Hi all,
Moving people around in fleet is fun, because basically everything that requires 4 levels of context menu is.
As fun as it is, I thought it would be handier to allow commanders to drag people around in the fleet, so in the build we have on Sisi today you can do just that.
I would like to use this thread to collect feedback on this "feature", and please tell me if something is not working as expected. (moving rules are just the same as they are now on TQ, just made easier).
Here is my understanding of the moving rules, please let me now if you know better - a fleet commander of fleet owner can move anyone around in the fleet
- wing commander can move anyone around in their own wing
- a squad commander can demote him/herself to be a squad member (not sure that works right now though)
- with free move, anyone can move themselves to any squad in the fleet, but not make themselves fleet/wing commanders
So how this works(only works in the hierarchy view of the fleet):- When you (as a commander or fleet owner) try to move people around, the "cell" you drag them to is highlighted white if you can drop the person there, otherwise red (meaning you are not allowed, position is filled or squad is full).
- if you drop a guy on a fleet/wing commander "cell" and there is guy in that position, nothing happens
- if you drop a guy on a squad commander "cell" and there is a guy in that position, the dropped guy is added to that squad if there is room in it
- if you drop a guy on a squad member, your guy is added to that squad the other guy is in
If you drag someone who's not in your fleet to a position, that guy will be invited to join in that position (still missing feedback in the build we have on Sisi right now).

i was talking to CCP Karkur about this, and my basic reaction was:
HOLLY CRAP WTF BBQ AWESOMESAUCE WOW! WE CAN DO THAT!
I may also have said that this kind of feature is the thing that makes FCs want to marry her. Creepy maybe, but such an awesome feature!
I cannot wait to test this in tonight's mass test.

This is truly epic and I love you for it. Would it be nice to have a "replace squad/wing commander" promt so you dont have to demote a person before promoting another? I assume just replacing without asking might be annoying...
A possible list with 3 selections (like when someone convos you) with:
A : Move to squad/wing commander and demote current commander B : Move to squad/wing and keep current commander C : Cancel move
Thank you for making fleets easier!!

Can you make the lines in the FC fleet overview grid multiline copy pastable? (By making it multiselect, its single select atm .... i can already copy paste the one highlighted line in the grid.) |

Can we get a fleet Window that is not as 'listy' as it is today?
Think of the wow raid overview, but bigger, 5 wings as columns next to each other, 5 squads as rows, 10 slots as single cells
Fleet command, boss, booster, whatever easily visible via symbols, everything can be drag/dropped by the people on higher positions.
Also: awesome to see you work on this, fleet management is a major pain in the ass We are recruiting german-speaking PVP players, contact me :)

Is it possible that a random squad member could eventually free move everybody else in the fleet without being owner/FC/etc etc... It could provide some lulz, useless boosters and raging FC ? Please... Twitter:-á-á-á-á@EVE_Tetsel-á-á-á@HereticArmy |

Dear CCP Karkur,
Please make it so that we can save and reuse fleet configs, including wing and squad titles and MoTD.

Along with Razul's question, could we perhaps have a "Fleet XO" position identified in the same way that boosters are identified (right-click set as booster, name has a symbol in fleet window)? The Fleet XO would have the same fleet "move people around" ability as the Fleet Boss, and would automatically receive the star (become fleet boss) when the current fleet boss leaves fleet.
My feeling is that the XO would relieve the Fleet Boss of some of the details of fleet management and also provide a safety for catching the star when the fleet boss disconnects.

Did you fix the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME someone moves in fleet the fleet members window resets and scrolls all the way to the top again?
Because if not, then this feature will quickly become extremely irritating to use. Malcanis for CSM 8 Phrases like "you can't nerf / buff X EVE is a Sandbox" have the same amount of meaning as "If this is a sack of potatoes then you can not carrot." - Alara IonStorm |

Fleet boss disconnect, followed by semi-random new fleet boss assignment, is a major pain point. Please give us a way to designate a backup! |

I suck helium for CCP Karkur, that is how awesome she is
Awesome tweak, thank you very much! I will echo the other opiners here with their request for a sensible way to handle the disconnection of the fleet "boss". Perhaps a way for the fleet to "mutiny" and force the boss privilege to move to someone else (preferably one of the mutineers, since they are obviously at-keyboard and not having connection/somnolence issues).

A nice feature indeed.
But if you really want to save people some big trouble add a second/third free move option (don't change the existing rules) to allow free move to wing- and/or fleet-commanders.
Furthermore an option to make a corp/alliance fleet boss in order to avoid dropping adverts when someone disconnects would be nice.
Theese are my suggestions but definately not mine alone, pretty much every corp/alliance i have been in in the past years countless people have been asking for this, so while you are at it, maybe add 20 more lines of code, pretty please :) |

Since you're already mucking about in that code, a while back I noticed that the fleet window's reported position for you (wing & squad) sometimes doesn't match where you really are. (In a large fleet, finding oneself in the fleet window can be a real chore.) I don't know what causes this, and I don't know if it has been fixed in the recent past.

MDD I've bug reported this and it came back a day later as "not reproducible." Which is ridiculous seeing as it happens to me in almost every fleet I'm in.

James and I are talking about buggy behavior in the existing Tranquility client. The fleet window, in the window title, lists the wing and squad you're in. Unfortunately, the information displayed is often wrong, but I wasn't able to determine a rationale to the wrong-ness.
