I remember when we could not warp to zero... BMs were eveywhere then CCP fixed that issue.
Now people will remember when we cannot fleet warp to locations they do not have marked... meaning there will be a duplication and expansion of BMs in many cases. This seems a step backwards. How retro are the navigation systems in our ships that we cannot warp to a location the fleet commander effectively broadcasts to us?
If I can get the warp co-ordinates to warp to a fleet member, why am I unable to obtain the warp co-ordinates to warp to a location specified by the commander? From a science fiction and technical point of view, your change is not making a lot of sense.
What issue are you really trying to solve, and are you really certain that this really the best way to solve it? |

Another question: when the new structures, such as Citadels, come into the game, will fleet warp work with them as well? |

This isn't going to be the huge negative impact on bombers that some people seem to believe it will be.
Most of the bombing fleets I have been in, no wait, all of the bombing fleets I have been in use a warp in scout. Scout gets into position then designated waves of bombers warp to the scout.
If anything, I see this neutering of Fleet Warp as targeted to people who multi-box. Unfortunately, it impacts non-multi-boxers with equal ferocity.
My main issue with this is the inconsistency of the change. Personally, I don't think CCP should do this in half-measures, just remove Fleet Warp completely instead of doing it in parts.
Edit to add: and it would be easy to justify the removal of fleet warp from the game because of the introduction of the entosis link - slaving your navigation computer to someone elses is a security risk that the entosis link could take advantage of. |
