I'm a bit conflicted when it comes to employment history. When flying with my original character, I had a hard time picking a fight because he was from '05 and thus people presumed "OMG HIGH SP! AVOID OR DIE!". Before I continue let me state a few things in my own defence.
-I am aware that SP does not equal skill -I am aware that not everyone reacts in this manner -I am aware that there are many people which started before '05
Now thats out of the way, frankly, I've been through enough PvP ops with TONS of different people and see the reactions people express when they see a presumed high SP character. It's either a) Engage with a big gang or b) Run. Of course some people engage, there are exceptions to all rules.
Personally I believe that if we remove the dates on employment history it would be better for PvP. I realize that reasons of recruitment, employment history dates are important, but maybe they can be somehow provided at the player's discretion via ingame means? Now this is just a sketch idea and I haven't thought it through completely and it's sure to have holes and such so please don't spaz out. I also thinks this adds somewhat of a bigger challange to PvP, because you don't know what to expect as much. ============================================== The thousand ships of the Black Fleet Corporation descent upon you!

Personally I quite enjoy the "OMG HIGH SP! AVOID OR DIE!" mentality, as I started a trial account just over a year ago and have recently started it up again. Meaning I have a very long employment history but very few skill points. Keeps me out of loads of trouble. Although I may have just ruined that by posting here.

Tbh, if a toon is over say, 6 mos. old I worry more about which ship they're flying. You can only train a cruiser so far, for example... an 8 month toon could have the same skill point allocation as someone brandishing a big, scary '2003' on their employment history. After that it's RL skill, fitting and of course, huge massive balls.
For me, employment history is used more for deciding that the 4 month toon ratting in a rohk (armor tanked, no less) would be fun to attack with my rifter.

employment history is pretty far down the list of things to check if you're worrying about engaging someone. right in there with their bio.. ;p better off paying attention to flight characteristics if they're on grid with you, or pounding the scanner for ship type.

Only corp thief's, corp grievers, and extreme PVP oriented characters want to remove the employment history. Its a great tool to see what a player have been up to. Its also a telltale on those who jump to NPC corps, when their corp get wardeced (this seems to apply too both carebears and lowsec pirates). |

Hence the reason it was suggested that corp history only show to the corp you've applied to or are planning to apply to through some ingame feature. That is the sole reason for Corp History, simply as part of the recruitment process. It's just used by others as a means of determining whether or not you should engage the pilot (and its not even accurate, mostly based on assumption). It's the same as how people are asking to have local removed because people use it as a method of detection. ============================================== The thousand ships of the Black Fleet Corporation descent upon you!

You should be able to say which characters are purchased from their original owners... not that its hard to find out, when youve got a 2003 player, flying around in a worst named t1 fitted caracal, and he doesnt even know what a war target is, yet he has an excellent employment history with many big alliances.

Funnily enough, I've had people wardec my old corp (which is a pirate corp + some industrials, all living in lowsec). Which is strange, because that removes the advantage of sentries being on their side.

Ok, its evident that some people are either not reading fully or not understanding. In the end, this is the system that I'd like to see.
1) When someone right clicks and clicks show info, there is no employment history tab.
2) When someone applys to a corporation, all members of the corporation/alliance can now right click and show info and see the employment history.
3) When someone does a character transfer, that will be shown in the employment history that the character was transfered on X Date and Time.
This will enable corporations to still catch spies and such but the employment history as it is now is frankly quite flawed. Lets say I wanted to join BoB and fit all their requirements, I probably wouldn't because I have Goonswarm on my employment history. *I* have never been on Goonswarm before, but the previous owner of this character was. So why should I suffer his choices. Sins of the father and all that.
Furthermore the comment has been made that:
"Employment history is a awesome tool for gang spotting, etc, especially if you remember who's friends with who and such things."
and I 100% agree, but the fact of the matter is, thats not how it was intended to be used.

