Ive been thinking about how formations could be implemented in eve for a while now, and i think i have an idea that might just work.
Imagine if the fleet commander or gangleader could "generate" beacons around his ship that followed his every move transversally. These beacons would be targetable by people in the gang or fleet, so that they chould chose to assign themselves to a beacon(approaching it constantly). Ive added a picture to help explain what i mean.
Beacons and formations
Once someone choses to approach a beacon, that becon dissapears and when said person "detaches"(starts moving away) from the beacon it reappers. This way people can easily assign themselves to available beacons.
Ofcourse, there would be little point to this unless formations had an accompanying bonus. For instance, a box formation with the leader in the middle could give a defensive bonus to the entire gang (once all beacons are assigned) while a formation like the one in the picture could give an offensive bonus.
Also, you could change the size of the formation field with a slider that would add/remove new rows or columns of beacons. If the gang leader travels too fast and someone strays too far from their beacon, they would detatch themselves automatically making the bonus void. Or you could make it so that the more beacons are attached the better the bonus, i dont know, its just an idea.
Ofcourse, i have no idea how difficult the programming behind all of this would be, but like i said, its just an idea.

When you git warp fleet, everyone gets scrambled in a big blob.
I doupt formations will ever be used in eve, this sort of ideas is common.

well.. no, beacuse they would warp to their assigned beacons wouldnt they? or at least in line with their beacons. Or maybe not, it would be nice if the system somehow assured everyone in a formation warps together but i reckon that isnt possible.. ______________
