Possibility of Social Enhancements? ("Looking for Wings", Clan/Corporation Search, Recruitment Channel in Chat)
Has anybody heard of a possibility for social enhancements to the game?
From my experience in other MMO-style games (EVE, Guild Wars, Firefall, Wildstar, etc) there are typically chat channels that include something like "Looking for Group", or recruitment. I'm a very social gamer (CoD, EVE, Battlefield, Counter-Strike, etc) and regardless of which game I'm playing I am playing in/with a clan and in their respective teamspeak server.
This request combines some other threads as well, but if there existed a possibility to search for players and corporations in-game it would certainly add another layer to the social aspect of the game. I am envisioning the ability to look at a player's profile to view what their ranks are in exploration, combat, and trading, their membership status to a corporation and/or faction, the current ship they are flying, and if they are friends and allow this info to be shared with me - the system in which they are currently located. There could always be more added onto this, but if we as pilots in-game had more of an identity other than the ship we are flying and our presence in chat I feel we would have a deeper connection to the game and other players. It would also be pretty cool if we could create an avatar / emblem for ourselves. I know the risk of some pilots doing something immature with this, but a means for us to identify one friend from another apart from their name could only help. Lastly - and it is nothing huge - it would be cool if we had the ability to create a biography of our own character/avatar to portray our own personality to other pilots / potential wingmates.
Cheers,
