...so he can rejoin the battle after an accidental disconnection.

How about an Assets Manager? Their job is to manage corporation-owned vehicles, weapons, dropsuits, etc. and create fittings for them.

In my opinion, the accountant should have viewable access to the wallet but cannot withdraw funds.

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.

That is, generally, how it works in EVE so there is no reason for it to not work that way in DUST.

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.

Accountant: Has full access to the mercenary wallet.

Do you mean Corporation wallet? Because I don't want anybody having any access to my wallet.

I think squad member is a bit unneccessary. almost everyone will be going in in a squad, but it's case of better to have it and not need it so if it's already made I don't see a problem with it. Just put it at the bottom of the list so it doesn't get in the way of the important ****.

Squad member is optional, so is Squad Leader if you don't want to use them and only allow directors to handle battles. It's all about how you can use it and honestly I could use both options based on the way my corporation is ran.

Squad Leaders can pick up from the Reserve if there's any seats left while the Squad members of said squad can go in without the need of the Squad Leader.

It makes things go faster but it also can make things a bit clumsy. I say we keep it and let CEOs decide if they'll want to use them.

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.

Sweet - so can I get my Personnel Director to assign me a Personal Director?

Platoons, yes please.

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.

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. >:)

In land armies, especially US units, a quartermaster is either an individual soldier or a unit who specializes in distributing supplies and provisions to troops. The senior unit, post or base supply officer is customarily referred to as "the quartermaster". Often the quartermaster serves as the S-4 in US Army, US Marine Corps units and NATO units.

In many navies, quartermaster is a non-commissioned officer (petty officer) rank for personnel responsible for their ship's navigation. In the US Navy, the quartermaster is responsible for the ship's navigation and maintenance of nautical charts and maps. Aboard merchant ships, quartermasters are usually the Able Seamen assigned to bridge watches. A naval quartermaster's main task is to steer the ship and apply the helm orders given by the Captain or watch officers.
