I would suggest more group modes in channels, i.e. not just operator. A "trusted" mode could be useful. and leads onto my next point.
I think incursion and NPSI would use this if it were possible, a filtered post. So, you post a fit and x up, but select to x up in hidden mode, so only the operator i.e. FC can see it. It helps keep intel on ship types and fleet numbers safe, without using external game tools. FCs could filter background chat when forming fleet and filter to show only the posts of fits/x directed to them etc etc. Could also be used in fleet chat itself for scouts to relay intel to the FC discretely. Not sure if this would be a nightmare to make happen but just an idea.
MOTDs are a little broken, anyone who has tried to set upe up will find that there are issues with character limitations and what font colour size you use and you basically can't ever post the max number of character you are supposed to be able to. I think everyone will benefit form a MOTD fix.
Channel links. it is a pain to create a channel link. How about a simple function that ingame channels get a self link in their MOTD when you make them? Is this something impossible? I think it would be useful.
How about a limited open fleet advert, i.e. limited to the system the FC/boss iscurrently in, available in the fleet finder, and linkable in channels for others outside system. Everyone would like this sort of thing.
The channel tab system get s small and unreadable if you have many chat channels open and stacked. How about a front tab only visible, with channels that flash tabbing to just behind the active chat window. would certainly save a lot of messing with channels for FCs or all walks of eve.
I have to say, CCP have done a lot of very nice change to the UI of fleets, form watchlists, clear broadcasts, drag drop invites. Making life easier is good. Easy access fleet broadcast buttons for FC could be good, for aligns and warps tos etc....but so far so goo

That does make it easier, and I missed it. But still messing with notepad and make your own link. |

I don't have any substantive thoughts on this yet besides being in favor of it, but if the final feature is distinct enough to merit an in-game name, please try to help it be a not dumb name. Neither "social clubs" nor "social groups" sound...New Eden-y to me. Extra-Corporate Capsuleer Organizations (ECCOs) maybe? I dunno. But I like the way they chose the name for ISIS, so moar of that plz.
I know this is really superficial, but it makes a difference. |

1. Make it possible to advertise fleets via mailing lists and/or create an event in the calendar. OR add fleet ads for channels that a pilot is in.
2. Add the option to have a waitlist for a fleet advertisements if the person is on the mailing list that the fleet was advertised with; fc & wc & sc can see ship fitting, location and the time the person enlisted.
3. Add a rectangle selection tool(like blender hotkey 'b') for selecting several pilots in space at the same time and the possibilty to either change their color or hide them from the overview etc.
4. not sure about this one: more micromanagement for fleets in the form of having the option to color (or maybe change saturation or blink frequency) of broadcasted targets by who broadcasted it (fleetmember < squadmember < squadcommander < wingcommander < fleetcommander). I'm not sure about the broadcast 'spotted an enemy' since i have never seen any fleet use that. Logically it seems to me that target calling should be using that instead of using the standard 'target' since that might lead to friendly fire. Everyone in fleet can broadcast a 'target' to draw the fleets attention to it (i.e. logis broadcasting afks, disconnects, bombers or herotackles) but only sc/wc/fc can broadcast 'spotted enemy' for hostiles. btw is there a way to see who broadcasted something? if not add that |

I just want to +1 your idea, a new set of hierarchy tools available to common goal groups would be extremely helpful to many aspects of EVE.

Just my top items. They are not really just for NPSI, they would make lots of thing easy for others as well.
1. Fleet bookmarks. Really we already have shared bookmarks with jetcans and trade. Its horrible and broken. But clearly the idea of sharing bookmarks outside a corp is something that can already be done. Just fix it a bit. This would have zero effect on interceptors. You don't bookmark a target, you warp to your cepter.
2. Metafleets. fleets of fleets. If that implemented via temp standing fine. But there are cases, not just in NPSI groups, where "combined operations" are pretty standard. Don't make us fight the UI for something that is clearly ok to do.
3. Bulk ship fitting. We have in the past given out free fitted ships. Fitting 200 rifters is no fun at all. We should be able to just click 100 hulls and do a "fit all" or something. Clearly this will help big corps as much as our smaller NPSI communities.
As for NPSI to avoid wardecs? PvPers don't avoid wardecs! Death and Glory!
Well fun is also good. |

I should add that the ultimate way to avoid wardecs is not NPSI communities, but NPC corps. Incursion runners anyone? Death and Glory!

