Squadrons: give us a possibility to answer the request somehow / Exchange squadron ID with name

[CMDR Darth Vater]

Right now I can't see much love in the squadrons ingame honestly.

The application management is poor:
I accept someone, but he doesn't disappear from the list (or rather delayed possibly). If I accept him again, I accept another request actually. ?
I can't respond to the application message. That's ... poor.
Message system is broken. I as squadron leader need to wait till I've changed instances sometimes to get allowed to my own squadrons channels. Quite often I am still stuck to the "Test" channel.

The presentation of the squadrons ingame is also quite poor.
We e.g. have got an ingame faction we fight for. All NPC ships carry Lavigny's Legion. But our ships come with "Squadron ID: LLPC". I'd like to see the full name. There's space enough for that obviously.

I'd like to see hotspots of my squadron mates and to give them targets, missions, orders.

It seems to me that the Squadrons feature - whilst accessible and launched - is still very much in development. Watch this space, style of thing.

Especially the update is called squadrons and offers a completely bugged feature which just touches the possibilities we could get in the far future.

But ... as we know it already from wings to powerplay to whatever that won't happen. There won't come more. Hopefully they fix at least that little part of squadron application management. Soooooo much love. Sooooooo exciting.

Yeah, I don't really share the excitement the community managers showed on their streams. I can't say that it felt honest to me. I just drink one shot after every "exciting" and become drunken quite fast. And when the update comes life I can't say why my head hurts more - is the pain result of the alcohol or because just of utter disappointment.

Honestly ... it's not fitting together that they are so excited and still don't play the game. Or maybe it's just that simple that they are easy to excite.

Look! A leaf on the ground! How exciting! And there a stone! How exciting.

It's like some Americans I know say "awesome" to everything which is quite simple to others.
