With alliance names not even appearing in-game, DUST players have to rely on third party EVE tools to see what's what. That affects every player in Planetary Conquest. As someone with an active EVE account, I'm constantly solicited to bridge the gap by looking up employment histories, alliance membership, corp sizes, etc.

It's crippling to the MMO nature of the game for this information to be totally unavailable to DUST players.

I'm so baffled by the DEV response to this - it borders on an asinine scolding with a smirking, "It's the New Eden Meta Game!" but it's not like Dust is a F2P game advertised on the PS3 network which is a console, not a PC, where a great deal of players are not going to be from Eve or even know very little of Eve or know why they should potentially know about Eve (because of something like this). This is seriously a critical oversight and what is even more shocking is the, "This is your fault because you want to have access to content that you should already have!"

You got ****ed out of your corp due to the inability to assign shares from the dust client.

Good luck man. I hope you get your corp back. This is not your fault either. The fault relies in a broken system between the eve and dust corp UIs.

The players name as i found out from Vala is: Jihad Destroyer 011011

I call BS on this. I'm a 6 year veteran of EVE and I put little thought into shares as they play such a minuscule role in most activities. If a DUST player can create and manage a corporation but be bitten by a rarely used element of its sister game then there is a problem. The first step is to educate the DUST player. The second is to fix it. CCP can at least make an official and prominently posted warning of the dangers of transferring the CEO title to a pilot for any length of time.

A quick check on the attributes of Dust Core from Eve side indicates that at one point in time someone added shares to the corporation. Current number of shares is 1001, which is 1 more share than what a new corporation starts with. I would guess that when a director he added one share and transferred it to himself to allow himself a foothold if it was ever needed.

Which leads to why I call this a bug & exploit. If your in EVE/in a EVE corporation & you haven't heard of this, then it happens to you. You get a notice like Vala got a notice telling her & if your in EVE you have the ability to fight it so it's FAIR if you loose but you don't hear of this type of thing in EVE anyway because no 1 EVE player can use it against another EVE corporation easily & successfully.

Now this is where it becomes a bug/exploit if your a Dust corporation you don't have any tools for share's or warning or explaination of them. So you go to enter a alliance which is a necceisty in Dust 514 for almost every succesful corporation, but you need a EVE player to do it which this is where EVE guy's like Jihad know you NEED them & they are counting on you to count on them (which is by itself, makes no sense you have to do all this to enter a alliance anyway.)

So you make them CEO & they do this, then you have no way to fight it on the Dust side at all so they can overthrow a corporation of over 1000 Dust players with the mighty vote of 1? If that's not a exploit idk what is apparently.... The arguement it isn't a exploit is flawed.
