Hi FDEV
I am disappointed with Squadrons, and most of my group is not impressed
It costs to create a squadron, but there is no actual benefit unique to being in the squadron (nothing that can't be replicated in DISCORD or INARA), why not have a bank even if its only materials or just credits, a mission builder specifically for the guild, something like a mini community goal for squadrons.
There are four ranks and a single position (leader) with no further ability to organise players in the game, we have 10 ranks in our group, multiple different positions and several subgroups, to be able to support this we will continue to use DISCORD and INARA and will be unlikely to use the features in Squadrons as this will just confuse our players on where to look for information and add extra burdens to leaders trying to post multiple messages for players.
We are never going to get onto the leader-boards, we won't care about them, and this appears to be purely to have us in competition against other groups. Smaller groups are worried about themselves, they want the ability to organise and play together, complete goals and mission together. So why is there no ability for Squadrons to even be able to generate their own goals and missions?
You are sending a mixed message a limit on player numbers who can join a squadron then putting up the leader-boards which are combined points from members
We wanted a Squadron system where we can help each other and bring up new players to play a game with friends and like-minded people, and we feel that there is very little apart from Squadron Name and ID that this will offer us. Where is the Squadron bank, where is the ability to bring people up with a good guild and bank manager who can ensure there is help for new players and prevent abuse funds?
We want to build alliances with other groups to be able to support and assist them as well, with one character limit to do this we either have to have the ability to join other groups, or have alliances with them.
Why don't you just delay squadrons until you have something better, that will attract people, or, this will result in it becoming a dead feature and needing no support since no one uses it.....
