I'll take "what is a Corp hangar?" for $500

And what if your alts are in different corps? Or if you're not the only one in your corp, and you can't get your own corp hangar as all are already used for something?

Manage your assets better, keep things in stock that you need, or stop being lazy and just switch characters, make a contract real quick, and switch back.

I used to be a fan of this - but not in many of the ways people won't it, with the way EVE works.

Now - I could see an option added that allowed players to "link accounts" this would link all assets, mail, contact list, API etc.

Corporation spies would not want to use this - b/c corporation security officers could see all the characters linked to that players hanger.
Having great power of access also needs to be overly open for security purposes.
As a player with a few accounts and active played toons, in the same Corp, this would be a great benefit to me, as well to others. If I joined a Corp with one and left my accounts linked or linked them afterward it would notify the CEO/director/Recruiter person.

If you want something this powerful, you have to be willing to make sacrifices of equal or greater value.

This actually doesn't sound like a bad compromise. The only issue is that it provides an option, which means that players can still have spy accounts and asset sharing could still be exploited.

I really don't understand the not wanting this ability. Everything against it people said they don't like the capability already exists in the game as it is today in EVE. You can trade all your items and isk between all your accounts and all your toons. However, the interface is just a real pain in the but and a waste of time. Either having toons in station together either trading or using the private contract system to pass items and using "Give ISK" to trade money.

All that exists. All I want to do it make it easier for you to be able to do that without all the trading and market interfaces. Not adding any additional API intel feature or ability to be able to hand off to Corp/Alliance. Basically you would submit all your information for the accounts linking them so CCP knows what you are the owner of all the toons and accounts. Then all the toons hangers would be viewable and accessible by any other toon linked in this way.

Not asking for anything "powerful" just an easier method to do what I can already do. Just without having to us "Give ISK", Contracts and Trading interfaces.

You got that correct! Not to mention the problem with non director toons or just the pain in grant accesses and roles. It seems like it would be a really easy feature to add.

You guys are really complicating something very simple.

All that would need to be added it a "Link Account Page" on the "Account Management" section of the EVE website. You would input the User Name and Passwords of all the accounts you have and hit submit. Just have an "Add Account" button and it gives you two new fields for each additional account. You would then verify this by doing the same thing in with the other accounts. That is how verification of who owns what accounts (and toons associated with those accounts).

Then in game now every linked toon can see and has access to take from and put item in every other linked toons hanger. Problem solved.

This would be very easy to do.

No API or other weird abusive methods. You could not exploit this because you would have to have the account user name and password. Which means if you already had someone else's user name and password you could exploit them regardless of this ability.

That sounds like a terrible idea.

I say if you are going to support this idea, go all the way. Let people share hangars with complete strangers if they want.

What could possibly go wrong?

The only person that you are sharing your hangers with is you. You sharing your hanger with yourself.

You are missing the point on the abuse...

Prime example of a possible abuse/exploit

Here I have gone and snuck into a Providence Block Alliance - I meet the people, I build trust and I work my way up the ranks.
Now, I have shared hangers and Providence is NRDS, (Not red don't shoot). Under the linked accounts, with no security of APIs etc, I could steal every blooming thing I get my hands on, and slap it in a hanger for another toon, who is neut or blue via being in another Providence Block Alliance.

All my Alliance mates would see is that I took all their stuff. I would then have an easy time setting my medical clone to my NPC starter station, and let them clean clone me home. And they, the players in the alliance and collation are none the wiser that they still have spies, which are then capable to easily sneak the stuff out or sell it for ISK.

---Having this shared hangers overly simplifies the possibility of abuse.

---You have to have checks and balances dude. Yeah, It might only be my accounts linked - but all my accounts are in the same corp. What if your a player who purposely has like 30 accounts, just for the sole purpose of spying and stealing from other players, you just made it supper easy for them, because with out the information being supplied via API to corp leaders and security officers, on who is sharing hangers with whom, you'd see a massive drop in large corps b/c they wouldn't be able to trust anyone. And trust in EVE is all ready a thin and nearly dead subject.
