The foundational issue for CEO's and Directors at the moment, is implementing security measures within their Corp. The solution should not be to create another Corp, and I think CCP understands this.
The solutions are found in management options and structure that puts power into the hands of the employer, without disenfranchising the employed.
-Promotion in the ranks - Making it impossible for players to lead a Corp squad into a PC game without being of sufficient rank. ie. CEO promotes "Insert Name" and that player can now lead a squad into PC. In this way, CEO's have some control over who enters PC as a squad leader. Of course once in the game, this requirement is dropped so other players can be promoted if need be.
-Command structure during battle - Communication that allows a designated officer in the Corp to give orders to all squads. If a spy is identified, the officer can communicate that to their squads, and contain them, even mark them as a traitor. (Could make for some fun >:D
- CEO's could be given a view of members in their corp, and a simple toggle that indicates "approved for PC". In this way, CEO's and/or directors can decide who in their corp is cleared for Planetary Conquest. This would create the same separation as a trainer corp, but within the same corp.
TL;DR: Provide Command structure, and CEO permissions to promote and assign roles, rather than punitive kicking. |

*how come you didn't think of that?*
shut up. I like that idea.  I know its simple stupid you'd think we (all) would have came up with it earlier.
Maybe because this has been suggested months ago and multiple times in this thread.
You say, give us ideas to fix this problem! So we do, and you ignore them because they can't be hotfixed. Well you asked for Roles, Corp tools and Flagging, and said "outside of kicking". How are we to know what is hotfixable and what requires more? I can't give ideas on something you haven't even defined. No wonder some people are exasperated with the CPM. |

I won't know until I ask either. Passwords are 'feasible' but the hardest of the options right now.
Okay I understand then.
I'm not sure how long another solution is away, but I prefer the toggle idea that you can choose to allow only Corp members into PC battles, or open it. It seems simpler than the password to implement, and I don't feel the Corp communication tools are adequate to make the password idea work without a lot of frustration at the moment.
Probably the easiest to implement idea I had was to make a Market item that was a "PC pass", ensuring that players have enough SP to obtain it, as a barrier to newly created alts being spies. This makes spies have to work harder on the character in order to sabotage someone, and this would create a barrier to people being unattached to that character since they will have had to play it long enough to get there. I would bury it into the skill tree, behind a core skill, and make people aware of it.
ie. requiring engineering and others to be at skill 1 before it can be obtained. |

Interesting idea with the PC Pass
Just want to make sure you are aware, it is possible for a more experienced spy to bring in a squad of newly created alts and then leave the battle so no ones knows who brought in the Awoxers...thus why your idea and the password ideas make a certain bit of sense but they don't address the real problem.
Passwords could be exploited to bring in a squad of alts yes, but a PC Pass would not. Every alt would need a PC Pass, not just squad leaders. |

agreed if the PC Pass was high enough in SP. As in in order to participate in PC a merc needs to have 5 million SP...
Though is a few months, all of the passive SP alts out there will have that much SP.
Thus, I still urge a Director kick all, squad leader kicks squad option.
I think we need to get through to a more permanent solution, so having an SP requirement would be simple to implement, and buy a couple of months while they get the roles sorted out. |
