Yes you can appoint EVE players as director, just make sure you trust them because it gives them a lot of access.



We have been discussing this internally. Would players be interested in corporation tax? What tax rate would you set? Should we add a tax to the NPC corporations to encourage players into player corps?

Theses are the kind of questions being asked, and I would love to hear your feedback on them.

YES

Tax as % of income AND Tax as monthly/weekly lump sum. Give the option for one or the other to allow different corp styles. Some prefer % rate, some prefer the idea of having a monthly/weekly fee for being a corp member.

As for NPC corp taxes YES If anything id say stick it around the 10% mark, high enough to be a substantial loss in tax and motivate people to move into player corps not so high that people who don't want to join a player run corps cant swallow the pill, but NPC corps should not be a tax haven.

The weekly lump sums are tough to do because what if it puts the users wallet into the negative?

I run a corp with well over 700 people in it. Dozens of emails warning me that dudes are poor is *just* what I was looking for.

We would likely do it as a percentage of ISK earned for each battle, and even show it on the end of battle screen.

All taxes should be taken straight off the top, all other methods should be disregarded. Rat bounties get taxed straight off the top, all things that can/will be taxed, should be taxed straight off the top.

A thought that I had while reading about corps using taxes as a CTA-leash: Why not allow us to tax different activities individually? Manufacturing tax, merc tax, PI tax, ratting tax, sales tax etc; give us the ability to tax each income generating activity individually. Beyond that, why not give us the ability to assign a Wallet Division to each corp member? I am not talking about giving them access to it with roles or titles, I am talking about assigning which wallet division their taxes are deposited into. Another thought that occurs is to allow us to assign a Wallet Division to activities as a whole. For example, all rat taxes go into the Military Wallet Division, all sales taxes go into the Sales Wallet Division and so on. Each Wallet Division could then have a flat general tax on its income which would then be deposited into the Master Wallet.

For a mission running corp or a mining corp taxes might initially seem like charity to a new player in Eve. I'll get to how it *may* work for un-implemented features of Dust.

Many Eve corps eventually have corp assets like research and manufacturing POSes that need to be both bought and maintained, both with market resources and labor. If a member wants to use or in any way benefit from those assets, they need to be paid for by those using them or benefitting from them. Taxes. Wars come and defenses need to be mounted, or mercenaries hired. Taxes.

In any working environment, you are expected to bring the basics with you. For simplicity, let's call the basics a pair of boots and willingness to do the job. After that, it is expected that the employer foot the bill for any advanced materials and training.

In Dust, would you expect your army to fund themselves? If not, where does your corp get the money to keep fighting? From the CEOs personal wallet? Dust promises to those armies conquerable territories that can be upgraded for both defense and material productivity. Direct conflict to gain and hold those assets cost money.

Direct conflict to gain and hold those assets cost money. Where exactly do you expect that money to come from? Lemme guess, I dunno, so long as it ain't me.
