AWOXING
A pretty big topic around these parts and something a lot of people have different opinions on. To be clear we don't want to make this kind of gameplay impossible. However we want to give tools to corporations to help better manage these risks.

In the long term we want to build upon the roles system adding roles to restrict who can enter a battle, who can invite others to battles, and those types of things. That is going to take time but we feel something needs to be added sooner rather than later.

So in the short term we will be adding the ability for a corporation's CEO and directors to kick players on their team from the battle while in the warbarge. Once in the battle the kick option is no longer available.
.

It literally says in the OP that is what we are doing :facepalm:

The real question is timeline for delivery, different features take different amounts of time to create. Anyone with an appreciation for the corporation roles system in EVE might understand the minefield we are stepping into.

Kick from warbarge is not the perfect solution but we can deliver it quickly while we finish up better corporation role management.

So in the short term we will be adding the ability for a corporation's CEO and directors to kick players on their team from the battle while in the warbarge. Once in the battle the kick option is no longer available.

Be careful with this CCP.... You can't kick spies from a battle in Eve Online, you can only destroy them...

I don't have an issue with the AWOXing non-sense... I think it's a viable tactic that eventually will force corporations to own up to their mistakes and actively look at who they're recruiting rather than freely accepting everyone, which a lot of the bigger corporations do.

You should be focusing on implementing API keys instead of allowing directors/CEOs to up and kick someone from the battle

PREVENTION, not REACTION. The entire premise of New Eden being dangerous is that you only trust the people who are at arms length and that should never change.

IMHO, your comparison is flawed, and will be flawed, until such a time as DUST becomes an open-world sandbox. If that day comes, then I can see your point that a corp can only limit someone from entering the battlefield if they can fight them off.

Currently PC battles are like gentleman's duals. Two sides agree to fight at a specified time, location, with a limited amount of mercs and clones, for a limited amount of time. Both sides agree to abide by the results of the dual until the next dual is arranged. All other corps are prevented from interfering. After the dual is arranged, the corporation supplies the clones, and the clone spawning mechanism that allows mercenaries to join a battle. So it makes sense that a director in the corporation can prevent someone from entering the battle, or cut them off from more clones once the battle starts. This is very similar to having access controls on corporate hangers or on the Player Owned Starbase. Would you argue that an EVE corporation should not be able to restrict access to corporate assets? Because that is honestly what it sounds like you are saying.

Thank you foxfour.

Promises are not important. Date are not important.

Regular communication is. Treating us likes friends and allies, throwing us small bones of information, making us feel important; these things can be done with just a few paragraphs each week. And forum warriors like myself will spread the word to all our friends in-game. It will keep community moral up and everyone will be happier for it.

So again, thank you.

When you create a new corporation with a dust character the shares of the corporation are automatically moved to his character to prevent exactly this, it has been this way since corporation were introduced into Dust. This however does not apply when a Dust character gets appointed CEO to an already established corporation.

When the Dust Ceo then resigns the shares are either moved to the corporation again( if new Ceo is an Eve character) or to the new Ceo( if is dust character).
