Are DB quality of life improvements going to include granting greater powers for admirals?

It’s been mentioned before, but I’m seeking a definitive answer for my fleet and for some of the other admirals out there.
Building and maintaining a top fleet is a labour of love. But being unable to even designate/ remove squad leaders can be really problematic. Removing a squad leader from your fleet doesn’t even disband the squad, it literally promotes someone else within the same squad.
@shan are you aware of any specifics regarding the quality of life updates. And could you confirm whether or not Admiral’s powers are going to be looked at going forward?
Thanks

I will bring up again the request for more options for Admirals/Officers regarding Squadrons.
I'm now holding the pips to a top fleet, and suddenly find myself powerless to make some needed changes. They aren't big changes and should be part of the basic fleet admiral tools but I can't do it because right now the admiral is almost no different than the other fleet members.
Thanks for offering to raise the issue. Hoping something can be done. It would enhance the game a great deal to have more options and settings around fleet management.
But for the vast majority of fleets out there that don't have that kind of buy-in or willingness to use those other tools, additional powers for officers/admirals would be a great QoL add.

Also, please have a backup in case of mistaken fleet disbandment. I would hate to see any fleet disbanded by accident especially since so much work has been done by players to build these Starbases.

The addition of fleets and starbases is one great addition to the game that has kept players Interested and in the game playing as part of a group in competition or a sense of family.
Not to discount Mr Sanoas’ opinion, bcuz all repeatedly requested upgrades or fixes are important, but this starbase limited control system is horribly outdated and really should be on the top of the list for upgrades.
In my opinion things should get attention in the order of the product of this multiplication:
"How severe is the issue" x "How often is this issue affecting someone negatively per week" x "How many players are affected by it"
I cannot imagine that fleet topics make it to the top of the list if you look at it like that. We also had the issue with squadleadership going to someone temporarily inactive, so there was no shared crew for 1 weekend. After a while we kicked and reinvited him. I consider this rather a minor inconvenience compared to annoying stuff relevant to everyone much more often. But of course as always these are just my 2c.
Is there a known case where a fleet was disbanded by accident and could not be restored? This I would consider a real drama, but I never read of such a case.
@Bluebeard1 DB will change the fleet name for you, just have the admiral send in a ticket requesting the name change.
There is no disband button. If you leave, command gets passed to another officer.

This was never the case. Why wasnt this announced by db because @Shan told me they did not have a backup plan. And Shan is the official spokesperson
Probably the same reason why kicking a squad's leader now makes another crew the new squad leader, instead of disbanding said squad...
We found that out the hard way...
Wow, another stealth change by DB, but this time a good one.
Thx for letting us know. 👍🏻
Admirals need to see who is donating to their Starbase each day.
And to which room and also who is marking rooms for priority
And there should be an option to just block rooms from donating,
then nobody can donate to the wrong room anymore.
Only Officers or Admirals can mark rooms for priority, So if the Admiral delegates assigning the rooms they set up their priority with those Officers so they are all on the same page
This would be helpful. Especially to new fleets.
This.
I've had some officers go rogue and not listen to the officer chat and assign rooms they want done, not what's best for everyone so that's why I would like this.... Tho just blocking an entire room would also be good.
If an office is going rogue and not listening to the officer's chat and the admiral, it sounds like the admiral needs to fire that officer.
Yeah, if u can figure out who it is, which might be tough since u can t see who tags/ untags rooms.
Exactly why I'd like a log that records who marks and unmarks rooms. But in the end I basically greatly reduced the number of officers down too a few trusted people and it's been fine ever since.
Excellent idea. 👏🏻
