Anyone happen to know how to set the “Base” for a character in corp? I can see where I would select one under Corporation\>Members\>Role Management\>Access, but the list is blank, and I can’t figure out how to actually set something there?

You need to rent an corporation office somewhere. Then these rented offices appear as selectable “bases” for your members.

…however I think only NPC stations can be set as a base. I was never able to choose a structure as a base for anyone.

Yeah thats true, only corp offices on NPC stations are selectable. Rented Citadel offices don’t show up there. Have not tried it yet with a Citadel that actually belongs to the corp itself.

I was unable to set even the structures I owned as bases for our members, so unless that’s changed since then you still wouldn’t be able to.

Thanks. That seems to answer my question, as we’ve got a number of offices at our own upwell structures but none show up as possible options. Frustrating, but at least I have an answer I can take back to our team to work with.

Glad I could help, I’d say the dev’s simply forgot about that one, maybe the will add an option to use Offices on Upwell Structures later.
