Even if they give the CEO title back they could have taken shares during their stay which gives them power to boot the current CEO using voting. It seems this is becoming increasingly common and confusing people so we will add a warning about it when you resign from CEO.
The shares and voting system is complicated and we purposefully did not include any of this in DUST. However once you have a mixed corporation you need to understand the implications of having both games involved. Can not directors also take shares from the Corp? my EVE account has director roles and I can see the shares will I not be able to take them if I tried? When a DUST character creates a corporation we assign all of the shares to them, so no, an EVE director cannot take any of the shares. This was done to prevent the exact scenario you described. This case of corp theft by shares only applies if the corp was originally created by an EVE character or if the DUST CEO reassigned the corp to an EVE character at any stage, in which case the shares stay in the corporation wallet.
Good to know. My Corp was created in EVE. I might just put an EVE alt in my Corp and transfer all the shares to that alt. If I decide to pass CEO in the future this will give me a way to take my Corp back if the new CEO does something stupid.

Give back all the shares to that guy and his CEO role.
Then add a way to join an alliance from DUST without the need of an EVE character.
Alliances are cool and we will add them officially to DUST at some stage but for now they serve little game play purpose and remain an EVE feature just like shares. If you want an alliance you better understand the implications of doing so. Also, you do have control over shares if you assigned the corporation to an EVE character they can take the shares out of the corporation wallet for safe keeping before giving back the CEO to the DUST character. This all assumes you trust the EVE character though, which is a tough commodity to come by in this game.
EVE Players in the same Alliance can provide Orbital Support in a Planetary Conquest battle. |

Good example, however I would much rather spend time on allowing people outside of your alliance to provide OBs as well. More bang for our development buck.
Good point. If a DUST Corp could create a contract for EVE mercenary pilots to do OB, that would definitely be superior. It would provide a whole new area of job possibilities for EVE pilots, and ones that you can get into in a Destroyer, so very new pilot friendly. You get a like for just suggesting it. |

This i like Currently Alliances in DUST are in FW My EVE toon doesnt want to do FW, just relax and muck about but i cant provide OB unless im in the allinace which means im in FW But what is to stop any EVE player from turning up and bombing the **** out of 1 side or another whenever a SL calls in a strike? Or is that whole point of allowing EVE players to not be in the same alliance, so they can turn up at random and just sell services maybe or just grief
I assume that a DUST Director would create a contract that EVE pilots could accept which would all the EVE pilot to perform OBGÇÖs in support of the DUST Corp. |

While EVE (and now DUST) is all about the scamming and the cheating, it is just as much about smart play to protect yourself from the scamming an the cheating. CCP cares just as much about balancing this as they care about balancing weapons. This incident, as with the AWOXing incidents, shows that CCP does not accept scamming and cheating that does not have a counter. I am glad that CCP chose to step in and correct this situation. It did not meet the standards of Meta Game balance that we come to expect from CCP. Sort of an oops moment for them I expect. DonGÇÖt expect petitioning to work after they get proper messaging and counter measures in though. |
