wow, from 20mil to 80mil per clone package... neat way to get the smaller corps completly out of PC, thanx guys! *sarcasm*

We did the math and for corporations that have enough active members to play planetary conquest they should be able to afford this price. It might take them a week or so to get the ISK from scratch, but they can.

Im sorry but you are wrong in that assumption, you assume that with the current flawed way of corporations getting isk ( by donation) works with everyone polling in, but thats not the case as there are no doubt some cheap members in any corp and also i have no way to track who has donated (this seriously needs to get implemented).Without taxes and just relying in the good faith of all the corp members any small to medium corp (mine is i think at 35 members) is at a risk of not getting the isk needed to start in PC. And as you just said "for corporations that have enough active members", by active you cant infer donations. Im sorry for the rant but all i see is mega corps and alliances who already are rich beyond my wildest ideas just getting richer, and small corps who arent able to get donations but have active members, completly out of one of the strong points of why me and certainly many players have kept playing Dust, for not what it is now, but for what it can become.

Well, someone beat me too it. The absence of corporation management tools and interface has been an ongoing irritation. Pertinent to this discussion is: -the inability to set tax rates -the inability to track player donations -the inability to set roles and limit access to the main wallet while preserving other helpful abilities of directors (the only role available) -the inability to email your corporation en masse (unless you have an EVE side director or CEO -even then you have to do a work around). CCP you have done very little to enable corporations to manage and develop their economic interests and I feel that your internal calculations about PC required a lot of unjustifiable presumptions. At a minimum, you have just raised the entry requirements to PC in a way that disadvantages small and medium sized corporations (assuming an even donation rate across the player base).
