Rumors and Dreams

Begin Log: 0603.10Sometimes the rumor mill is in full motion and finding any facts to back up intel is hard to find. Talk of Capital Ships taking orders from Commanders, maybe having a rank of Fleet Admiral. This led to ships managed by Squadrons and of rank permissions for controlling or directing a fleet. That would indeed be something that I would like to do for added support when dealing with griefers. I can take them 1 on 1 but generally there are always more than 3, sometimes more than 5 at once. If I could call in a Capital Ship for assistance while the rest of my squadron is free to run or fight, it would level the playing field a lot since all the new commanders wont be fully engineered or have access to ships that can hold there own for some time.
However I have found nothing to confirm changes are coming, only to wait and see what the coming announcements will be. Given though that the Fleet Carriers are coming and that the Admiral Rank is supposed to have the responsibility to command a fleet, this should be an update worth having or at least some extra system security to jump in like at stations.
There is a thought though, what about making your own security ships. Ether buy them or contract with them for the fleet carrier. Having your own ships that you can designate as your Fleet Security. We can already hire pilots for our fighters, should be easy enough to do the same, only launch them all instead of just one. Have it as an upgrade feature to buy for fleet carriers. Better weapons, better security, lower cost of travel. If none of that though I like the idea of contracting them. Make it the same price as starting a squadron, 10 million. It could make your fleet carrier a mobile base for a faction, or squadron. So many possibilities.
