Current Situation:

As a member of fleet, it is very difficult to determine what fleet bonuses you receive. While we have a green check box to indicate we are receiving some type of bonus, this is not adequate. Fleet bonuses, In their current form, are buggy and do NOT always work as they should. Often the fleet manager must revoke and re-assign booster positions to make them work, especially in regards to warfare links. To actually determine which bonuses we are receiving requires right clicking on a ship or module and comparing its attributes to theoretical EFT numbers. This is, at best, cumbersome and typically not practical.

Proposed Solution:

Add a new tab to the fleet window UI (or elsewhere) that lists all the fleet bonuses a pilot is currently receiving, who is providing them, and what their fleet position is.

Example:
Fleet Bonus Tab:
______________________________________________________________________________
10% bonus to armor from Fleet Booster (FBcharacterName)
10% bonus to targeting range from Fleet Booster (FBcharacterName)
10% bonus to scan resolution from Fleet Booster (FBcharacterName)
2% bonus to mining yield from Fleet Booster (FBcharacterName)

15% bonus to Shields from Wing Booster (WBCharName)
28.12% bonus to Shield Resistances from Wing Booster (WBCharName)
28.12% reduction to Cap use of Shield Boosters & Transporters from Wing Booster (WBCharName)
28.12% reduction to duration of Shield Boosters & Transporters from Wing Booster from Wing Booster (WBCharName)

15% bonus to agility from Squad Booster (SBCharName)
48.52% bonus to the range of propulsion disruption modules from Squad Booster (SBCharName)

Pros:
1.) This really allows people to see what boosts they are getting, and allows them to rectify it when they aren't getting boosts they desire.

2.) It might help us to finally debug the fickle fleet booster issues. I can't tell you how many times we've had to revoke a booster and then re-designate them as a booster just to get their bonuses to pass correctly.

3.) This provides the individual pilot a tool to be situationally aware of major changes to their ship's performance.

Cons:
None that I can think of, at least from a game-play stand point.

An Incomplete and open CSM issue raised in May 2010, "FLEET UI - SHOW WARFARE LINKS" - By Corving... I was unable to find a corresponding discussion thread.

I would definitely like to see this implemented!!!!

Agree that this would not only be informative and useful but is required and long overdue!

I was just thinking today, "Gods I wish I knew WHAT boosts I was getting." And yesterday, and the day before that too....
