Fleet Administration on Consoles

Any thoughts of keeping track of fleet member activity on console? Since we don't have a way to enter officer notes, and there isn't a "this member last logged in on..." My fleet has a Facebook page, but not everyone uses Facebook.

Also, is there these options on PC? If so, do you think there is a chance these options will come to console?

    Pc version has a LOT more options availlable, when you are in the fleet roster you can click on the "comments" tab and a drop down box appears, Join date, last promotion date, overall contributions (YES A TOTAL OF ALL CONTRIBS OF THAT TOON), members comment, officers comment. also when hovering over a fleet members name you can see the "last online date"

    I hope they put the same options soon availlable on the XB1/PS4 versions because running a fleet without these tools is almost like going crazy (the bigger the fleet the crazyer, lol).

    Most important for the time being is that the fleet projects are running and fleet members can work to upgrade the fleet starbases :-)

    Running my own fleet on pc since 2,5 years gives me the chance to compare both versions.

    Yeah, I would love just to have the officer comments to be honest - everything else would be like having cake and eating too. Basically, we've resolved to send out a fleet mail and ask for replies (figure we will give a week or so) then have a mini purge - we are sitting at around 350 members, so it's not too big of a deal, but we don't want to hit cap without the tools in place to figure out who is active or not. Fleet holdings wise we are doing well - but only fleet level 10, so we still haven't had projects that take days or longer to fill to give everyone a chance to donate, etc.

    So, hopefully officer comments at the very least will come (that's all we have in Neverwinter anyways)

    You should have the 500 limit on Consoles. I run 2 fleets on the PC with both accepting casual players and I don't kick anyone unless I really need the space. You'll find that people who play casually and go inactive will generally return after a while, and it's good that they still have a fleet to return to.

    Yes, 500 is the limit - our plan is not to start another fleet, at least not in the near future. This is also console, where typically people will leave and not come back, at least not as often as maybe on PC. The problem isn't having too many members though, the issue is there are no administrative tools whatsoever in place on the console versions of the game.
