Company Merger Issues

[Roknori 2]

This isn't so much as issues that have happened but a preventative inquiry.

 

My company is already in and finished talks with several other companies in our area and will be moving to merge them under our flag. Though based on a few rumors and posts we have a few questions, rather concerns, when moving forward from here.

One of the things that's been found is that at least one or two other companies that have merged into another have lost ownership of everything...as in nothing from Company A that merged into Company B transferred.

Another instance that we've heard, come across, of is that Company A merged into B. Afterwards allt he claims, structures, tames, etc transferred minus their ships. So all ships that were built by Company A were now practically lost and inaccessible.

Is there any information that these are either confirmed, a rare issue, or confirmed but have been fixed by the devs?

This was a huge bug early on. We keep our arse holes tight when merging, but knock on wood, 5 to now and no issues. You should be fine.

So we got one of the companies merged in over the weekend, other two are to be done this week...Only thing we found that was a problem is it doesn't seem to be merging all the company members. We had to individually invite the members. Structures, ships, etc flipped without a problem.

@Jatheish - Might be something to try and look into patching? Makes for interesting times when having to jump across different outposts when people log in and find themselves trapped in the new company's buildings.

You will have to do it individually. In order to make sure it works properly, make sure both of your governance settings are the same, and merge directly via company owners.

that will ensure all property transfers, but players will need to be added one at a time.