I like the history the way it is. Some of my funnest solo kills came back when I had the ASCN tag and got improbable fights such as maller on claw, blackbird on jag, moa on ishkur, etc. [Tri][VSQ]Danari in these same ships 100 times out of 100 won't get aggressed.
On the reverse, I've had some impressive surprises, such as a battle-iteron, and Ramireza in an Osprey on a toon named Caldari Citizen... bbq me. Would I have taken on Ramireza in any cruiser in the game in my Sabre? Oh hell no.
The way I see it, none of those fights occur because there's nothing to represent lack of street cred to prompt aggression.

Employment history is the only in game archive of history in EvE. There many others that have a very colorful employment histories with names that invoke memories of past eras of good times.
I believe that Danari above suggested that his employment history had been beneficial for him and he is immensely proud of it.
I am also happy with mine for many reasons but mostly because it shows that I love playing EvE since Æ05.
When I began, I looked at info for older characters ... I thought how freakin cool this game must be to have a community so into the game that people play for years.
Dimitry,
You bought your current name and so naturally you would want to wipe clean all the history of your current incarnation. Obviously you do not fully accept the identity of Dimitry Kalashnikov and why would you à you continue the name but you did not shape the history of the character. But that would be the consequence of buying a character.
ItÆs understandable you would want the benefit of a skilled character. It would make sense that you would attempt to rally as many sympathizers to this personal notion to change a game mechanic that honors the old timers in a simple way.
I understand.
If you had shaped the history of Dimitry, this post would have never seen these forums. If others had realized upon character creation that they would fall in love with EvE during the trial period they would have not named themselves something so impulsive. The same is true for what corp they had chosen to associate with.
But that is the beauty of EvE à we have history and consequences.
Thos are things I never want to see wiped clean.

Also, I like corp history. Very little in this game goes into the feeling of the world. For myself I like being able to look at my corp history and think fondly on pirating in Null Horizon, or the good times had against REPO in Bloodmoney IncÖ.
For others, I like seeing where they have been. You even run into former corp mates you'd forgotten sometimes

my only problem with Employment history
its it lags the game when you want to check local for pirates :)
all i want to check is their sec status but also it auto opens on employment history which is annoying :)
and i fought 1 year characters who engaged me first so i dont see that as a problem though just laggy :)

Originally by: Dimitry Kalashnikov stuff
Well, I've personally not encountered the high SP syndrom, but then I'm too young of a char to be feared really(jan 2006). On the other side, I find it quite amusing when I pop something and then realize it was some 2004 char 
Very useful tool of reconnaisance when flying solo btw, won't really like to see it removed(as it's challenging enough to solo already). Should be an option maybe to hide all but last employment entities' dates.
Most combat pilots I know tend not to look at character creation date btw, one can not be specc'ed higher than lvl 5 into something anyway. 
Edit. Seems to be somewhat less of stuff to shoot at after I joined Veto though. Maybe you're right..

I had no choice but to buy my toon. I was one of those unfortunate people that didn't listen when people told me "Don't sell your main!", but I did and put the isk on my alt because I was quitting. Upon my return (addicted) I was forced to sell my carebear alt to buy this PvP character.
However the thing is, I don't have a problem with people running away from the age of THIS character. It's the main that I sold, which obviously, I no longer use. So you can see that the main point of this thread was based on past experience and not self interest. I didn't even think of the character transfer thing till someone mentioned it, and frankly it's a great idea.
I will however say one last time. I do not want Employment History wiped clean. I simply want it concealed from the average Joe and make it only visible to corps that you join or are trying to join. ============================================== The thousand ships of the Black Fleet Corporation descent upon you!

Yeah, because Veto is known as very efficent, and having even more efficent gangs ;)
Thinking about it, it's a big thing on your resume - any PvP corp would take a ex-Veto member in with far less checks, you'd naturally assume if someone was in Veto for any prologed period of time that he must know his stuff.

Erasing the employment history on a char transfer doesn't make sense. What keeps say a scammer from transfering his character twice between two of his accounts or between the account of a friend and his own?
The idea of the employment history was that in eve your reputation counts. You can't just use the "get out of jail" card if you screwed up.
Of course the existence of char transfers itself has watered down the principle. So imo it would be best to just ban all character transfers and be done with it.

I personnaly enjoy corp history. Its a very nice thing to see and remember what youve been through and what youve been doing for years.

