A corporation, generally shortened to 'corp' (pronounced korp) in EVE is the equivalent of a guild in most other MMOs, but with a great deal more flexibility. [[NPC Corporations]] are functionally identical, but no members have any roles or titles. | A corporation, generally shortened to 'corp' (pronounced korp) in EVE is the equivalent of a guild in most other MMOs, but with a great deal more flexibility.

[ | :''For information about roles and titles as they are used in EVE University, see [[Titles within EVE University]].'' | ||
Corporate roles and titles are technically two separate mechanics, but they often go hand-in-hand. Put simply, '''roles''' define what members can ''do'', while titles define what members ''are''. These mechanics can be combined by assigning roles to a title, which can streamline the process of assigning roles when a corporation has many members that require the same set of roles. | |||
'''Roles''' affect every part of a corporation member's interaction with that corporation. Roles what corporate wallet divisions a member has access to (if any), whether that character can send member invitations or accept applications, what parts of the corporate hangar they have access to (if any), etc. While all roles can be assigned individually, there is a special role, '''[[#Director|Director]]''', that automatically includes all other roles, as well as several additional roles available only to directors and the CEO. | |||
'''Titles''' can be edited and assigned by the CEO or members with the Director role, and are limited only by number of characters and the creator's imagination. Titles can be assigned any number of roles, and the same title can be assigned to multiple members. Titles do not need to have roles assigned to them and can be given for any reason; titles with no roles that are just for fun are often referred to as "vanity titles". | |||
