20+ pages and at least some enthusiasm for "new".
It makes sense to me, at least after reading all of this, that the scheduled jump function is both a: "when you want" and b: "because if there are 16 ships doing something, a nice timer in the corner stops someone missing it".
Since we cannot PILOT the thing, how else was anyone expecting the jump to happen when trying to line up your wing/squadron?
I mean, there's a TON of good thought here, but some of the naysaying (true some of it will be) is just knee-jerk hating from ex-players or those that, for some reason, live to hate this game and FDev.
I'll believe it when I see it - and I have some hope that this is a good and positive move towards the 2020 content with the carriers and what comes later (it'll be v1 people; things move on!).
I dream that I can call a ship or two along for the ride; so that I might mine a distant ring, and then disappear off to new things, or materials, and return for an onward journey. Doesn't feel like an impossible dream either.
