DUST Search - Sticky:[Dev post] Corporation Roles

CCP FoxFour wrote:

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.

With the Squad Leader role you could deploy mercs not assigned the Squad Member role so they could participate too but only trusted members would recieve the squad member role. What about an equipment specialist role, with access to the corp hanger? I know we don't have a corp hanger yet so how about a corp hanger and a role to go with it?

That is, generally, how it works in EVE so there is no reason for it to not work that way in DUST. I just don't want them to forget that it needs to be possible. The mirroring of corporate structure wasn't done when Dust first began and we have been discussing it ever since. This is the first big step towards similar structures.

This allows people to work on behalf of the corp but not be a risk. Roles should escalate in terms of their ability to have control over the corp. It should be a tiered system that starts of with being able to view and then being able to interact/control. My accountant pays my taxes and does any number of other things, I wouldn't trust his secretary to pay my taxes, but him I'm okay with. If the roles had levels of interaction associated with them such as wallet access or not I think this may solve the problems you seem to be concerned about. I support the idea that a customizable role system should be put into place so a CEO could assign many small roles to a custom title to assign all at once. This would allow not only the ability to structure your corp as you see fit but to limit access based on criteria that only you may see as necessary. For example Johnny can get access to view the wallet to confirm deposits but cannot make transactions. Bill can make transactions and join PC. Sue Can boot corp members, has access to the wallet can join PC but has no hanger access.

When we have roles in place please start work on platoons, it is already in discussion on the forums and should be looked at: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=910374#post910374 https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=910835#post910835 Team Comms https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=848941#post848941 https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=82623&find=unread
