DUST Search - Clan Skills

I think wow has guilds.

Some games don't have any in game recognition of groups of players and have clans. Nothing would stop a group staying in npc starter corps and organizing a clan through a website or something, putting a tag in bio. The in game corps are more complicated. Basically a clan with assigned roles, leaders, taxes(can be set to zero), displayed friend/enemy status, and assets.
Clan members can't steal a clan's assets or dissolve it overnight, so recruiter don''t have to be as paranoid as eve corps.

The corp skills tree isn't that big or hard to train, and if corps are still intended to include both dust and eve players, they will have to match. If I remember right, was never into running corps in eve, only the ceo needed the skills. The directors had the same authority, so dust corps that didn't want to skill could hire a eve player to be a figure head and orbital support, make sure they are trustworthy though.

90% of dust players won't have to worry about the difference, only people that want to play the corp management mini-game. The faction war comes with npc tax free corps, for people that want to bypass all the eve corp complication. I did this in Eve, so it should be easier in dust if anything.

The Robot Devil 45	Posted - 2012.08.08 14:09:00 - [1] - Quote In EVE to start a corp you have to train a skill and to have more than a few members you have to level up. Corps also charge taxes and dues, and if a corp wants to have different races you have to train another skill. Will DUST make mercs train to make clans and will we pay taxes to corps and Concord? I wanted to hear what non EVE players thought on taxes and clan skill. The comand suit may use a skill like this.

Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2012.08.08 17:09:00 - [4] - Quote I doubt we will pay taxes to Concord This only happens when wars are declared as a fee. For taxes paid to the corp, this is determined by corp leadership. I'd you are in an NPC corp them there won't be taxes. Player run corps will make their own choices for or against charging taxes to cover the corp operating costs.

He may be referring to the cost to rent offices...and that I don't think will happen since DUST doesn't need offices in stations. I don't know about taxes though. I am sure there will be corp taxes, but I doubt there will be Empire taxes. As for skills, I would assume that there will be skills needed to run a corporation, fire the sky-fire battery, drop in structures, etc. Just like in Eve there are skills needed to anchor a POS, fire POS guns, have more members or members of different races, etc.

Ahem, It's not just a fps. It's a persistent universe mmofpsrpg or mmorpfpsg im undecided which I'm calling it yet. If you want an fps only go play mag

It's 14 years old, has no "skill levels" and people are still grinding to become better. Like I say, EvE players care. 95% of FPS players couldn't give a monkeys. You know when I say EvE players should let the FPS guys deal with FPS mechanics? EvE players should deal with this stuff.

Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2012.08.08 18:06:00 - [13] - Quote To me the difference is really to do with lore. In eve it is a corporate driven story which is why the title "corporation" works and "clan" doesn't. WoW has clans because it is medieval. Etc.

All clan leaders really need to look at running the clan as a money making machine. money gives freedom , power and the will to fight on what ever boundrys you as a family may face. money is also a route to Greed and Greed to your downfall.

The lore is that you are a mercenary working for a corporation. Even if you are not part of a player run corporation, you are still in an NPC corporation. If you would like to think of a good alternative to "clan" without the formality of "corporation", I would think of something related to mercenaries. Take a look at this page: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/thesaurus-category/british/Groups-of-soldiers I would add one more to this list: unit.

I still play CS daily among other fps's. That argument is beyond idiotic.
