Recognized Fleet Permissions

[MacThule]

Fleet permissions are needed.

Please allow fleet creators/owners to set permissions for ALL faction ranks AND allies.

• If I send a fighter squadron to back up an ally, It would be best if I could actually order the fleet to follow commands from allies

• I want my whole faction to be able to use the mining fleet.

• I want to restrict any fleets with large, expensive capitals to faction rank 2 and above so a stupid recruit doesn't fly it into a star.

I can see the need of this but how would that ally receive the backup you sent?

1. I spawn in 10 heavy fighters.
2. I fleet them.
3. I set permission for allies to give commands and now my allies can see the fleet on their fleet command console and issue it orders.

It's like when I save a ship to Catalog, then check the OTHERS checkbox and now everyone can see my BP in the Catalog and buy a copy.

Yeah this is a feature I would really like.

lol glad I wasn't the only one thinking of something like this.

Glad you all like the idea :D

I'm sure it was a febreze to come up with. It would fit in really well with the other mechanics in the game. I'm honestly surprised it wasn't implemented with it's release.

Makes sense. We will probably be looking at this when we focus on faction and fleet stuff and merging the two systems, part of our plans anyway.

Thanks for looking.
I'm just spitballing stuff for exactly that reason; when you get to a place where it's relevant, you have a whole pile of options to work with. Trying to keep codability in mind throughout.
