The main concept of this is derived from the emergent gameplay that is starting a duel with your freighter alt and then webbing them to get them into warp faster.

The proposal, A remote agility booster (Terible name..)

A targeted module that would act in the same way a remote rep does in that it doesn't cause agro and can be used on fleet members allowing them to align and warp faster. (Promoting teamwork and emergent gameplay)

Perhaps as a balance mechanic warp disrupting the player being agility boosted would prevent the boost from being applied? (Disruption gameplay. The tears need to come from somewhere!)

This addition would likely be quick to implement with little effort needed code wise. (I'm speculating here, Forgive me if I'm wrong CCP :p)

It fits quite nicely with the industry theme we're currently in.

Players are already doing this, and have been for a long time. Why don't we give them a slightly less cheaty way of doing it?

I'm no theory craft expert and there will likely be ways this could be exploited in my current vision. but I do think there is potential in this concept.

If you like this idea or think that theres potential in the concept, be sure to show your support by liking or posting with your feedback.

CCP Fozzie, CCP Rise, You're already awesome, please keep being awesome and make this happen :p (Shameless,I know..)

Requires leadership 5 which a lot of industrial types have no need / use for (High entry barrier)

Not vulnerable to disruption gameplay. (Where will the tears come from?)

Not as interesting gameplay wise.

true alot of industrial types don't nead leadership 5 but alot do for when they're in their orca giving out boosts to the miners in the fleet. Also this has been going on for years and years with a character that is in the same corp and saves the hastle of having to start a duel.

The fact that it has been going on for a long time is precisely why there is a place for a module like this that is more tailored for this type of task.

I think there are probably a lot more freighters that don't have Orca skills than ones that do.
