Wouldnt it be cool to be able to warp in formation, by this I mean when fleets are forming up and then get gang warped they all end up as a single big blob at the other end. I think it would be cool if we got a "warp in current formation" icon/button/option. Yes some wiseguy will say that you could warp off the individual wings or squads, but how fun is that? Would also give a more strategic feel to the game.
Thanks

Some even more wise guy will point out that different ships warp at different speeds. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

ya know if this was implemented that would be pretty cool, id also like to see something like a phalanx line, where the FC could press a button and all the ship would form up, capitals in the back, then battleships, then battlecrusers and crusers, then frigs and possibly a titian at point, or something to tha teffect forum warrior in training ya cant stop the rokh

When moving in formation, the formation always moves at the speed of its slowest member. Or a little slower.

Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 03/09/2007 07:08:08 The small ships go first:
*swoop!* *swoop!* *swoop!*
Followed shortly by cruisers:
*Shwooop!* *Shwooop!* *Shwooop!*
Followed by battlecruisers:
*Shawooop!* *Shawooop!*
And finally battleships(it's a classic ships gang):
*Shwahooomp!* *Shwahooomp!*
Then all are in warp together:
*Yo ho ho and a bottle of Quafe!!*
Then they come out of warp at the same way they went in:
*swoop!* *swoop!* *swoop!* *Shwooop!* *Shwooop!* *Shwooop!* *Shawooop!* *Shawooop!* *Shwahooomp!* *Shwahooomp!*
And that's how it should be
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

If eve worked in such a way where formations were usefull, then yeah it would be pritty cool, unfortunateley no battleship ever has the same optimal range as anouther, hence the oftern given order "warp to XXX at your optimals" warping to an optimal range is far FAR quicker than slowboating it into a formation position at 150m/s and THEN warping, allthough i guess it would be possable to workout a system where every fleet/wing/squad commander gets to enter in a formation possition for his pilots, and then the individual pilots enter in there own optimal range, and and the fleet "formation warps" the server could calculate formation positions based on the individual ships optimal range....
Thing is though, thats a bit easy, there is allready such a thing and it involves covops and interceptor pilots getting in to 'warp to' positions for the other pilots in his gang, when a hostile interdictor or sniper fleet turns up in an unfavorable position, its down to the skills of both the fleet commander and the covops / ceptor pilots to be in the right place at the right time and be prepeared for it.
Personley, i like the way it is now, it takes RL skills on the parts of several key people useing ingame knowledge and tactics, if it were easy as just pushing a few buttons and never haveing a huge blob of your snipers get cought in a dictor bubble, i'd actuley say that would dumbing down eve, not improveing it.
That said, mabey there could be some good uses for something like this, i'm not sure, but it shouldent be something that replaces real skill and tactics. -
