Access list based shared inventory

EVE Technology and Research Center Player Features & Ideas
1

Shared inventory exists for corporations. However, corporation hangars are rarely used by regular corporation members, especially in larger corporations. Corporate hangars are managed by roles and generally serve the purpose of storing and managing corporation assets.

Sharing assets between individual players can only be done through corporation hangars if the corporation is small enough and if anyone in the corporation have the roles to access corporation hangars. On the other hand, sharing assets between alts, especially those that are in different corporations, is not implemented.

We already have a similar system for the bookmarks, where a bookmark folder can be shared between players based on an access list, regardless of whether characters are in the same corporation or not.

Already existing Admin, Manager and Member roles in access lists can be used to determine who can perform different actions with items in the shared location.

Updateable feedback post.

I’ve got the following feedback in-game:

  • Shared inventory based on access lists should have a maintenance fee, to be in line with corporation hangars. Another positive side is: it’s a new ISK sink.
  • Location based shared inventory and corp hangar pricing should be revisited. The feature should be accessible to all players, including new ones.

Because people steal.

It has nothing to do with roles or management, but everything to do with the people who play this game. If you give people access to a hangar, it’s only a matter of time before someone empties that hangar for their own advancement.
