need one. And if you are on it, please puplish a better Corp-Manual. For a Newbie and freshly made CEO like me, who runs a Corp together with some Friends, it was quite hard to get behind it. I had to chat much time with ppl, stealing their time, which they want to use for playing. Greets Knorkor
Schani Kratnorr Internal Revenue Service	Posted - 2008.03.07 01:27:00 - [371] Wages? Fundemental to any corporation really. How about specialized contracts between corp and member. The wage system could use existing mechanics to allow corps to pay wages to members. Would add a bit of practical realism to EVE.

Darshen KNIGHT'S OF THE ROUND ROOM	Posted - 2008.03.16 05:39:00 - [373] I'm not sure of everyone else's opinion or weather this subject has been touched on, but I'd like to see a reminder notice for Corp offices and alliance bills sent via evemail about one week before the bills are due. This would help instead of getting the reminder right when you renew your lease a month before. For the alliance bills thou it would be great to have the final notice sent again the day the bill is due.
Apocil Munar tiger mining corp	Posted - 2008.03.16 11:30:00 - [374] I would like to see the ability to either export a list of corp assets to a file or be able to have a Corp dedicated webpage that allows your members to view specific things happening with the corp. It doesn't have to have extremely fancy features but at least have the ability to post announcements, view corp assets and locations, and view corp wallet transaction logs. the ability to maintain corp while outside of the game would come in handy especially during the daily downtime.
Amdromida	Posted - 2008.03.30 08:18:00 - [375] I was just wondering if there was any plans in the near future about giving more control over Corporate Tax for Corporations that use the tax. I think we should be able to make it where it also applies to Ore Mining or Market trades if we so desire to do so. As I understand it now is that only missions and bounties are taxed and only if they exceed 250K ISK or more or somewhere close to that number anyway. Just wondering about that. Thanks!