Something that might make the life easier, and in some aspects - more worrysome, for a corp that would run public fleets is the ability to set the fleet as open to everyone and anyone. See this thread for more info!

Ranger 1 put the presentations up on youtube.
Jayne's is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjs-lTZDkNs
I recommended everyone give it a watch, find out what NPSI is and why groups such as ours really need the tools discussed in this thread.
If you do have suggestions relevant to this, feel free to post away.

fleet standing. 2-way FC approval. A fleet commander (boss) can invite another fleet to set positive fleet standing. Only possible if both parties are in a fleet and Boss of their fleets...when accepted the 2 fleets gets same standing (as a single fleet). Meaning making another standing layer. Standard setup, not showing fleet members, will now have another "not show 2nd fleet". This will make "merging" of fleet easier. Usefull for both NPSI and big alliances. The big fleets meeting with other groups (alliances and corps) and other groups, can make tactical alignments towards hostiles and neutral fleets in a system quickly. No time for spying on tactical changes on stance on the battlefield. FC can make it instantly and by using an extra layer it will comply with any overview setup that has "dont show 2nd fleet". Maby a fleet could broadcast for posible open standings, so any fc boss could find in fleetfinder. Someone wrote about battlereports +1
Jump clones into wormholes It should be possible to jump clone into a wormhole. Add anything to level it. Heavy jump fatigue, number of jumps possible into hole, some heavy fuel or other. Prize on "jump clone array" :)
Jump clone beacon - corp/alliance it should be possible, for a corp authorized to install a "corp beacon" on a station in known space, that will give any member a jump clone instantly. Thus allowing wh dwellers to interact with known space - npsi with a way back to wh. add some heavy downsize, like major fattigue to avoid messing too much with latest changes. Limit the time on availability or the number that can use it.
Jump clone beacon - community/Fleet Or make a fleet boss/"channel autorized" able to install a "community beacon" on a station, allowing any member of that community/fleet to jump clone to that system. Add jump cost, cost installment on beacon. It could be a time-limited installment with a nasty pricetag. Limit the number of alliance/corp members that can use it, so used for npsi and not messing with recent changes around power projection.

Spectre Fleet just ran out of room on two of our mailing lists.
These communities are growing too large to be managed by the tools currently available.

+1 to increasing the max number of people on a mailing list (or just dropping the limit!)
While I'm here, like to reiterate the prior suggestions for the ability to make a fleet open to ALL, regardless of standings, pretty please!! Begging on our knees!
Thanks for all that you do!

+ 1 many good suggestions and urgent needs.
Nothing substantial to add, but one thing, whatever you come up with about "social groups" independent from corporations, don't force players to chose, the system needs to easily allow people to be part of as many groups they want.

I'm hoping that the mailing list problem JayneGÇÖs flagged up is a relatively simple change for CCP to implement. What technical implications or knock on effects this could have I have no idea, but if these aforementioned tools and social grouping improvements are still some way down the road. Then this fix (and maybe other smaller fixes) would go a long way to providing a nice compromise until then.
IGÇÖm also hoping newer players wanting access to Spectre Fleet and other bigger NPSI communities aren't put in a situation where theyGÇÖre left out the loop. Not having access to vital information concerning NPSI and its events because of this technicality would suck.
These lists seem to be the heart of official communications at present for NPSI, not including the actual player run channels. Remember itGÇÖs the little things that count. Change this little thing please CCP! |

Summit update.
If you go to the #CSM9 Winter Summit Day One minutes, you will note that under the Corps & Alliances discussions (page 14), the subject of Clubs/Societies/Corp-lite came up.
First up is an increase in mailing size to 5000 characters in the Tiamat release, which will make increasing the numbers of players reached by the NPSI message much larger.
Along with this, CCP have been continuing to look into what would make social groups a "thing". So lets keep this thread - and the future of social groups - alive with your thoughts and ideas.
