if people align before the fleet commander issues a fleet warp, they all warp at the same time and same speed and then land on the grid at the same time.
It is all a matter of people listening to orders and keeping fleet discipline.

Errm, no they dont. Larger ships warp slower and speed at warps are also considerable slower. What op means, is that when you command fleet to warp in synchro, all ships initiate jump drives and heat it up untill ready to jump (and after all ships in fleet has archieved the jump treshold, they loose the warp brake). Speed is also calculated by the slowest warp speed ship, and not by the mission running frigate that is tagging along the mission.
As Kell said ... in a fleet warp all ships will be slowed down to the warp speed of the slowest ship.
So when you want to see your ceptor warp at 0.7AU/s try a fleet warp with a freighter.
though many people die because they are not fully aligned. so when the fleet warp out they get delayed and might get caught by tacklers. thats why people often ask for a "fleet align" option.
but tbh ... if people cant keep fleet discipline ... they deserve to die.
And I understood that Admiral Morlan wants the same ... ships will not warp before everyone is fully aligned.

I like the idea of warping only initiating when all ships are aligned. But what would be a significant and interesting change would be a mass jump ability. If your faction is good with the jump gate owners than your fleet could make a single mass jump and enter the next system as a coherent group. That would change the way gate camps work and make some interesting battles possible. But your idea unlike mine might actually be implemented :)
His idea might get the whole fleet killed. and not just the few people who are too stupid to align.
not sure you really want that.

FC: "everyone align towards the sun"
Some people prefer to pick their nose.
hostile fleet shows up on scanner and a dictor decloaks on grid.
currently:
FC initiates fleet warp. all aligned people will warp out instantly.
The nose picking lemmings get bubbled and dispatched by the hostile fleet.
With this idea implemented:
FC initiates fleet warp and gets a message "waiting for whole fleet to align, will enter warp in a few moments"
Whole fleet gets bubbled and dispatched by the hostile fleet.
Your fleet won EVE.
Now think again if it is to obvious that it should be implemented. even for non celestials warp out spots you can say "align towards the sun 45degrees upwards" and most ships should be in warp quickly, even when they need a small turn.

I see what you mean, and I agree this could be fatal in an emergency situation. (Or could just brush it off with "Tough luck.")
However, the current "Warp fleet" functionality needn't to be replaced. It would be perfectly fine to just add the new Sync warp as another option. It's a context menu, who cares if it gets another item? The options could be named "Sync-warp fleet" and "Panic-warp fleet" or something. Or use Ctrl while selecting the option to choose between those functionalities.
So you want the game to be idiot proof? ... seriously ... hitting align before starting to pick your nose isnt that much of rocket science.

double click in space and your ship will start moving into the right direction. and if you FC shouts at you "align to above the gate" or "align towards the enemy fleet". then even when you cant use the "align" button, you are still aligning towards it.
because "being aligned" just means "your nose points into the rough direction and you have atleast 75% of your top speed".
nothing more.

Why is this a bad thing? Player skill should matter too, and if your fleet members are too dumb to be aligned (or the FC was too dumb to wait for people to align) then they deserved to die.
I never said it is bad ... it is darwin at its best. ... but the suggested idea would get the whole fleet killed *because* of the lemmings.
