What would attract you to a corporate faction?

[eyvind]

Open hostility and wars between corporations is a great idea, in my opinion. Perhaps we should break the bonds we've worked on and start developing our own strong and stubborn opinions? The problem is that as it stands, it feels like corporations need a lot of cooperation in order to develop the concept of corporations. Perhaps both can happen at the same time?

DSE is working toward something that's reminiscent of this, which is a transition from underhanded hostility to open hostility with the IMG. As soon as 2018 comes around and the mining update is released, Coronado will finally become what it was meant to be.

However, even today, DSE and IMG convoys meet quite often. I think it would make things a little more fun if we didn't great each other as much as we try to hinder each others economic success.

Ageira and Kishiro could have similar hostilities.

Dauman and Samura, maybe.

And maybe we need people to take some entrepreneurial initiative and try to infringe on markets and monopolies? They might not survive long, but it would give some foundation to the status quo!


More back to the original topic. I have been paying attention to this thread for a while and have been working to increase DSE's focus on some of the topics brought up.

We have bolstered and diversified our shared fleet. I don't think having an obscene number of ships will help much, but currently we have 4 shared Lifters, 3 shared Mammoths, 1 shared Mastodon, and 1 shared Mining Ship. More is on the way.

I have also worked to increase the focus of in-game events, planned and impromptu ones. We have often had trading convoys in the past, as well as a few mining operations, but I hope to increase the frequency of these as well as introduce some fun variation.

The other big corporate perk is general support. One for all and all for one. People seem a bit unwilling to accept credits too often. Perhaps they feel it might hurt the corporation too much, especially for the larger sums. In some cases this might be valid, and it's of course the member's choice if they want help or not, but if they want help they need to be willing to accept the help and let the faction leaders worry about the math and logistics.


Threads like this are much appreciated by the corporate factions. We try to catch what people say on the forums, share ideas, discus and develop concepts. If you would like to guarantee that corporations get wind of your ideas and feedback, consider posting in faction feedback threads. I, at least, cling to every word people say in my faction's feedback thread.
