lockon to fleet members should be removable by the fleetcommander

after leaving fleet there should be a 1-5 minute timer, where you are not able to lockon to old fleetmembers either

at the moment there are too many douchebags who do not get kills and just try to fleetup with others and then start shooting them...

this would assure more random people team up, good for the game, bad for douchebags... win win

Because nobody wants logi reps anyway.

The game is about treason and scamming, you have to know by yourself who you will fly with

Also, the logi stuff

Looks like Harry got tricked into believing that someone was going to help him defeat the evil Goon Empire, but alas... King Harry of Highsec, first of his name, lord protector of the 4 highsec realms, was too gullible and naive to suspect anything. Show us the killmail Harry!

nobody needs to use the option if they don't want to, if I'm commander I want to use it, because i want to fly with different people and try stuff, stupid doches shooting fleetmembers just hold back the gameplay, those need to be stopable by a mechanic

fleeting up is for teaming up, not for shooting ourselves, the mechanic should work like this

the people who want to fight can do that without fleeting up as well

the game is favouring idiotic gameplay too much, in my opinion

No, YOU don't understand!

He has ideas pop up in his head and the impulse of posting them,
without actually putting any deeper thought into them,
prove that he knows what people want and what's good for the game!

Can't you see he's just better and thus, logically, has to dismiss everybody elses opinions?

Edit: Please don't get confused. OUR words are opinions, but his words and ideas are facts!

check it out, its on the killboard, but you missunderstand naivity with honesty, I'm honest, the others did lie

honesty brings you further in life, wherelse liars are shortsighted and will suffer at the end

gather some experience in life and you sure come to the same conclusion, trust me that

its not different in a game either

maybe the kind of thing you are looking for is parties? there will be a number of games that can provide this for you like Perfect World Online, World Of Warcraft, or even the latest hit Diablo 3 seems to be very popular.

Other games favour idiotic gameplay too much, in my opinion. That's why people come here with idiotic solutions.

True for life.
False for EvE.
Also after a roam involving few kills it is fun to select a fleet member and all blow them up. makes almost everyone feel better Twisted

If someone starts shooting friendlies, you simply kick them from fleet and primary them.

Every meaningful fleet has logi which need to lock someone to repair them.

If your corp is full of morons like that, I suggest you leave the corp (or the game)

The game is know for its free environment. If people want to lie to get fleeted and them shoot the fleet members out, they are allowed to. Changing this is changing the game essence. If you have the option to turn that off, this affects other people gameplay directly, since they won't be allowed to do this anymore. You don't invite people to your house if you don't know them, so you shouldn't fleet with people you don't trust enough to do so.

That's not idiotic gameplay, this is sandbox, free gameplay, the same mechanic that allows us to choose a corp at random, go to their home and shoot down their stuff without consequence


I know you want random fleet ups and fair PvP, so why don't you try FW? FW is "Team Deathmatch", null is "Free for all"

for the long run, you will isolate yourselve, nobody will trust you

you just feel better for some time because you soon realize you suck getting kills differently

then they simply make an exception for logi stuff

its not a corp thing, it would make it easier for solo and new players to randomly fleetup
