So CCP is going to intervene in lawful use of this that happened prior to this announcement, but not intervene in future abuses, simply because this post exists? I mean, a lot of people are not avid forum readers.

You're welcome

Also you should still be very cautious with giving over the CEO position to an untrusted Eve player ... since CEO can make a vote to create new shares.

What happens then I'm not sure, since you hold all the shares there will be no votes cast so presumably no new shares can be created.

Dev confirmation on this scenario could be helpful to many.

Thanks.

In this case, the vote would pass and the new shares would be created that could then be assigned to anyone by an EVE Director or CEO. This is to prevent cases where the only shareholder disappears and thus no votes can ever pass. In this instance (EVE CEO that doesn't have any shares) I would assign the shares to another EVE Character (doesn't have to be in the same corporation) and if a vote is called, have them vote against adding additional shares.

Funny how there has never been any mention of plans to add these features to Dust anywhere in the near future. I outright question CCP's priorities when it comes to the development backlog. Corporation management is as much of a core game mechanic to Dust as hit detection. That is, unless CCP actually thinks that the shooter aspect is what differentiates Dust from other shooters and not the whole corporate aspect.

For a gameing universe where corporations are all powerful and the bedrock of the sandbox, the fact that we as a community have had to fight and pester for every bit of corp UI we've had so for is simply not on really.

Corp mail, notifications, Mark all Read, Delete All, roles, titles, Chat admin, give money, corp wallets, taxation, wallet divisions, player trading.... All of these should've been the minimum we had from day one.

This share issue is something that was going to happen at some point because it seems that properly working corp UI is at the very bottom of the to do list.

I hope that the silver lining in all this is that it gets bumped up much that list now that it's come to the attention of the larger community. But us corp ceo's and alliance leaders have been banging the drum on this issue from the closed beta and onwards.

This is like saying "Hey kids, go out and play." but when some stranger walks up to them to offer them candy you get enraged and beat them. But you never taught them not to talk to strangers.

Not everyone came from eve. Not everyone knows how ridiculously harsh that universe is. So being scammed from a game they're not even familiar with and do not even play but have to abide by the rules just to obtain partial mechanics from is rather harsh. They should have made a dev blog of this tbh.

In order to address some concerns within the community regarding DUST characters and their limited ability to manage corporations when compared to EVE characters, we have updated our evelopedia articles to reflect the current mechanics for corporate shares and voting.


Issues
The specific mechanics regarding corporation shares and voting for DUST characters were not published via persistent wiki or blog, and although we did convey information on some of these corporate mechanics during the beta period, this information did not persist onto the new forums, nor was it readily available in game. This inevitably lead to incidents whereby DUST CEO's could find themselves in a position where they are unable to take part in votes for their corporation, to the point where they may even lose their corp via vote when a shareholder decided to replace them.

Policies
Under normal circumstances CCP customer support are unable to intervene in corporate power struggles and other trust/scam related game mechanics, as we have found that it is the best interests of both our players and CCP that we let our players decide the outcome of every event within normal game mechanics. However in this instance we have determined that DUST players were placed at a considerable disadvantage by being unable to fully access corporate management tools while also lacking the information on these complex game mechanics.

To this end we have determined that the best course of action is to publish these mechanics on our wiki along with this forum announcement in order to educate players as to the game mechanics involved so that they may protect themselves accordingly.

So now that this has been posted and the warnings are plain for everyone to see can we get back to our regularly scheduled destruction of corps the old fashioned way without fear of GM interference and steal the shares as before?

Or are we still not able to steal shares from corps lead by DUST514 CEOs?
