Assembly Hall

Was just going over the New Neocom features and testing window snapping, pinning, and configurations memory. Everything seems to be allright, with two small exceptions.

The first is rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but I still consider it important.

Fleet Composition opens in a new window every time, and doesn't stay docked with the Fleet Window when you stack them close and leave fleet, and reopen. Not when you log off anyway, and I assume also not when both are just exited and closed.

Personally, I feel that if I dock the window with the fleet window, the next time i open if from the fleet window, it should still be docked. Also, if it were, it would be expected for all the columns to retain their spacings within that window. The rest of the windows seem to be fine in that regard.

Contextually speaking, they are a little different though.

The second is far more important, and could save Fleet Commanders a great deal of time.

Allow us to set up a number of presets for Fleets and Averts to go with them. Ideally, that means Fleet name in Advert and Description, Wings and their names, Squadrons per wings and their names; and which voice channels are set to active, as well as well as Standings requirements and various other settings. All the basic stuff that has to be configured every time you form a fleet now.

This way, all an FC has to do is open Fleet and click the interaction bars, then pick which Fleet configuaration he/she wants to use for the occaision. Much less hassle than setting each one up every time; especially when many players will most likely be using the same basic setup over and over again.

I'd say we should have no less than 3-5 of these available configurations.

Bumping this because nobody has bothered to post in it, even though I can hardly believe that there is a pilot in New Eden that would disagree with it.

You don't have to give me likes, just +1 it for cripes sakes.

That's not a bad idea; it would help to build fleet structure, and get organized faster.

Maybe have some settings that allow you too designate available squads for Corporation permissions too, just to make that easier. Possibly something that could define a pilots role in the fleet...

Better idea: On accepting to fleet, the FC can automatically assign Wing Command, Squad Command, or Squad Member as a role call feature. From there, the accepted pilot can then choose a squad or wing, based on Fleet structure and his or her abilities. Gives choice on both sides.

Alternatively, the FC could set fleet configuaration to manage everything directly above Squad Member level, and use the role call feature to directly place all Squad and Wing Commanders. Possibly even another setting which allows him/her to micromanage, even at Squad Member level.

All based on what the FC wants from each Fleet Configuration.
