and to an extent, i agree. But i do think that what i stated above is a better idea than the "tank" ship.

It's not that hard to multibox 10 clients, you don't need isboxer either, just bind keys to windows over character names for alt tabbing.

They still haven't explained why headshotting the enemy FC is a problem.

Because it puts all the advantage on the meta-game. Meaning the advantage rests with the old rich players who have all the Meta-game stuff already set up to be able to spy on newer groups.
Which isn't good for the game, the metagame will always exist, but it shouldn't be the primary requirement to get anywhere. Actually playing in the game should be the best thing.

Then you don't need to worry do you. The idea (ship or resistance) will not be implemented and we can all go back to doing what ever we do.

Didn't think i'd need to say this again... but just for you...

... unlike you i understand that some people are followers, some leaders, some just want to build, and some just want to destroy. There are many players with many ways of enjoying the game.

Just answer my question:

How does keeping on guy (FC) make the game better?

I've eddited my original post several times... you may want to look at it again.

Here's a trick that some good FCs do:

Decentralize the command structure

You have an FC for maneuvering and scouting. This person job is to find you a fight and get you into the best position to fight it.
You have an FC for target calling. This person's job is simple; choose the best targets to win the fight. Have multiple Target callers in case one of them gets shot down.
You have an EWar/Logi FC. Their job is to perform their specialty to direct support to friendly firepower where needed.

By keeping everything separate, you make it so that the enemy fleet has a hard time "scattering" the hostile fleet. The tradeoff is that it does take practice and trust in the judgement of others.

Sounds like a personal problem then.

Sometimes the best solution is to give up control rather than concentrate it.

Not sure if i understood your "commander" statement, but here goes an answer. You set up your commanders and who is under them ahead of time, if done right you have no need to move them Mid-Battle.

You are right, i said nothing with regards to Freighters, because i've made it clear that if you want to use, say... 100 Shuttles to gain immunity to any dmg, then go for it. (see... repeating my self again)

Its not a matter of FCing from Logistic ship. with the resistance bonus, Fleet Commanders would put their logistic in Wing Commander possitions to gain the bonus. This could lead to a stale-mate where 2 fleets meet and neither can kill each other because Logistic is holding and keeping every one alive.

For those of you (if any) keeping tabs on this thread, i've added a 4th edit.

Docking in capital ships and being transported by them gets thrown about as well. In fact, the DEVs originally wanted to do just that. Then technical limitations with the base code of the game got in the way
