For me, it's like the "Squadron Only" setting simply does not work. I mean, it should be simple right?
- FC Setting "Squadron only"
- Squadron member turns up - let them dock!
I'd never played around with the access options until yesterday, I was always happy for anyone do dock who needed to for repairs and basic resupply - which is all I offered. With the amount of FC's in whatever system I'm in though, I don't think I had any visitors. I finally need to lock it down and limit the carrier to the Squadron I'm forming (just two Commanders currently) - I mean, weren't FC's originally planned to be Squadron only - and it's broken.
Sure, we can set it to friends only. However, most of my friends - who I'm happy to instance with and even sometimes team up - are not the same as those I want to have access to EVERYTHING on my FC. This includes discounted services and perhaps the odd special deal on Commodities. I think, without exception, they all have FC's of their own anyway.
We really a full set of tiered permissions for FC's. Who can dock, what services they can access, what tariffs they're charged and what commodities, and at what price, are available to them.
I.e. Anyone can access my FC for refuel, repairs and basic resupply - 10% tariff. Squadron members pay just a 1% tariff. Everyone can access my Commodities market, but some items are limited to just Squadron members / Squadron members have an extra discount applied. Oh, Buying and Selling at the same time please!
I feel we need this level of control, rather than all-access or none. Though I'd settle for this Squadron Only bug being fixed!
Scoob.
