Loyalty points are between the player and the corp...they should never be transferrable in my opinion, it just makes no sense in corporation terms...
I think a 'letter of recommendation' method could work to push a players lp up to faction level but other than that i can't agree on player to player lp transfer or lp tax. ('Player corp to npc corp: 'We're taking some of your trust in bob by way of tax. That's ok by you isn't it?'... |

Same principle though, the NPC corp trusts the player who performs duties for them, not the players corp so they wouldn't give LP to the players corp. If your players value your corp then they can convert LP to goods and give 10% of the profits

Not sure I agree with this. NPC corp standings are not always based on the pilots standings. If you refer to Evelopedia and scroll to the boittom and read under "NPC Faction standings towards Player corporations" you'll notice player corp standings are taken into effect. To take an example, Jump clones can be obtained in short order by joining a player corp with an NPC corp standing of 8 or higher. If the player corp is trusted enough by the NPC corp to provide jump clones, even if the player corp pilot has terrible standing, I think the NPC corp can trust them enough with LP's in the form of a tax. I've not been able to find exact information on Evelopedia about player corp standings allowing you to do missions for NPC agents you don't have access to with your personal standings, but I'm sure this comes into effect. I'm also unable to test this as I have no pilots with this particular issue. In the past I have obtained jump clones through my corp standings that I should not have been able to get without the aid of my corp's standings.
The rise in your own standings contributes to you corps standings I thought? Just feels wrong to think of taxing loyalty! The player should cash in LP and give 10% to the corp if they feel that strongly about it :D |

I would suggest a change whereby a corp can register with a faction for faction war and on that basis gets a commission based on the LP earned by a capsuleer in that corp. This would be LP to the corp wallet for use buying Faction gear (which obviously can be sold or used as thr corp wishes).
LP should always remain between the corp and capsuleer in terms of the current system though. You could argue that the player should be making the donations to the corp voluntarily to repay the support given. They are after all Privateers serving a given faction whilst it suits them and many are known to switch factions depending on who gives the best LP at any given time. |

Also with the over 100% payout we'd see more disposable LP rather than keeping it the same. On to your second point I agree that an LP tax would be a HUGE incentive for the high sec guys! Could also open up new doors for scammers... Could even aid those high sec gankers... recruit and awox  1. Flat Tax. No. What I'm looking at is this: LP pays out 100% to player. There is an additional (1%, .1%, whatever) that generates and goes into the corporate wallet. For NPC corps this will amount to no gain (there are no players able to take advantage of the corp wallet). For player corps; it gives incentive for people to come out of NPC corps and gives a way for corps to help fund ops, etc. 2. Being able to tax LP and Market transactions as a corp? Please no.
That's a more workable idea I think, no trading or taxinf of player/mission corp LP, but a 1% LP recognition of tyhe players corp could work *but* the malcanis thingybob would apply so the major corps would simply benefit even more and become further out of reach for the asmaller corps so on that basis I'm still undecided,,, |

I like the idea of player corps sub-contracting missions...that could be fun, but it would have to be a change where a player corp can set up doctrine ships etc that players can earn LP for. Maybe faction fit for ratting or some suh. Not sure how this would work with some corps already giving ship replacements etc though. This idea would allow for larger corps to sub-con work to newer smaller corps though, maybe a way to engage more players into null...
See, I'm not anti-goon, just anti big groups cutting out possibilities for smaller groups :D |
