There is little to no cooperation, so why not just play Call of Duty or Battlefield? Please add this ASAP so the feature isn't buggy when the game is released. I <3 parties. You can bring the speakers, I'll bring the wine cooler and the doritos.
for some of the eve players, a LOT of these screens and menus are familiar to some degree. i would be shocked and amazed if they craft some completely new system for dust, why reinvent the wheel as far as set up. implimentation might need some fine tuning to make things run smoothly, but just like EVE PVP, kitten wont always be 'balanced and fair' whos got the bigger sp pool, whos got the bigger wallet, whos got the better backers, whos got the better experienced players. once they start allowing player contracts in low/null, i anticipate many landslide wins till the TRULY gifted player corps and the dedicated theory crafters putting concept to practice start to distinguish themselves amungst the masses.
for those who dont play EVE or are unfamiliar with its content, current features of the Corporation pages include:
Corp Logo,
Alliance Logo(if applicable),
CEO,
Founder,
Alliance,
Ticker(short name),
Shares,
Member Count,
Tax Rate,
URL(if applicable),
Description page(drafted by corp leaders),
Alliance History,
War History(likely feature to cover combat records, wins/losses vs who, kills/deaths, ?POSSIBLE? kill mails?),
standings(overview of how you/your corp/alliance view them),
other public information includes Sovriegnty(controlled space displayed on map).
Applications can be set to enabled or disabled(invite only or no applications i forget off top my head).
Private information includes:
Bulletins(sort of like standing announcement boards),
headquarter location,
offices rented(corporate storage spaces),
stations OWNED,
recruitment details for those with appropriate roles to set up adverts and filter applications,
memberlists with brief details about each member,
decorations(custom medals/awards by type and lists of recipients),
corporate contacts(player/corp/alliance contacts)
corporate standings(npc standings),
Wars(active war listing only, actually less informative than public war history...),
Alliance details:
alliance bulletins,
executor corp(CEO equiv for alliance level),
Ticker,
URL,
Description,
Created By Corporation(alliance equiv of founder),
Created By,
Dictatorial(??? first time ive even noticed that option),
Settled Systems(list of sovreigty of all corps in alliance listed),
applications,
member corps,
alliance contacts,
public alliance rankings.
FEATURES GALORE, im sure some of this stuff wont make it to DUST, some of it wont be practical or applicable, but some of it definitely should(ie alliance details and contacts for once we can interact between the two systems)
*edit*
stupid formating... draft showed no line breaks when i reloaded it after failed post, sorry for unnecesarily long post |
