So I setup a Website for Those wanting to Wing together

So few months ago I was on a trade route when I was attacked by some pirates (I got away) I asked my fellow friends for a escort but they were busy so I came up with an Idea where people can post Escort,Combat,Exploration Wing Requests sorta like a bulletin board for wing partnerships, I recently launched it with Horizons on the way I thought it would be best letting the community know, I called the website Elite-Wings. Heres a link :) http://elite-wings.eu Its pretty empty right now with 4 members but I hope to expand it to trade requests and such, When I get back from Sag A* I'll be an Combat Escort for anyone :)

Any Suggestions on how to make it better?

Great idea by the way and my post is by no means a diss of the site, but how do you intend to stop Cmdr Griefers/Pirates/Gankers (Whatever terminology you may want to use but we all know who i mean!) from using this site to find a trader to target?

Thanks

You could add a rating system like Angies List. After a successful mission the trader rates the companion. You'd get an idea of who was a griefer pretty quick with feedback.

Nice! Just yesterday I proofed up an 'advert' for my services as a combat escort in a variety of mission configurable ships.

So other than having a mobile friendly skin you should have a forum for us Mercs to advertise in.

Both excellent suggestions, and kudos to getting the website together, I've registered and will undoubtedly make use of it in the future, and I'll get my grandson to do the same after he gets Elite for Christmas, kid loves to talk with other people when he's playing a game online. He's only 12, but don't worry about language, between his father and I, he's pretty used to adults who play video games competitively and how crude and rude we get ;)
 
Wasp0 I haven't thought about that, I suppose Some sort of Rep Points would be required, or some sort of Trade off so that if it were to be someone messing about there would be a downfall, maybe a deposit of credits.

Thanks, I've Activated your account, I need to work on Spambot functions for the website, I just put something together that took 20 mins, I'm a HTML/PHP coder by trade I'm working on a nicer site. I just wanted Temp functionality

Like the idea. How about a Noob section so more experience CMDR's can wing up with them and teach them the ropes, also help them earn credits at the same time.

Completely agree with Shadragon, a rating system is needed to avoid any unwanted activities.

+1 rep for your work.

Noob Section, I Like it Basic Training for new players, my mind is exploding with functionality for this I'm wondering splitting it up would be worth it. Basic Flight Training, Basic Combat Training, Trade Training and Exploration Training, With Horizons on the way Buggy Training would be useful.
 
Quick update to those who Registered on the old empty website, Today I updated the website and will continue to work on it over the next 48 hours to bring upto fully working order I've got to setup the Ranking options thanks to shadragon for the suggestion,

Please Keep your Suggestions going , I'll Credit everyone on a Page on the website for your input

Over and out!

Nice idea! I missed this thread the first time around.

I registered. I already spend quite a bit of time helping new players in starter systems, so that'll provide a better platform to find someone in need :)

Hi, Thanks for Registering, That's Great on my end because I know that people can Register which means things work at my end. If you have anyone who uses Wings please recommend us as we could do with more users :)
