Why is it not possible to fleet warp your fleet that is comprised of only corp-mates to a corp bookmark? By the logic presented in the original post this should be possible, since every individual fleet member could warp there themselves.
This change seems to hurt w-space more than anyone living in k-space, because moving around in k-space does not require scanning down signatures to find the publicly-accessible gate.
It seems to me that you're applying a blanket bandaid to try to fix the design problem of stealth bombers without actually fixing the stealth bomber problem. This is a poor design decision. Here are some better ideas that impact stealth bombers only:
- Having a bomb launcher equipped forces you to be marked exempt from fleet warps (so this change, but impacting only the targeted ship).
- Having a bomb launcher equipped reduces your warp speed by xx% (getting into position takes longer, if the fleet is moving then your warp-in could be inefficient by the time you get there).
- Having a bomb launcher equipped lowers your speed and agility (taking longer to align for a bombing run, meaning a moving enemy fleet might get out of the line of the bomb before the bombers have a chance to launch their bombs). |

As long as it applies equally to k-space, so no fleet warps to gates. |

Right, because there was a problem in w-space that needed to be solved. That's just nonsense. |

Fleet participation =/= sitting in space pretending to be a bookmark. That's not very engaging. |

Fleet participation =/= sitting in space pretending to be a bookmark. That's not very engaging. It is when you are in the middle of an enemy fleet, desperately keeping traversal up to survive.
Getting warp ins is not something new from this change. Having to have a ship sitting at a tactical in order to be able to move the fleet there is, however, and that's boring for the pilot tasked with that mundane job. |

We had a NPSI wormhole fleet a while back where we lost a ton of people along the chain because they couldn't keep up, people didn't want to sit around on the wormhole to provide the warp in for too long, etc. What happened to those people? They got left out of the content. |
