I can't imagine that having an NPC corp drain resources from players that need ot most to be a good way to retain new players. Especially if F2P is not they business model thwy go with.

I can't imagine that having an NPC corp drain resources from players that need ot most to be a good way to retain new players. Especially if F2P is not they business model thwy go with. New players won't be any worse off (increase tax 10% and income 10%), it encourages them to join something like dust uni, which can offer training and there are no disadvantages. Players engaged in the community are more likely to stick around That just illustrates the great advantage that DUST University had over Immortal Guides. Intuitive name recognition. In Nova I need to pick a better Corp name. Dennie is bound to get in there ahead of me an get Nova University, so maybe I will try to pick up Nova Technical College or The Nova Institute or something. * Replace "Nova" with whatever the game will actually be named when released.
I just realized that if Nova is called Phoenix, then Keval will have Phoenix University. I wonder if there will be any negative associations given the **** poor excuse of a school University of Phoenix.

Phoenix is a great city. Thw University of Phoenix however is a parasite that preys on the lowest people to squeeze as much government grant money and loans as possible in exchange for one of the poorest excuses for higher education I have ever seen.
That is a lot of baggage to carry in a name.
Maybe Phoenix College would be better.

What if people didn't get payed anything for win/lose matches, but instead corps get funds for renting you out (haha yes you all wanna ***** yourselves out for isk...) And your corp determines how much you get payed and what for... Corps could decide if you get payed for win/loss or just daily/weekly/per match.
If salvaging scrap is part of the game, then you can earn some crap that way... But getting into a decent profitable corp would be an important part of the game.
Also corp contracts/PC would be a way to generate additional income/items and no longer would people be trying to get a boat load of useless noobs in to milk isk with heavy taxes.
Maybe when a corp builds its own little empire, they can manufacture powerful shizzle to sell on the open markets... Or just to hoard the best stuff as payment to their corp-mates.
... Just a thought.
That makes sense, given that we are supposed to be mercenaries. Maybe some companies just do better, make more, and can offer higher salaries. NPC corps would be like minimum wage, and player corps would go up from there.
Of course that would mean that we would have to get payments directly from corps vs being paid directly after battles. That could pose its own problems, but at least it would be unique and interesting.
