How about some sort of swarm/cluster mode whereby friendly T3 frigs can choose one of various bonuses if they are in close proximity to one another at the expense of manoeuvrability.

You'd have to balance the bonus vs. penalty and limit the maximum bonus to stop fleets exploiting it, but could work.


this would be rather neat but i would limit it to only affecting all other T3 frigates on grid rather than your fleet rather than a harsh penalty (possible the cruisers and destroyers as well) but they would need to fix the off grid boosting first


The key phrase was 'close proximity'... I was thinking more like 10-15k (maybe skill based) and only effecting other friendly T3 frigs in fleet of course. The bonus would be applied automatically so long as you were within range of one other member of the swarm, so the bonus might pop on and off as you moved around trying to keep the required distance.

yes i understood that the problem is CCP doesn't have the code for an AOE boost thats why i said they would have to fix that problem.

and i still think it would be more interesting in it affected any T3 frig in range rather than just friendlies it would add another level to when to use them.
