[Vanguards Suggestion] Allow players to be a part of multiple squadrons

[Uthael]

Implementing Squadron Perks will make things more complicated. If only a couple can be active at a time, players will want to swap squadrons just to maximize their perk usage.
Make them all unlockable in the same squadron. Even if the more you have the more they cost.

Also, allow for the same squadron to control multiple carriers.

Some communities want to be very tight and independent of others. For squadrons that don't, there could be coalitions.

what would be the point? you can wing and share everything without needing to be in a squadron at all??? so what would be the benefit? nothing. waste of time.

Squadron / vanguard new missions, or tasks, with long duration and so on, etc. that could pave the way to several new potential features.

Buf from you messages looks like everything that is not your A, is B and B = waste of time, lol (aren't videogames a waste of time by definition?).

ok, so squadron 1 doesn't like squadron 2, squadron 1 sends scout to spy on squadron 2, squadron 1 ruins squadron 2's colonization, bgs, and other plans.. perfect "approach"

Like madmongoose said, squadron 2 should vet their affiliates better. Also they can keep their super secret bgs plans on "full members only" level. Give the affiliates more general info.

Rather than only allowing commanders to be a part of a single squadron, there are several groups, like the Pilot's Trade Network, the various colonization initiatives, AXI, deep space expeditions, Powerplay associations etc. that often have coalitions of supporting squadrons, that require players to coordinate outside of the game using discord. It would be nice if, with the new Vanguards feature, these broader associations could be enabled, as simple as allowing players to be a part of more than one squadron at a time.

Eve Online, World of Warcraft etc, most MMOs allow a player to be a member of only 1 guild at a time. The reason is being a member of multiple makes it easier to exploit the system. A broader association is called an Alliance in Eve Online. An Alliance consists if multiple player groups with common goals. So what ED needs is an Alliance system. Improved in-game coordination requires a better chat system with custom rooms.
