Just something to keep in mind!
We learned an important lesson today- if you delete an alt/main who is in a corporation their gear doesnt go away...in fact, Concorde impounds said gear...and charges you a fee for release of the gear...a fee that accumulates over time even...and appears in a small pop-up box that mumbles blather about releasing equipment....
We discovered this by accident when Miles (Deadmeat/Miggins) went to purchase a new shuttlecraft and must have missed a pop-up...*poof* 600,000 ISK go bye-bye out of the corporation wallet...both of us are like "Dohh, what the heck was that?" After careful examination (that took well over an hour, mostly because we were laughing) we concluded that my old alt toon Cole Galloway, a Corp member pilot I unceremoniously tossed out the airlock one evening was to blame, having left his gear scattered far and wide at various stations..incl. the one Miles was at to buy the shuttle.
So, I found the detritus' locales and journied to a close-by station to see about retrieving the few, small, missiles and some gunnery shells, I then clic'd on the hangar and voila; Coles old gear. What I missed was the lack of a decimal point in the fee to remove from impound and *POOF* there went 500,000 ISK. ARGGGGGGGH
After much laughter I plunked in some replacement money to re-finance the Corp and we decided it was better to let things lay...Miles indicated he had dissolved a couple of alts back in 2004 who both had gear strewn across the galaxies...eeeeiiaaaa!
Well, I was going to ask everyone to be uber careful with pop-ups BUT!!! I also discovered a solution. I was able to, via Corp assets button, go into each impound hangar that contained Cole's old gear and I was able to 'trash' the stuff-- most of it was worth only a few thousand ISK, but cheaper than having another accident http://silverfallgaming.com/forums/html/emoticons/laugh.gif
