Yet another series of newb questions

Postby Macaroni » Sat Feb 21, 2009 5:59 pm

If a player is the CEO of a corp, can he join another corp ?

Can a member of a corp form a new corp and NOT be booted out of his existing corp ?

How many Corps can you be a member of simultaneously ? One ? two ? ten ? As many as you have passwords for ?



How do contractors work, exactly ? If a contractor can enter a colony peacefully, can they betray you and choose to conquer it ?

Can you grant contractor status to people to make them unable to invade your worlds ? Or do they have to voluntarily accept it ?

you can only be in one corporation at a time

contractor status can be used to betray you, but there is a safeguard in place that if you invade someone you were contracted to recently and you cap the dome it auto boots you out and you dont take it over.

people must accept contractor status so you cannot force it upon anyone, and they can delete the status at any time.

contractors can get on the surface of planets, like corpmates, once there they can use splash damage to destroy defenses. this makes it easier for a non contracted third party to invade.

if you are contracted to someone, they can /c your location and tell people where you are to set up ambushes.

contractors can access the refinery as well, and there is all sorts of havoc you can wreak from in there. colonies need metal ore to fire their solar cannon, so just sell it all on commodities market to render a ten shot a no shot in seconds.

So, if you are the CEO of your own corp (and there is no one else in the corp), can you boot yourself out of the corp, so you can join another corp ?

Usually, one of the first things I do is establish a corp. But I do that to 'unlock' the Corp Flagship (which is my favorite ship). Is there a way to join another players corp after I've done that ?

you can disband your corp yes, if you get rid of your corporation you cant be in the ceo ship.

if you wish to get rid of your corporation you must buy a different ship than the ceo ship.

Splash damage. Never thought of that. I need to make sure I trust all my contractors. (I did think of the refinery issues, but haven't had any issues.)
