One of my favorite physical acts is to drag people and then drop them. Turns out it's really enjoyable in computer games as well!

Drag and drop functionality in fleets and other nice improvements in tomorrow's Retribution 1.1 are the topic of Karkur's new dev blog.

Check it our here, and as always...let us know what you think.

One thing about this devblog makes me sad Sad
My devblog titlemaster, CCP RedDawn, came with a GREAT title for this blog: "Fleet, you fools!", but it had to be changed to be more descriptive Sad

Second!

Drag and drop in fleets is a great change, and also:

Logs in the Notifications and Log window are not cleared anymore on session change, so you can try to figure out what the hell happened when you got podded without having to find the log file for the fight

This is indeed also a wonderful change. I wish I could drag it and drop it into my heart where it belongs <3

Awesome start on the fleet window!

However, i think we could use a few more "polishments". What about fleet rules (in a technical sense)?

Like specifying a squad/wing to be restricted to a certain shiptype.
Being able to define the landing wing/squad? (where joining people are placed)
Or connecting those thogether, like specifying a wing for battleships, a wing for logies, another wing for nothing, then BS pilots automaticly join to the BS wing, logies to the logi wing, etc.

I'd _love_ to have my fleet sorted automaticly based on member shiptype.

Maybe? Please? I can offer you a truck of cookies for this :)

Nice changes, you should also have it so if you invite someone already in a fleet that person can choose to accept the invite and switch fleets.

I couldn't be more excited about this change, thanks!

This is the sort of Little Things changes we love to see, great new functionality added that just makes sense, and doesn't break/remove (at least by design :P) anything that I can see, assuming ofc we can still drill through the rclick menu if we prefer.

Awesome work Big smile

Similar to the green highlight for youself in fleet could you help Wing and fleet commanders identify those individuals in the wing/fleet that have leadership 5 - say highlight them in blue. This would really help in full fleets where a squad has 10 members but nobody has taken the squad commander position. You could then put someone into command immediately rather than search through the fleet composition for the squad member with the right skill.

I like how the image of moving people around before the change is a WIP :)
