Hey guys,

We are currently working on roles for DUST corporations and I wanted to gather some feedback from you guys on the roles we will release with.

Currently we are looking at:

CEO: There can only be one. Does everything.
Director: Can do everything the CEO can except assign the director role. Only the CEO can do that. CEO and directors are the only ones to assign any roles at all.
Accountant: Has full access to the mercenary wallet.
Personal Director: Can accept applications to the corporation.
Chief Operations Officer: Deal with all DUST logistics. For now this is planetary conquest, but may later involve other things.
Squad Leader: Can join corporation battles solo or as squad leader with squad members that do not include corporation members.
Squad Member: Can join corporation battles solo.

The squad member role is being debated highly, we don't really think it adds a whole lot when everyone will generally be joining in squads anyways.

I would love to hear what you guys think of these roles, their names, and their purposes.

As a CEO of a large corp, THANK YOU FOR EXPANDING ON THE DUST ROLES SYSTEM.

All of my concerns with corp management are addressed with this. Squad member flag is probably not needed.

Would it be possible to create a secondary DUST wallet? I'd like to be able to have a MASTER WALLET that only the CEO and full directors can access (where corp donations and passive income go), and a secondary wallet that the rest of the accountants can access for reimbursements, gen packs, etc. I'd like to not have to hold the ISK on a character, and if an accountant goes rogue it minimizes the damage done.

This is a possibility. For now we want to focus on the roles system itself. We can look at the wallets separately.

Sweet - so can I get my Personnel Director to assign me a Personal Director? No, only the CEO and directors will be able to grant roles.

This goes for accountant as well. Chief Operations Officer does need a new name, something that makes it more obvious as a DUST specific role. Possibly terrestrial logistics officer. I would also like to come up with a new name for the squad leader role since there are actual squad leaders for squads. That could be confusing. We are looking at making it so that if you are in a match and invite someone to your squad it pulls them directly into the match. If we can do this then I believe we can remove the need for the squad members role. Removing the squad member role is really nice because it means having to manage less roles. And when only directors and the CEO can assign/remove them this becomes important. We should try and get all the functionality needed into the other roles. If we have terrestrial logistics officer for managing planetary conquest stuff, what about terrestrial combat officer for squad leader stuff? Also, as a tid bit, while we are not actually working on it yet we are thinking about a new feature... well not really new just expanding on squads. Platoons. >:)

I'd love to be able to join a squad and (queue up to) join the battle that they are in. Related - why do we have to return to the MQ after each battle? Why can't we just stay in a battle type, like other FPS games (CoD, BF3, etc). I like your suggestion of title for the 'Squad Leader' role: Combat Officer fits nicely. We call that the carousel, going from match to match, and we have it in development.

Work for it is ongoing unfortunately we are coming up to summer here in Iceland and generally speaking this is when everyone takes their vacation. I can't give an exact date, but we want it done as soon as possible.

You know, summer and all. It's not so crazy at our China office, but here in Iceland it is just something the country does. Everyone takes their vacation in July and August. While it can tend to mean less large feature development because everyone is not gone at the same time those that are around the office generally work on small things and get lots of them done. Last summer I spent some time cleaning up the market for EVE. Not something I can really get onto a big feature release, but something that was really needed and I could do on my own while others were not around.

Sooner is better than later tbh. Is this something you can answer? It is not something under active development, it is on our backlog but has not been put on our roadmap.

Being a CEO of a new corp that has grown considerably in the last few weeks I would love a more detailed ranking system. Right now Im using this very system but its more ghost ranks than anything, I would love to actually grant the title to people so they can feel like they are somebody and not just a fake director haha. Thanks Fox for reading No, not in 1.2 sorry. Later this year though.
