only made it to the end of page one, but the concept of corporation tax is very much necessary IMO. we are working for/running our very own vicious and cut-throat CORPORATIONS, who wont be able to support themselves if we rely on an honor system...
i feel that the taxes being able to be different between DUST and EVE would be unnecessary amount of effort required from developers, creating a new interface for it or adjusting the existing one, then splitting the codes between what comes from whos wallet and what it shall be labeled as once it reaches corp wallet...
having said that though, there are a few choice situations where i could see the tax rates being a point of conflict within a corporation between EVE and DUST, case and point, when you NEED to force your EVE pilots out to a deployment, to break them from their isk farming, you crank up the tax so they either pay the corp 60% of their income or go lose some ships with everyone else like theyre supposed to. and THIS could cause friction between DUST and EVE in the major nullsec corporations and alliances... but truly, the income differences between EVE and DUST, so long as these corporations have semi competent directors running the show, they should be able to support the DUST mercenaries with ISK infusions from the corp wallet as needed... but these DUST mercs should be fairly well situated before hand anyways.
as for NPC corp taxes, i feel that should be a given... theyre being run by invisible overlords who have big plans, how are they to support their agendas without income from their minions?
the only other alternative to corp taxes i can think of would be some sort of goofy corporation bonus ontop of the individual contract payout, would keep people from raging that their overlords are stealing their iskies if it was income they couldnt have anyways, but i dont like the idea of some complicated corporation bonus when we are forced to spam into pub matches with little to no real impact on anything. this is just stating there might be an alternative, but it would be considerably harder than the concept of taxes to design and or implement, and require a lot more balancing than letting the players hold the reigns. |
