This will not change much. The list of people carrying responsibility in a Fleet will rise from 2 (FC + Scout) to 4: FC, Scout, and 2 moving perches in ceptors, repositioning themselves on grid as needed and functioning as a warpable beacon moving at 6km/s.

Winter Archipelago wrote:So, two serious questions as I'm thinking more about this:
First, this is an absolutely massive buff to the defenders. Having to essentially sit and wait compared to having to coordinate warps to land at the same time is such a different beast that it's not even fair trying to compare them. Is this an intended outcome despite the past changes that were more oriented towards /weakening/ defenders?
Secondly, how much speculation has been put into how this will affect mixed-size fleets? Battleships and Battlecruisers were already seeing significantly less use, but with their slow warp speed, they'll be landing a significant amount of time after the faster ships. Even if everyone is just off-grid from the intended warp-to and is already aligned, the slower start-up and slow-down that larger ships have mean that frigs and cruisers will have been on-grid and vulnerable for a fair amount of time. Combined with latency issues and missed voice commands, I'm concerned that a change like this will end up homogenizing fleets even more than they already are.
No idea why your fleet would get seperated, tbh, since you can still Fleetwarp them. You just need 1 (one) other fleetmember as your warpin first. Or warp to celestials. |

If we had Alliance bookmarks, however...
Covops with warpspeed rigs maybe? As a +1? No? No scouting? Just blind warps around space? Cool. |
