Dev and CCP can determine that for the good of all pilots, the idea is proposed and its merits laid bare.

This is true, so thread can be closed now since Dev and CCP have already seen your suggestion.

I personally think he made a decent case for it.

i could see how it could be used and how it could help fleet leaders better categorize their people. Like he said, part of the metagame.

It may be ahead of its time, but I would support it if not just to see the effect it would have on fleets.

Yo Deep Nine try to make your forum alt agreeing with your every word actually try and have a life of it's own to not be so obvious Roll

Discretionary use is one of the purposes of this suggestion, commanders have additional options to help sort their fleets.

It sounds like you just need slightly competent fleet members

At what point would these suggested options become viable?

Honestly, never.

In real world navies, the Admirals in charge of fleets of ships do not directly control every single ship. They give orders, and the Captains of the ships pass those orders down to their crew. This is how EvE's fleet system works in almost every regard, with pretty much the sole exception being fleet warp.

In EvE, we have fleet warp to allow fleets to remain together through various levels of connection speeds and ping rates. Jumping and docking do not need this kind of help because of gate cloak and being safe in station after completion of the actions.

Fleet warp needs to be simply removed imho. It made manoeuvrability of big fleets to easy when it shouldn't be.
Bad pilots should die to piloting mistakes, disengaging a fleet should let slow people behind to die etc.

If I remember correctly Fozzie mentionned it once, I hope he actually has a plan for this.

Well I think smaller ships should be able to limit their warp speed. But each ship should have to manually do this
