Crew Sharing Mechanic

It's been forever and a day since I actually led a squad, but I'm doing it for this upcoming event....

I know it was a long-standing problem that you couldn't set Shared Crew until the event actually started, which is really unreasonable for a variety of reasons.... but I could have sworn that we had gotten a QoL update that addressed some of the time zone issues, and that pre-setting Shared Crew was one of them (along with how Fleet Rewards are collected).

I'm not seeing any such option. I might have imagined it. If I did, I apologize for my ignorance.

But if I did, I also hereby propose that this is a really easy thing that DB should fix really soon so that squad leaders don't have to disrupt their work day or sleep schedules just to make sure things are fair for all. A simple 12 hour window to pre-set the shared crew is all it would take. There's no way for the Naughty Fleets to exploit something like that, is there?

    I've never seen such a thing, but it would be nice to be able to set it. I am often unavailable at the exact start myself.

    That said, I doubt if they currently have an easy way to set it without that crew prematurely becoming available to your squad. I'm not a savvy enough programmer to know what kind of changes that would take, though.

    Have you posted this idea in "Make It So"?
  • Don't know about the programming, but from a UI perspective, you can set the shared crew until you physically open the even. The crew sharing screen currently sits on the event screen.

    Conceptually, they could add it to either the event splash screen or the squad screen, but both would be somwhat hokey.

    Also how about adding a shared crew from the Admiral.

    It would honestly be nice to just share a single crew with the squad all the time instead of just during Faction events.
