I was thinking the other day about when there will be guild owned stations, capships,

and npcs. when this happens fights could get alot bigger, probably bigger than border

skirmish.and in border skirmish I often see a small fighter attacking another ship that

it almost certainly cant kill all by itself. so I was thinking why not give high ranking

guild members the ability to give bots and players commands during large battle.

they could be in a capship they choose as their flagship and see a map of that sector

showing all the ships in it used for selecting ships to give commands to. a bit like

the game drop team

that lets you give orders during combat if youre the commander of your team.

Actually, we're working towards that sort of goal, in the long term. Hopefull a kind of Homeworld-ish interface for it.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. We were just talking about this, actually, in this shameless plug of my own post. Even mentioned Homeworld and Ender's Game as models for the interface. I can't wait for this feature.

Please note the words "long term", I don't want to mislead anyone that this is right around the corner. But it is part of our direction.

Please note, Inc even didn't mention Soon(tm)

So this is really in the long long term

as long as it happens eventualy im super extra excited with a side of oh my god i cant wait

Longterm or no, that this game is headed in that said direction fills me with a quite giddy anticipation so succinctly emblazoned by the acronym "OMG OMG OMG OMG..."
