Edited for spelling.
I'm really not liking some of this. It's all good, but for me the game breaker is the fact that ONLY those in leadership positions can give out bonii.
There hasn't been a dev reply on this [properly] yet, so I'd like to ask.
My position is such that I like to do "logistics" stuff - I like to sit there quietly (e.g. among the BS group in a fleet) and dish out bonii to my fellows, or provide support in other ways (point defence, repper, or whatever). So I've trained like 4 months of time into the Command ships (BC5, Information Warfare 5, IW Spec 4, Cyber 5, Leadership 5), and I'm pretty good with the modules (properly good once I get the implant in a couple of weeks).
HOWEVER I'm an atrocious [fleet] commander - I probably couldn't lead a 5 ceptor gang successfully vs a noobship.
So basically, I'm now more use to the gang in an Oneiros than in an Eos, unless I totally forsake the Eos' specialisation and use it as a gunship :|
Also what about carriers - being as they can assign fighters to smaller faster ships they don't have any reason to come to the front lines, however now that they HAVE to so that they can successfully apply gang bonii. Also, the carrier pilots have to be in leadership positions within the fleet to apply the bonii. They seemed to have got kicked while they were down, a little, as they currently have no 'onboard' offensive abilities unless they fit smartbombs, essentially making them a drifting billion ISK target if you want to get any leadership bonii from them :|
PLEASE I urge you to reconsider the way this works. I understand that for now there are technical restrictions, but once those are fixed this needs to be changed.
Please at the very least allow member<->member bonuses across a squadron, or even better across a wing (including applying them to leaders thereof).
Fix this, and the new system will be pretty **** good! (256 gang limit ftw)
I know, I said 'bonii'. |
