| − | Anyone other than the current [[CEO]] of a corporation can create a new corp (a CEO must resign first), with a little ISK and some basic [[Corporation Management (Skill Group)|Corporation Management]] skills. As the member of another corp you must not currently have or have had any roles within the last 24 hours, as forming the new corporation will mean you leave your current corp.

| − | == Skills & Member Limits ==
| |
| − | There are currently (as of Jan 2011) a total of 4 skills related to increasing the number of members in your corp, and one which allows the corporation to hold members of different [[Races]]. Note that the CEO does not count as a member, so with [[Corporation Management (Skill)]] trained to Level 4, the corporation can hold a total of 41 characters.

| − | ==== Corporation Management ====
| |
| − | Each level of this skill allows another 10 members in the corporation, and is required to form a corporation, however (as of Jan 2011) only needs to be trained to level 0 to form the corporation. With this trained to Level 5, a corporation can hold a maximum of 51 characters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is important to note that the below skills only take effect when the current CEO opens the corp management interface and uses the "Update With My Skills" button (NeoCom Corporation>Home>Details>Edit Details). This means that a third party can be used for form the corporation, then resign and appoint another member as the CEO, bypassing the need for the skills to be trained.

| − | ==== Megacorp Management ====
| |
| − | Requires Corporation Management trained to Level 5. Adds a further 50 characters to the maximum membership, and stacks with Corporation Management for a maximum of 301 members at Level 5.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Empire Control ====
| |
| − | Requires Megacorp Management trained to Level 5. Adds a further 200 characters to the maximum membership, and stacks with previous skills for a maximum of 1301 members at Level 5.

| − | ==== Soverignty ====
| |
| − | Requires Empire Control trained to Level 5. Adds a further 1,000 characters to the maximum membership, and stacks with previous skills for a maximum of 6301 members at Level 5. Training this skill is only suggested for the largest of corporations, as it is suggested that you should create procedures to identify and remove inactive members.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Ethnic Relations ====
| |
| − | This is a very important skill, as bey default a corporation can only hold members of the same [[race]] as the CEO. Each level of this skill allows 20% of the corp members to be a different race, up to 100% at Level 5. This however does not increase the total membership of the corporation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that this statistic is not shown on the 'Edit Corporation Details' window, however a member cannot be accepted into the corporation if the relevant skill is not present. Requires [[Corporation Management (Skill)|Corporation Management]] trained to Level 2 and [[Social (Skill)|Social]] to Level 3.
