I was thinking of some ways to allow a fleet to be more useful in-game. Since PvP is so limited, and you're only in itm if you choose to be. (no random attacks/PvP throughout the maps) We needed other ways to make being part of a fleet useful, and to help increase activity of fleets in general.
For one, players that are interested in a team arent always able to find one to do missions with. So often times its either wait around or attempt said mission solo. Which often times makes the missions extremely boring and tedious to do. Often feel very repetitive.
It would be nice whether it be ground combat or space combat. That a player belong to a fleet can 'Request Fleet Reinforcements" Once a player requests this "which can be done during combat" Would then send a onscreen request out to online fleet members within the same rank, or if say for example Player is only LC grade 3, then a fleet member up to 5 grades below could also come help.
And those online fleet members could choose to respond to the distress/call for re enforcements. They'd transwarp to the persons location or whatever. The players helping wouldnt get rewarded with completing the mission or anything, but maybe like PvP they could earn credits for helping fellow fleet players.
maybe apply some sort of time limit friendly responding fleet members can help during the mission. Limit the amount of times a player can call for fleet help. Or even create certain critieria that a player must have to even be allow to call for help. (ship level shields, number or strength of enemy ships, how long players been in combat with single group of enemies etc)
And even if the player say is in a group with 2 others (total 3 in team) it would allow a call for help to get 3 additional fleet ships to help.
I just think something like this would increase fleet activity and help those who wish to quest with a team but often can find anyone and are forced to go solo.
Just an idea - i think it be pretty freakin sweet!
