RIP:

(More to follow)

So, if I have this right, basically warp-tos for all non-public entities is a no-go?

You'll still be able to use them, but this will slow the speed at which they usually hit their targets. We consider that a very good outcome.

As announced on the o7 show we are making some changes to fleet warp. Fleet Commanders, Wing Commanders & Squad Commanders will no longer be able to warp to anything a fleet member couldn’t warp to on their own. This includes –
  • Bookmarks


    • Does this include corporation bookmarks that the person in the same corp could warp to?

    Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

    Yes. You can only fleet warp to things that any member of your fleet could warp to, no matter what corp or alliances they are a part of.

    Oh, I'm not complaining...too much.

    However I wonder if axing all the potential warp-ins is necessary? Could the broadcast 'warp-to' be extended to allow members to warp themselves to specific targets that were warp able before?

    It appears that to nerf bombers, you are nerfing all fleets.

    So, to run sites (in w-space) we can't easily warp there all together anymore. Everyone will need the bookmarks or have to wait for one player to have landed. Alliance bookmarks would only make that slightly less of an issue.

    That's just one example of how people will become unnecessarily more vulnarable, or things taking more time.

    Does this mean I can't herd noobs into 4s in a fleet? That's dumb.

    Concern about this is WH space.

    We don't have gates we can warp to and have to rely on the Bookmarks of the wormhole.

    Edit: What I mean is if we have non-corp members that we are trying to move through a chain to a target, it will slow the entire fleet by 100% since a fleet member will have to warp ahead and then the entire fleet will have to warp to that fleet member.

    Doing this without implementing alliance bookmarks first is a huge mistake. I beg you to reconsider.

    Anoms yes, Sigs no.


    Edit:

    Yes, you'll be able to fleet warp to anoms.
    No, you won't be able to fleet warp to signatures.

    Just for clarity (which was obviously lacking)

    Woo! CSM XI!

    Bookmarks and scan results is (almost) everything we ever use fleet warp for in W-space.

    Why not remove it all together and be done with it?
