Fleet Bookmarks

I have an idea, I am sure this would help solve a few problems other people have. Just simple "fleet bookmarks". They could work the same way normal bookmarks work. Nothing really special needed. Just everyone in the fleet has access to them. Once the fleet is gone, so are the bookmarks. It would be nice if these updated faster than corp bookmarks. However, if not then this is still kind of a nice little feature. If you added something to the fleet window to access them then that's just a bonus.

The problems that I am having where this would help me anyway, I have an out of corp alt. I use him mainly hauling stuff around in a freighter. However he can also salvage and fly a Noctis with all T2 salvagers and tractor beams. It would be nice to leave him in station and just bookmark the wreck, then he can go to it instantly. I mean I know I can copy the bookmark when back in station, then give it to him in trade. Now I have a bookmark I have to clean out in both toons. I do fleet with him and have him warp to me when I have cleaned out the area. Again not the optimal solution.

Also, fleet PVP roams, wormhole diving. We have a corp folder we put bookmarks in when doing this. However then we have to have someone with communications officer clean this up and so on. Usually the next day. Where again once this fleet was done and we had our fun for the evening, the fleet disbands and the bookmarks go poof. No clean up, no muss, no fuss.

Alliance operations. No alliance bookmarks, however fleet bookmarks would really help out here.

Wormhole logistics. Finding that path from a C5 > C5 to High Sec. Typically a fleet does this. We save them now in corp bookmarks but if you have an out of corp alt with you then he needs a can of bookmarks dropped, or needs people to warp to.

Anyway this was just a thought. I didn't see this mentioned in the commonly proposed requests thread. I did see bookmark improvements, but it never mentioned fleet bookmarks. There are a lot of times I am my corp use bookmarks, but we have to spend a lot of time cleaning them up as well. It would be nice just once the fleet is done, so are the bookmarks. This way anyone, even out of corp people can share bookmarks.
