Okay, finally some leadership skills are on market, awesome. I REALLY want leadership skills and formation skills and stuff out ASAP.. but here's the problem:
Has CCP given up on limiting gang sizes? I really think CCP should limit gangs, your leadership skill should give you the ability to form larger gangs.
Why? Okay one guy leading a gang with the leadership skills is going to be able to effect over 30 people. That's kind of messed up.
I think the game would be more tactical if it were more squadron based, several gangs of 6-8 people is cooler than say, 1 gang of 40 people.
So CCP, have you given up on this and you are just going to let us form unlimited sized gangs or will we ever see the gang system broken down to small squadrons where several people will need these leadership skills to be effective?

If they also make it so that small squads in formations with good leadership skills are the most effective force in the battlefield it will also reduce lag indirectly, by reducing blobs.

limited gang size would allow for better use of tactics

I think they gave up on the size limit, the 'main' Leadership skill no longer mentions the gang size. :/
And yup, would make things more interesting with smaller gangs... >>:

In Some Other Game (mumble... EQ ... mumble) "gangs" (called groups) are limited to 6 but they can be combined into a larger force, called a raid. Generally, effects are group only, but recently higher cost skills have been introduced to allow group and raid leaders to have various effects on their respective force levels.
Perhaps a second level of Leadership could be introduced here (Battallion? Fleet?) that would allow for "gangs of gangs" with similar effects (regen/scan/cloak/dmg) both to allow further specialization ("More skillz!!") and more interesting fleet engagements. ("Ooh, looks like they have Admiral Raynor - he's got the best scanners in LoneTrek!!")

I think they have, because the leadership skill now gives +2% bonus to targeting speed instead of +1 to max gang size.

iirc it was supposed to give both... I think there should simply be support leadership skills, that are harder to train than leadership and allow you to help the Leader with the max size..
It's dumb to be able to have unlimited size gangs.
