I hope to make companies in the game tradable like assets, allowing them to be freely bought and sold, with their employees included as part of the package transferred to the new owner. This would make the game’s economy more realistic and engaging, while enriching player interactions. Imagine being able to acquire an ongoing business along with its entire team, or selling part of your workforce to a rival company desperately needing talent. Such mechanics would not only add strategic depth but also bring the virtual world closer to real-world business dynamics.
you can kinda do that now lol.
adding someone to the corp, and basically making them the new director or CEO.
This can already be done, both in-game and on the forum. Players sell corps and characters on here all the time.
well, you can not move your corp members to the new corp, especially the ones who is recently not online. And you might also dont like the name of your company.
On the forum is not quite good because the game need to improved to allow players do this these in the game.
They aren’t employees. They are other players, who chose of their own free will to associate (or not) with your in-game group.
Acquire? Workforce? They are supposed to be your friends. People you play a game with. You don’t acquire friends by purchasing them, or sell your friends to someone else.
You have a very twisted and impersonal idea of what a corporation is in EVE. Hint: Corp members aren’t NPCs. They are other people, actual human beings, who have exactly the same agency in the game as yourself. Would you like to be bought and sold? Treated as an in-game asset, or part of a workforce?
I find this thread offensive.
You told me the same thing that most people would say.
But is everyone your friend? how about enemy??
I can sell you a corporation for 1 billion.
Yes. Because most people are not sociopaths.
