I suggest a new teir of leadership between the Theatre Commander and the Squad leader. It would be called a Regiment, Batallion, or Platoon Leader.

So your handing out killstreaks you wont have to earn to leaders? why not just have a team full of people with mics to work together

whever thinks there's a strategy system in EVE other than "Blob the snot out of each other till someone is left in a puddle of goo" is out of their mind.

That's a great idea, but there needs to be more unity at the squad level. ATM the issue that seems to be letting people drift off on their own is the recent tank nerf, which allows swarmers to go off solo to hunt tanks and AVs without any real support. What we need to do is this:

==================
This whole post is more or less the same you dumped into my thread about increasing missile speed to push your idea of shooting down the already slow missiles with blaster turrents.

[b]1. Give tanks the ability to shoot down swarm missiles with blaster turrets on the tanks

The fact you even thought of this shows just how slow swarm missiles are now and why ccp needs to speed them up. And instead of a swarm of missiles it should be just one missile that packs the same punch as the swarm does.

If you can't shoot them down now (and I know you can't) since its outside of the game mechanics, then your going to need a skill that allows the blaster to do air bursts to use splash damage to blow them up in flight. That leads to a mode selection for airburst or a different ammo to achieve this, which would have to be changed into to shoot at the missiles already coming at you, then switch back to the ammo that you shoot at the hav, lav or infantry.

as said MMC commanders will hopefully be giving out orders/intel to squads on the ground.

There will likely be some leadership skills (as they exist already in EVE). I think they will probably take the place for any need of specialized leadership dropsuits. I'm hoping there will be some leadership skills that give a bonus to squad members (or all team member within a certain range).

There will hopefully be some sort of ranking system within a corporation to determine roles on the battlefield (not the same ranks within corp management). So you could have x number of members designated as MCC commanders and they would get priority for that role in a battle (rather than setting all of that up each match). Same for squad leaders.

It certainly is an area that needs to be discussed. Right now there is no real communication during matches. A lot of work needs to happen before the outcome of a match feel like more than a dice roll.

While I'm not fussed how they do it, there needs to be a hierarchy on the battlefield FOR NOOBS. Corps will fix this stuff themselves eventually, but noobs need a guiding hand maybe.

There certainly needs to be a hierarchy for communication. Having 24 people on mic in FPS = rabble rabble rabble.

The mechanism needs to be in place for the corp's to use, but I don't see a need to build it for High Sec.

By definition random players won't be an organized army and they won't know what to do with the infrastructure for complex organization. Corp players won't require special incentive to follow the plan of battle, and randoms will most likely ignore them anyway.

I think the squad level is about as complex as High Sec can use.

It's all the more incentive for new players to join a corporation.

Well yeah, but they are fighting in space, where the dude with the best gear (and the one who knows how to use it) wins.

That is quite incorrect sir. You can have 6 x frigates at 50M isk each take out a 3B isk battleship easily. At the highest level, EVE takes far far more planning (try moving an alliance across the whole galaxy in 2 days, just for an example) and tactics (tried to coordinate 4 different fleet types in one system?) than any FPS.

50m isk frigates? No need for faction frigates......just get some people together in tech 1 frigates and do it.
