I agree this would be of benefit to FCs, we have Fleet Warp and this fits in nicely with that feature.

This already exists, in a fashion. The FC can burn toward a celestial then hit regroup to pull the fleet in their direction.

I'd think that's get u into allot of trouble... If your not far enough away the ships will bump into each other as they are aligning parallel to a cone and not a cylinder and if you are far enough away it means your not with fleet and probs in an inty that can't do anything with their puny tanks

There is no need to dumb down f1-monkeys even more. If they cannot align themselves - they deserve to be shot down.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

It helps avoid stupid mistakes, cuts down on com chatter, lets fleets close their fleet history window and have more space for active windows, and they will be able to perform faster strikes but yes it is dumbed down by letting the FC control the fleet

You are genius (NOT!): Close fleet history and miss all target/logi broadcasts. I dont know if you find it fun to join the fleet and watch ships get blown instead of actually participating in battle, but your suggestion fits current meta perfectly: drop sentries > assist them > do nothing and win.

Not needed people should be smart enough to listen the FC for that.

I would love an option "Anchor on squad leader" that place you in formation with your squad leader.
It would be so beautiful instead these awful packs of wanabee wrecks on large fields...
