Hi Peeps / CCP

How often have you been in a fleet (and wing) that should have a booster assigned to it?

Many times I've found my Lachesis point, which should have been nearly 90km, restricted to much less due to the boosting member DCing or not being in system (yes, if the Fleet is being FC'd correctly, this shouldn't happen, I know!).

Too many times there's chatter regarding booster effects and checking them.

Can we look at a simple display / sub menu item that clearly states boosters being given to fleet members from Fleet, Wing and Squad. Surely not too complex to implement?

Does make a difference to know...esp if you are contemplating a point attempt on something at range...do you have the booster in effect or not?

This already exists. In the fleet menu there is a little green tick to show you are receiving boosts (or a red cross to indicate that you are not). Hover the cursor over this tick and a tool tip will appear saying "you are currently receiving boosts from Squad, Wing and Fleet booster" for example.

Apprecaite that. What I'm looking for is the type of boost that's being applied.

Do you mean something like this:

Keywords: user interface, fleet bonuses.
Note: See Please Provide a Fleet Bonus Information Tab to the Fleet Management Interface for more details.
It is difficult to monitor what boosts, and the level of boosts you are receiving from fleet members, and this tool would spell it out clearly. Additionally, the fleet bonus system is occasionally buggy, and this would provide players the means to troubleshoot it!
