Assuming that corps and taxes are still a thing in Nova can we get a 10% NPC tax rate to encourage people to join player corporations

I never really understood that. If taxes is the main purpose for joining a corp won't they just make there own. Not against it just because I feel like it does not matter either way. Just always found it strange.

I think if you are in a NPC corp, you should be considered a beginner where you get less rewards for everything; be it PVE, PVP, etc. There would have to be a well made system put in place though simply to ensure players won't simply make their own corp with their alts though. That's what makes sandbox game design truly tricky as you not only have to make a game for players actually playing the game to do what they want but have it locked down enough to not be exploited by those looking to exploit the game however they can.

It's not that 1 player corps are bad, it's that active corps need to have a tax rate to fund their activities. For new players going from 0% tax rate it seems like joining a Corp is a con

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

How much income are new players actually generating? Very little.
Give them some Dailies/EOM salvage newbro suits and they'll make a profit

Early on, I always let my corp members know where ISK was going. I even held lotteries for the most active members with some unused funds. That was while there was still corps battles and earlier though. Once PC came, DUST became all about that. There needs to be something beyond mere war contracts to put corp funds toward. Also, there needs to be other perks being within a corp like easy in corp trading and the like. If Nova is more like EVE though, trading and other stated features should be there. .

It is easier to join a large Player Corp than it is to create your own Corp, so most casual players will join large casual Corps to avoid taxes.
If someone feels antisocial enough to want to create a Corp just for themselves, who are we to stand in their way.

Besides, most corp have some for of tax between 1-10%. Best players be immediately introduced to the idea of tax, and then feel rewarded when they do join a player corp by enjoying a better tax rate.
That's how it was in EVE when I first started. Do they still do it that way?

I'm not sure how well NPC corporation taxes translates into DUST 514. In Eve the NPC corp tax is basically a way to dodge wardecs from s00p3r l33t high sec wardeccers. You are effectively paying a fee to avoid being harassed. The drawback is losing all the positives that come from player corp membership like citadel ownership.
But in DUST you couldn't wardec people. Maybe in project nova you can, but we don't know yet.
I'm going to withhold judgement on NPC corp tax until I see more of what project nova offers.
My advice to you, playa.

NPC corps having a tax rate will not drive people from the game. It will simply be accepted as the norm. There would be plenty of player run Casual Corps with 0% tax rates run by player CEO's that measure their self worth by their membership counts. Of course such Corps might not offer as much in the way of services, but that is the trade-off with taxes.
I set my tax rats at 0% most of the time, but the truth was that Immortal Guiides was a charity. We made way more through charitable donations than we every would have by increasing our tax rate.

It would be good if we could have Corp Fits that Directors could create and people with a certain role in the Corp could use. Give the ability to restrict their use to District Combat, Faction Warfare, or open them for use in any match depending on what the Corp specializes in. Directors could replenish the supply of Corp fits using Corp funds. Just an idea.

NPC corporations will always have a tax of 11%.

It's so long since I played EvE in an NPC that I don't remember ever paying Corp tax to an NPC corp. I don't know if Corp taxes were added since the last time I played an NPC corp or I just never earned enough ISK in one go to pay the tax.... But I remember vividly having to suddenly pay tax when I joined my first ever player Corp (Rogue Clones, which I still belong to today), so either the threshold changed or NPC Corp taxes were introduced since then. |

Be nice if they redisnged the game so that corps paid the mercs... I mean, it seems a little odd that people would pay to work for someone... That sounds like something Donald Trump would like to happen.
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.

So you want to make corp fragmentation for the sake of fragmentation?
I really don't think you've realized just how many people would make single-player corporations that would literally be nothing more than a waste of space on the server's memory files.
Something like that is not only bad for the server, but encourages Isolationism. Once someone is Isolated or makes a corp with "their own special name" they won't be likely to join another corp, or even look at one you made.
0% on the NPC corps was probably the smartest way to go about this.
It also means that players who get scammed from a money soaker corp/ have a fallout with corp, have a place to default to so they can recover, as permanently losing the playerbase is always a bad idea.
The concept of "Death by a thousand cuts" is something all game designers have to consider when making something. If they can just stonewall a cut that is perceived to come from the game, and not the players, then it's a good idea to do so.
The EvE universe is already geared toward Players inflicting thousands of pains upon other Players. The game doesn't need to fill the gap for a service players are already providing.