Not erase. Just have a little marker in there saying "Character Transfered on X Date and Time". ============================================== The thousand ships of the Black Fleet Corporation descent upon you! Our Void L will blot out the sun! |

The orignal suggestion was a flag to say when someone transfered a char, someone else suggested erasing employment history.
So why don't you take you medication and shove it where the sun don't shine.

And i can't comment on something someone else said in this thread exactly why?
And where exactly did i indicate i was commenting on the op specifically? Did i quote the OP? No, i did not. Because i wasn't referring to the Op but to some of the ideas raised in this thread.
And who are you again? You're his mum, right?

I'm one of those that's advantaged by it, first played the trial 2 years ago, but i took some long breaks from the game (rejoined with Trinity). All in all i probably have about 6 months of real gametime.
It's nice that most people assume age = sp, it saves me some trouble because people aren't willing to start things.

I activated the wrong trial account when I bought EVE. ****ed me off initially. 3-4 months in game, 1 year 11 month employment history.
First question when I applied to join one corp: "Why did you go one and a half years without leaving NPC corp?"

Edited by: Simon LBowerbank on 01/03/2008 12:05:11 I agree with the original poster. Why should we automaticaly have access to peoples employment history when we have never even met them before? It should be a page in your character profile for only you to see or perhaps a corperation you are applying to.
Also, a few weeks after activating this account i realised i had a 05 trial account i played for a day.

tbh.. i think its completely irrelevent, BUT does serve an important purpose. for example: speaking from a solo combatants pov, you jump into a low sec system to find some pew pew and youve got 5 locals. 2 are nubbin alts, one is about your age, one is slightly new but worth a squirt and one is zomg beta. you run a few scans and determine ship types in local space. as far as im concerned all the age of that character is relevant to is helping me match ship type to character name based upon approx skill points etc. tbh, if i had a 1 year old char in a cruiser and i was confident with my cruiser skills, and i come up against a 2 year old local i wouldnt think 'omg twice as many skill points runrunlol'- if id base my desicion upon ship type. so- if im sitting there in a t1 cruiser and mr 2yr old player comes along in a cmd ship, yes, id leg it. if they turn up in another t1 cruiser, game on, it going to be a good fight.

To be honest, my employment history's a bit of an embarassment. I was with Luna Rossa Corporation for a long time, but I occasionally hopped around doing things with roleplay corps but getting bored quickly due to my low PvP skill at the time. I then stayed with Luna Rossa for a considerably longer time until Peoke, in a fit of pique, had me kicked out because I questioned his orders. After that I started my own corporation, missioned for a while, then joined Dichotomy, which lasted for about a month before I signed on with Heretic Army. After that I voulenteered to help start up the industrial wing of Heretic Army, Heretic Logistics, and that's where I am now.
My employment history makes me look like some form of corp thief, but that's really not true - I'm just flaky and unsure of what I want . I'd pay substantial ISK to get it removed. ----- "I am prepared to meet my maker; whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." |

I think it should go like this
1) When someone right clicks and clicks show info, there is no employment history tab.
2) When someone applys to a corporation, all members of the corporation/alliance can now right click and show info and see the employment history.
3) When leaving a Corp you should have to give a reason for leaving (not just other) and this should show up on your employment history.
4) When someone does a character transfer, that will be shown in the employment history that the character was transfered on X Date and Time.

Well wouldn't this be kind of redundant? I mean people would just put what they want without having any means of proving what they wrote making it as about as useful as Corp Member Titles.

And precisely why the ideas in this thread should be implemented. It is made as a Resume style tool. It should not be useful in PvP but rather in recruitment only.

However making this thread led other (such as me) to post on what we think about and situations where this has ocured or was disregarded. So back to my post i offered an experiance that just happend today to add to the list of posts. Therefor... 1. I am not dumb(which i might add is a childish word) 2.

I see. So stating an idea in the forum because you think nothing will happen makes it pointless? Well you've pretty much summed up that you shouldn't be listened to. As well I believe that the first person to resort to hurling insults immediately shows that he has no argument and furthermore, is the "dumb" one.
