I was wondering if I could appoint an EVE player as Director in my corp or if that feature has not yet been implemented.

I also wanted to know if there will ever be a feature to tax and pay corp members in Dust

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.

I'm not a CEO, but I've heard my CEO talk about it.

Tax rates should be set by the CEO and automatically deducted once a week, or daily, or however he sees fit.

Percentage of weekly earning, or daily, or a set amount of ISK.

That'll be cool

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

whatever changes are made should be applied to both halves as a blanket change rather than a "it works differently over there than it does here" change.

That's the real kick in the nuts here, because it does work differently over there than it does here. Miners can mine ore all day and sell it straight to the market and NO corporate tax is applied. So my miners run tax free and my guys accomplishing missions are getting taxed. Go figure right?!!

hey DEV how do you think EVE players would be affected by taxing if they join a Dust Corp

That is not a fluke. The refining station gets the refine taxes. In hisec, that station is an NPC station. If you owned that refine station you would pull in taxes. Nullsec is thataway---->

I never said they refined the ore, sold straight to market

Fully on board with the taxation, it should be set by the CEO or... well we are in beta, lets test it as a weekly tax of 5% of your incomes, or a 20% of you every match income.

Also , NPC corporations should have some kind of tax, but maybe a 35% tax or higher to encourage players to join a player own corp.

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.

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

I've actually heard that there are corps who demand 200k per day from every member or they get booted. I think that is hilarious.

yeah, see...corp tax should DEFINITELY be implemented.

I would recommend, a tax after each game because if it is monthly or weekly, then players will buy in bulk right before taxes are taken out.

I also feel that the tax rate should be left up to the CEO. And if possible...allow CEOs to make adjust different tax rates for different roles. Or, allow the CEO to, manually, input the tax rate for each player.

would this tax have an effect on the Market?

Yes to taxes as a percentage (set by whoever has the rights to do it) same as Eve-side. Go ahead and tax PvE activity or any other NPC seeded contracts.

However, I want a system in place so that if I fight for another corp or my own (read: Plantetary Conquest) , I get paid for it. Otherwise I'm paying money to be part of a social club.
