Common issues I see in interface of corp management are:
Use of shares is rudimentary at best.
- Shares are a risk to corp security, and server little to no purpose. If shares are going to be part of the security of a corp they should have a greater functionality applied to them.
- First, bulk voting should be an option, it simply doesn't make sense to have to vote yes or no to every single item.
- Second, founder of the corp should automatically get all the shares, this happens in the real world when the owner of a corp makes the corp public.
- Third, remove the dividends option from them and build that into a separate tool with "stock." Have a buyback program in which the corp can put up stock for a price, with an interest rate, and then have the option to buy back. Have an expiration date applied in which can be extended with mutual agreement or the taxes are applied to the stock value till they are paid off.
- Fourth, shares (not stock) should be limited to only people part of the corp, this effectively gives a fix to the issue where people retire with so much stock that the corp has to be abandoned and rebuilt under a new name.
Corp hangers are limited and need greater expansion.
- We need more hangers at the corp level. Corps have several jobs, and the hangers often have to be merged to deal with multiple jobs because of lack of hangers. Command will often have one, the POS managers, FCs will have assets, Capital pilots in which fuel, cynos and such are stored, a Ship replacement program will need one, industry requires on for BPO/Cs, and then the general membership one. I'm sure corps have more jobs than that, but already I'm up to eight different needs for a secure storage.
- Then the HUGE issue is a lack of logging. I can't see who has taken or added items to the hanger. I want to know who has borrowed a corp asset and forgot to return it, or maybe a theft has happened and we need to do an audit. Logging will give the corps more freedom in expanding the use of hangers to more members, as it stands now it's a needed resource and yet a great risk, so corps excessively restrict the access.
Voting is a horrible experience.
- Bulk locking / unlocking of items, as well as bulk voting on the items. The current process could take an extensive period of time if the corp has hundreds of blueprints, which is not uncommon in Eve. This leads to people restricting access to them rather then dealing with the inconvenience associated with the locking process. Also why is there a voting process if only one person has shares? The CEO is going to take all the shares, for security reasons, but if he is the only voting official, why should he have say yes to his own action?
Member List information is limited.
- Can we add an Alt function to the list so we can have an in game tool to manage who is who. It's common place to have multiple toons in a corp. As of right now any corp with decent numbers uses out of game rosters to manage people.
Need more wallets.
- While we do have seven wallets, and we can rename them. We need more wallets to manage access to money better. I would go as far as to request a total of 15 wallets going forward.
Offices should have a function where I can remotely close them.
Roles, and I know you've seen this before and I won't beat a dead horse. So I'll keep it very basic:
- Allow to assign more than the HQ/Based at/Other options to a pilot. We'd rather be able to apply roles to individual offices if we don't want to give them blanketed roles. Better than having the current system, I'd rather see the ability to right click on a hanger and change its access by allowing us to put in a title, role or character name and select query or take permission.
- Junior Account is wide open. Can we have the ability to limit what wallet balances they can view as well as if they can see bills.
- Split the Communications Officer role, book market access and MOTD access should be separate roles. Corps often need several people to handle book marks, but the MOTD doesn't need to be accessible by the same people.
