Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If CCP really wants to nail this concept on the head... of forcing more content and not ******* over other areas of k-space and wormhole space, why don't they change this a bit.

While still adhereing to the plans of removing fleet warp; Allow squads to keep fleet warp, ONLY the squads.

Q; Why only squads?
A; It will Create new Tactics in all aspects of space, both known and wormhole.

Q; What kind of new content is created? -all space
A; FC's will now get to pick out who is in the special ops Squad that no one else listens to and get their own channel. Short bus.

Q; How does this affect T3 tactics?
A; A group of Scouts and Tackle will now occupy the same squad, with the new duty of only hunting, catching, and killing T3's at range.

Q; Does it kill wormhole fighting capabilities?
A; No, They will have to select what ships are in what squads if and when we exceed 10 people... they will have to adapt, yes, but it will not be raze another monument worthy.

Q; Does it mess up those annoying altaholics?
A; No... maybe? if someone has that many alts they deserve to suffer. seriously. I have a life away from the computer tho so I have a rather one sided opinion on these altaholics.

Q; Does it wreck pirate fleets causing calculated mayhem in highsec?
A; No, so long as it is a small fleet of 10 or less. Otherwise I'd love to see the end result of it.

Q; Does it end the Blob Battles?
A; Even if you got rid of fleet warp all together, still going to happen. They will just be coming in droves of 10 now. If ill timed you can wipe out their Logi then whatever comes next.

I'm willing to admit I'm wrong. However, this seems like trying to fix something that isn't broke or fix something that's broken by breaking 5 other things.

I'm concerned for high sec gankers. Some CODE. members were saying this was going to ruin some of their gank fleets. The last thing this game needs, i thought, was people mining all day in high sec and tanking the price of minerals. This is also going to make people safer from combat probing and fleets warping on them.

Eve is a hard game, not a risk averse game. This feels very much like a step in the wrong direction.

This may be the first time I've come on forums to gripe since the rumor Hilmar wanted to sell "pay to win" special ammo in the Aurum store.

Current location. Get a fast ship to warp around in a triangle, have the fleet make their own safe and you wind you with stuff everywhere. Makes scanning stuff a real pain for the enemy.

How about they just don't change it, this is dumb.

It ironic that you say this will make fleet movement hard.

Like you said, eve should be hard so get good without fleet warps... mkay

Nope, it will be pretty bad for multi corporation WH groups. They can no longer move their fleets in WH space unless everyone got all the BMs which is typically not the case if you open a new static and the chain connected to it.

Eve should be hard because of the challenge presented by other players, not because of the interface or controls available to the players.

My recommendation: cap maximum fleet size at 50. Now you require more FC's (an actual fun role), you limit the power of watch lists and broadcasts considerably (limits remote repair somewhat), it lessens the number of people one FC can assist. And, for the most part, you don't screw up WH's, small gangs, catching OGB's, and most of the other things about which people are upset.

Instead of doing things that are useful to fleet and interesting to them, like, oh I don't know, logis, neuts, jams, or .. dps? Why create a chore and take away from the fun of people who operate in a pretty specialized manner?

That's a pretty good article.

This right here is literally the only acceptable compromise for derping things up with the proposed change. Would honestly prefer the change doesn't go through at all, but if it must, than this needs to be included otherwise it's just another poorly concieved change that appears to be happening simply for the sake of change, as every argument for this change has given absolutely zero examples on what this actually improves/fixes.
