Quote:As others have said the corps in Dust currently have limited functionality.
However Dust clones can join eve Online corps and visa versa, but the link between the two games in a single corp is still limited at the moment. It is this that holds the clue as to what lies in the future for the Dust corps. As an eve player (and Dust player) I can tell you that the corps in eve are exceptionally powerful and can do the things that you wish the dust corps could do.
It will not be too long before the link between the two games is much stronger and the boundaries between a Dust corp and an eve corp are a bit more blurred.
There will of coarse still be corps that will play only eve, or only Dust, but there will also be many corps that participate heavily in both games.
In you guys opinion, is it going to be essential for Dustcorps to integrate with eve members. Or will it be more worth a Dustcorps while to just form an alliance with an eve corp? Or is this even possible? We had an eve guy for a while and he couldn't ever find us. Is the eve integration limited to corporate battles? Or can they hover over the dusties randomly in public matches?
The things mentioned above give me a brighter outlook on founding a corp, rather than joining up with the front-runners.
I like the idea of shared assets and corporate structures. I think that a more complex role/ranking system within corporations is needed. Right now I think we're at about 20 members and we have 4 directors and CEO governing democratically (to an extent). As the corp grows I think it needs to increase the number of voting "shareholders" if you will, but all of the governing members shouldnt be given the same title and rank as a founding member or a major contributor. It would be nice if the CEO could delegate different responsibilities to the hierarchy for instance, 3 people could make up the treasury dept.,and 3 others could be in charge of recruiting and applications. These could be titles rather than just director. It would also be nice to appoint officers that would have automatic team leader or squad leader privileges. Titles that pertained to a certain SP level would be cool: Prototype Tank Captain or Advanced Turret Gunner. Prototype Logistics Specialst, Advanced Assault Recon, Prototype Ghost Sniper, Advanced Mobile Repair, etc, etc.
It would also be neat if corporate logos were visible on dropsuits and vehicles and installations |
