I am wondering if this scenario is possible. I created a personal corporation with my Main and two Alts as members. This has been useful for asset logistics etc.
Now I would like to try joining a real corporation to explore fleet mining and Orca operations. Can my Main character join another corp while my alts stay in my little corp? Does an alt need to be made CEO? Can my Main re-join later? Will my corp cease to be if the founding character moves to another corp?
Thanks,
E7

Resigning as CEO
Unlike other members of a corporation, CEOs cannot drop their roles and titles or leave while the CEO. The only exception to this is when they are the only member of the corporation, in which case they can leave (but not immediately form another corporation). To resign, a CEO must right click themselves (either in a chat window or the corp member list) and select the Resign as CEO option.
If there are other members in the corporation when the CEO resigns, then the CEO will be presented with a list of members who have the Corporation Management skill. If no members have that skill, a list of all members will be shown. The CEO can then select a member on the list to be their successor. Once selected, a notification will be sent out to all members, stating that the old CEO has resigned, and as their final action they named the new CEO as their successor.
At this point, the old CEO will be on the normal 24-hour role cooldown timer and can leave the corporation if they wish to after this expires.
Short answer: train one of your alts in Corporation Management I. Make them the CEO, and you main can come and go as they please. The corp exists as long as there is at least one member (the CEO).
If your main has higher corporate skills, than the alt taking over, DO NOT let the alt update the corp with their skills, if that matters to you.
Thank you all for the help!
