DevBlog: Fleet Management
CCP just announced in another DevBlog that they plan to improve the fleet tools. This will contain
- more deteiled fleet overview with an all-in-one window
- a tab were you can announce fleets and look for actual open fleets
- more detailed broadcast mechanisms
Especially the fleet gathering tool could be a nice feature. Ides is you can open a fleet and specify what kinds of pilots you want to have within. Then this will be visibal for corporation or alliance and people can join your fleet if interested. This will remove the old "x -up now" posts in chat. Further whenever you log in you have the chance to see whats going on and who is needing pilots in fleet.
The broadcast mechanics are also revamped and will allow a more detailed spreading of commands, like e.g. to all fleet pilots in system or to all squad leaders. Which will make handling of large fleets easier.
Just let us hope that the additional degree of detail will not lead into a messy interface where noone really knows where to click to make things working, like the role & title management for corp members.
