(Suggestion) Divide the Permission to Manage Fleet Holdings Into 3 Separate Options

Hello all!

I'm new here and I haven't found any "ideas & suggestions" special thread (and I feel awfully sorry for that) yet, so I decided to post my suggestion here. I'd like to suggest that the developers make a couple of changes to the settings of fleets. I'd like to point out that I highly appreciate the present system of the settings. It's handy enough and smart but may be some little changes could improve its flexibility?

So, here is my suggestion. I'd personally like to have the permission to 1) start new projects, 2) start special "decorative" projects and 3) change the description aka "message of the day" of each holding as 3 completely separate permissions which could be chosen by any fleet leader separately from one another.

Now let me explain my situation which I'd like to use as my main argument.

I'm a founder of a fleet which is being developed very fast and effectively. It was created in May and it has already reached the 47th level. It would be pity to give up having the roster full of members (480 for now, to be exact) the half of which is pretty active. I start fleet projects alone for now because I temporarily have enough time for playing. But it's surely obvious that in a couple of months (or even in half a year or in a year, who knows, but still) the situation may change for me and our fleet will need help to keep it alive. I still will be able to run my fleet which I like VERY MUCH and in which I'm interested a lot but I don't think that someday I'll be able to play every day or even once per 2 days (which is required to start projects with an active roster in a "non stop" mode). I'd like to be sure that I can be out for a week or even a month (or several months, who knows) and still have all the projects being run.

I only have one reason why I haven't promoted anyone to the 6th fleet rank yet (members of this rank have a permission to start new projects in our fleet). The matter is that it's VERY important to me to keep the whole description of the fleet and it's look the way I personally want it to remain. But if I let any of my fleetmates start projects, they will automatically be able to 1) change the description of the holdings and 2) start special "decorative" projects (which are located at the very bottom of the list of the projects of each holding) that add new design elements thus changing the look of the interior and the exterior of the fleet holdings. For example, we have some fans of the Star Trek series in our fleet. They may want to start the project which adds the Starfleet banners to the fleet starbases. And I, as a fleet creator, would personally like these holdings to look rather neutral. But I don't want to make my fleetmates feel disappointed by telling them personally that I don't like faction banners or that I haven't started the project which removes the blast shutters at the dilithium mine yet because I personally imagine dangerous situations with the asteroids flying nearby and want the fleet holdings to look more protected :smile: .

Well, anyway, whether it will be done or not, it's an idea only and it's surely open to any possible criticism or new suggestions. My main purpose is to show this idea to the developers and draw their attention to it and I completely realize that it's up to them to decide whether they need it or not.

Thank you for your attention.

    Sorry, can this discussion be closed? This very variant, I mean. It's the copy of that posted on the 31st of August, 2023. It's a rather draft variant and, as far as I remember, this version was automatically moved to the moderators for their approval after I tried to edit it several times.

    It was the reason why I started a new discussion (new and edited variant) on the 31st of August. That discussion has already received a comment and I don't want THAT discussion to be closed. I'd just like THIS one (started on the 30th of August) to be closed.

    Edit: I've edited the version above, so now the two versions are completely the same.

    I'm awfully sorry. After this "version" moved to the moderators for their approval and I managed to create another one the next day, I thought, to be honest, that was a bug or something like that.
