Gang warfare, fleet battles, overview, settings, and much more, TomB's new Dev Blog is big. Maybe not quite to the scale of a Francis Ford Coppola film, but close enough as far as we're concerned. Just don't expect to drink an oversided soda while reading this one and not have to take a trip to the restroom.

Looks good to me. Although it's going to upset a lot of people who want to command fleets, but have munchkin low charisma.

I'm not sure to understand, does it mean that if i'm in a BC with gang modules, for the bonus to apply to all members i have to be the leader of the entity (fleet commander to give all bonuses to fleet, wing commander to give bonus to all the squadron ? if i dont want to be a leader then i'm useless? then GANG modules = being FC ?

A gang limit of 50 will needlessly cripple alliance combat when Kali hits, since nobody will be able to train the skills until they are released - and even then, with good skills it will take at least a month to match a 50 man gang limit.

A bit sidetrack but I notice in one screen it says "warp to 0m" for the gang member. Does that mean we can expect warp to 0km for everything in EVE?
Does that also mean we have a chance of accidently bumping everyone away during combat?

That only means that they put in that option to make testing easier. Nothing is sure until Kali hits TQ.

True, true but then why cant a dev take 5 sec to post stating that? I think it will happen or they wanna test the waters first so to speak both on SISI and the community.

Players who didnt want to lead should have thought twice before training leadership skills and command ships.

Nice but please make it so that you can disconnect the gang window from the overview, its impossible to fit both under each other after these changes. -----

Wait what... These are new skills, so will leadership not give ability to have a gang of 10? will the skill wing etc allready existing not be the ones that increase gang size/squadron size? so when this gets released there wont be any gangs for a long while? im so confused now.

Does the bonus comign from squadron, wing and fleet commanders mean that you can get 3 bonuses stacked? Or is it just the highest bonus like it is now?

You'll be capable of having a Fleet of 256 members right away, the only problem is that you won't be capable of having the Fleet Commander active until he has sufficient skills to run an army of that size. So the only difference is that this single Commander can't be giving commands or gang bonuses to this big group of players.

Edited by: Bermag on 07/11/2006 13:00:02 Does this mean that you can get same bonus from 3 gang member, fleet leader, wing commander and squad leader or is it still only the highest bonus that applies?
EDIT: Sorry question replied before I hit reply.

Slight hyperbole. With Leadership V you get 10 people in squadron. That's, what, 5 days of training, even if you have no leadership to start with -- and pretty much everyone has at least Leadership 3-4, it's only rank 1. For 50 people, you need Wing Command 4. So that's a rank 8 skill to level 4, which is... dunno, 7 days (just a guess)?
So that's 5 + 7 = 12 days, less than 2 weeks.
...and everyone else will be in the same boat, it's not like you'll be the only alliance dealing with this.
So we'll see smaller gangs for a few weeks. Sky isn't falling.
Of course, if your Charisma is 3 then it sucks to be you. Nobody forced you to take that minimized charisma, now it's payback time for all the training time you've saved up to now.

Originally by: TomB It won't be available in Kali but it's planned for next upcoming release. The good thing though is that you have collapsing groups inside the gang UI and members take less space now.
So the gang UI itself takes less space. The addon is the gang broadcast window how ever which you can resize as you want to see as many broadcasts you want to at given moment.
Awesome beans! \o/
PS: I knew 13 base charisma would make me awesome one day! -----
