Player Features and Ideas Discussion

bump.

I referenced this post at Eve Vegas, and some people were asking for it. I'll post the video once the VOD is released.

fleet standing. 2-way FC approval.
A fleet commander (boss) can invite another fleet to set positive fleet standing. Only possible if both parties are in a fleet and Boss of their fleets...when accepted the 2 fleets gets same standing (as a single fleet). Meaning making another standing layer. Standard setup, not showing fleet members, will now have another "not show 2nd fleet". This will make "merging" of fleet easier. Usefull for both NPSI and big alliances. The big fleets meeting with other groups (alliances and corps) and other groups, can make tactical alignments towards hostiles and neutral fleets in a system quickly. No time for spying on tactical changes on stance on the battlefield. FC can make it instantly and by using an extra layer it will comply with any overview setup that has "dont show 2nd fleet". Maby a fleet could broadcast for posible open standings, so any fc boss could find in fleetfinder. Someone wrote about battlereports +1

Jump clones into wormholes
It should be possible to jump clone into a wormhole. Add anything to level it. Heavy jump fatigue, number of jumps possible into hole, some heavy fuel or other. Prize on "jump clone array" :)

Jump clone beacon - corp/alliance
it should be possible, for a corp authorized to install a "corp beacon" on a station in known space, that will give any member a jump clone instantly. Thus allowing wh dwellers to interact with known space - npsi with a way back to wh. add some heavy downsize, like major fattigue to avoid messing too much with latest changes. Limit the time on availability or the number that can use it.

Jump clone beacon - community/Fleet
Or make a fleet boss/"channel autorized" able to install a "community beacon" on a station, allowing any member of that community/fleet to jump clone to that system. Add jump cost, cost installment on beacon. It could be a time-limited installment with a nasty pricetag. Limit the number of alliance/corp members that can use it, so used for npsi and not messing with recent changes around power projection.

Edit: Fleet bookmarks. We must have that.

+1 to increasing the max number of people on a mailing list (or just dropping the limit!)

While I'm here, like to reiterate the prior suggestions for the ability to make a fleet open to ALL, regardless of standings, pretty please!! Begging on our knees!

Thanks for all that you do!

I'm hoping that the mailing list problem Jayne’s flagged up is a relatively simple change for CCP to implement. What technical implications or knock on effects this could have I have no idea, but if these aforementioned tools and social grouping improvements are still some way down the road. Then this fix (and maybe other smaller fixes) would go a long way to providing a nice compromise until then.

I’m also hoping newer players wanting access to Spectre Fleet and other bigger NPSI communities aren't put in a situation where they’re left out the loop. Not having access to vital information concerning NPSI and its events because of this technicality would suck.

These lists seem to be the heart of official communications at present for NPSI, not including the actual player run channels.

Remember it’s the little things that count. Change this little thing please CCP!

Summit update.

If you go to the #CSM9 Winter Summit Day One minutes, you will note that under the Corps & Alliances discussions (page 14), the subject of Clubs/Societies/Corp-lite came up.

First up is an increase in mailing size to 5000 characters in the Tiamat release, which will make increasing the numbers of players reached by the NPSI message much larger.

Along with this, CCP have been continuing to look into what would make social groups a "thing". So lets keep this thread - and the future of social groups - alive with your thoughts and ideas.
