Introduce a new level of player groups

[CMDR Don Samen]

After introduction of squadrons the player interactions got a new level. It seems natural when it comes to the next big thing in this game, the Fleet Carriers. But there are som squadrons that are really big, and it is just natural. A lot of players working together for common goals have new ways of collaborate to do so. But when it comes to fleet carriers and what that brings to this universe, the squadrons will not be the most efficient way to make good use of them.

I would like to see a new level of player groups, like divisions. Many divisions can be part of a squadron, and a division can only be member of one squadron. With that, you can group player divisions with focus around fleet carriers giving the players connection to a limited number of Fleet Carriers. Then players can move between divisions with different focus within the squadron to utilize each divisions specific role, based on the setup of the Fleet Carriers within that division. The communication will flow much easier in comms regarding the Fleet Carrier when it is limited to the division. And the squadron can utilize on each divisions setup and capabilities.

That would lift the entire game to a new level when it comes to player interactions.

Forgive me for being a Debbie Downer, but Frontier has poured a lot of resources into various multiplayer features (most of which are lacking) over the years. I'd like to see lone wolf and solo players get some love now. You know, proper NPC crew and wings, better solo missions, stories, etc. Solo is a game mode, too

It starts with superpowers which are run by FDEV as far as I know.

Then we have powers which can be aligned or not with a superpower. Most are FDEV - I think a few are player run.

Then we have factions (again most FDEV some player run). Factions can be aligned or not with a super power AND/OR a power.

Then we have squadrons (all player run) which can be associated with superpowers AND/OR powers AND/OR factions.

If I remember correctly.

• I do understand the idea.

If solo was only solo play, not interfering with open BGS and Power Play there would not be a problem with that. If you as solo player could interact with the power of four large ships it would tip the balance of power play totally. They are already struggling with players use of clever game mechanics to manipulate BGS.

I'd be happy if I could see my crew in the ship.

I'm not even bothering with the large ships until this becomes a reality.
