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.
Hallelujah!!!
I don't think you'll find any CEO who has been banging the drums about roles more and longer than I have. I'm sure FoxFour and Nullabor will confirm this.
The squad member role is needed at the moment for the reasons that have already been stated.
I'd like to ability to combine the roles below Director as well. It would give us CEO a bit more fine control to create tailored roles to our needs.
The names I'm OK with but perhaps the ability to rename them at a corp level is within possibility? Maybe Combat Officer for Squad Leader and Combat Specialist for Squad Member.
I like the idea of Quartermaster for the COO. We'd have no end of applicants if it means they get a chance to be called Q.
I love the idea of platoons for different dropsuit specialities and as team size increases happen the ability to change the default names for squads will be gratefully received.

My concern is now CCP are talking about having roles, we handicap them by making them too complicated. The roles and descriptions that FoxFour listed in the OP are perfectly fine to be going on with for the moment.
As I stated before the Squad Member should be included. It may seem like micromanagement to some but plenty of corps want to completely control who enters PC lobby.
I would also ask that these roles and titles be visible in the info panel of each player. Or perhaps the lettering or background on the players 'badge' in the chat channels can be colour coded so that others in the corp can instantly recognise them as someone in authority and what rank they hold.
With that in mind I'd like to reserve a red and black checkered background with gold lettering for CEO.  |

When you give us that feature, I know a lot of corps will want a specific role for who's allowed to spawn those.
Also, some people have mentioned here that they want to give these roles custom names internally. In a related vein, I'd like to see maybe in addition to roles something like a title system. Some important corp positions don't actually need special access to unique tools to fulfill their duties, but it is very nice for them to be specifically designated as filling that position.
Some examples are: diplomat, teacher, communications officer, propaganda officer...
I'm certain many corps would like to give the people who fulfill those positions the metaphorical badge on their jacket showing to everyone who they are and what they do.
+1
I do this currently Eve side for our directors, even though they can't see them in Dust. Having it so it can be done in Dust and seen by all the members of corp will go a long way to give players a sense of accomplishment. |
