An update! :D

Personnel Director will remain being named that as it's name matches the EVE name, and it will be the same role between the two games. 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. >:)

T_T Please keep Squad Members. If a CEO can't handle assigning this role to a large group of players they'll organize their structure. Like for example:

A corp with 100 mercenaries = 10 Squad Leaders + 0 Squad Members
A corp with 10 mercenaries = 0 Squad Leaders + 10 Squad Members

Of course these^ are only examples and some corporation's have more complex structures than just applying a squad leader to every squad of 10 or making all of it's members squad members.

Of course there are obvious uses of the Squad leader role that you have probably thought of such as picking up alliance players, or mercenaries who are hired for the job so I'd like to talk more about Squad Members.

Squad Member Role Can Aid a Corp by:

Allowing a certain group of players to have first response action.
Label members as trusted for battles.
Cutting down time for adding members to a battle.
Allowing only your members to join battles(If you're not using Squad Leader).

Allowing only your members to join battles(If you're not using Squad Leader). The issue is not for corps with 100 members. It's an issue for corporations with 500 or 1000 members. You might already have 25 or more squad leaders in addition to probably 100+ members. If I had to go through a list and put and tag 100+ members then manage that list on a daily or weekly basis, I would be pulling my hair out.
