Ok, we've all seen it a thousand times or more - the fleet info in the fleet screen...

But I seriously doubt anyone uses it, cuz right now it has no practical function, leaving a remark about what's the purpose of the fleet is... errr... well, not extremely necessary

I suggest that the fleet info is used to NAME the fleet. And then that name is seen in the BR

For example, right now the BR looks like this:

your fleet 2 fights against fleet 2 from ***** of ***** at xx/yy/zz

if it's implemented, it would look like this:

your fleet FLEETNAME fights against fleet FLEETNAME from ***** of ***** at xx/yy/zz

what do you guys think?

If I remember right, there was a suggestion like that before, but I cant find it.

Maybe it can be used for messages for the enemy fleet instead of giving your fleets a name.

^^LIGHTBULB!!!!^^

Well, there are several topics on it:
http://forum.spacetrace.com/viewtopic.php?topic=1080&forum=11

the *reason/use* for it is http://forum.spacetrace.com/viewtopic.php?topic=290&forum=5

and the most recent one, http://forum.spacetrace.com/viewtopic.php?topic=2421&forum=11

well, maybe if not for a whole fleet name, just for ONE word?

Like "base" definest the base fleet?
and maybe "nasty fleet", "smart fleet", "brutal fleet"... etc?

There HAS to be some other use than to store coords/a-codes in it...

o o o You just reminded me of my idea.
Ya know when ya want sweeet sweet revenge. And you go to your comlist to find the coords of the guy ya wanna kill.
Well i h8 havin to copy the first 3 numbers of the cooords.
And havin to remember the other 2 numbers.
Because ya know the way there are three boxes on the fleet menu.
Why not make it one box so you can just copy the coordinates and paste them into the fleet screen.
Btw i really like this idea.
