I would like to propose a cumulative bonus to hulls of the same faction working together in fleet when a command ship is boss.

This in the interests of improving the effectiveness of command ships and encouraging same faction fleets.

Yes, homogenous fleets is what Eve needs. Let's remove any variety and force people to train for very specific fits.

Seriously, even by AH standards this is an extraordinarily bad idea. Lol

you have a point, groups training specific complementary skills for the purpose of getting an edge are playing the wrong game.
and variety is not imposed by the chaos of real life in any way.

Yeah I can't really see this ending badly Roll

Fleets can't consist solely of one faction as they would be LESS effective, not more.

For example, say you have an all Minmatar fleet in Arty Canes. How do you stop all of the enemy fleet just laughing at you and warping off?

Sure you could use a Sabre but that Sabre isn't going to live long in the middle of an enemy fleet well outside Logistics range.

This is why you see a lot of Lachesis in large fleets for a massive range on the point to hold ships long enough to kill them.

Quite a few Gallente ships complement Minmatar ships. Gallente/Minmatar Recon combination is one of the best in the game.

Even in small fleets this would be a bad idea. ECM is prevalent in small fleet warfare so by bringing all the same faction, you make the Kitsune, Blackbird, Falcon, Rook and Scorpion pilot's lives so much easier as they just fit one racial type for jammers.

There are lots of different reasons why a same faction fleet isn't a good idea.I am sure others will come up with more examples for you.

Not supporting this proposal.

Yeah, we really don't need to penalize fleet diversity, not supported at all.

As more experienced voices have been heard to voice legitimate arguments against, I respectfully withdraw the proposal.

Thank you for the consideration.
