The upcoming Command Suits would couple well with a system like this.

Second topic regarding squad leaders. This time about how to incentive players in staying as a group.

The idea is pretty simple. Have the squad leader act as a permanent objective. Meaning that any action done nearby the squad leader would give a WP bonus. Here's the perks :

=> Pushes players, especially randoms, in staying together even if for a selfish reason.
=> Avoids, for more organized teams, always having to select a dude when the pack is moving so people can get bonuses.
=> A squad can thus have two objectives. Squad leader himself and another specific order given by him.

Now, whether or not this "squad leader objective" should give back commissions to the Squad Leader is a question i didnt manage to answer correctly. Might make OBs too frequent, or make the SL role a real WP machine. But i think the overall idea could help provide some more teamplay in the player base, especially for casuals and noobies.

Yes, very much so. They're called crusader suits now, so I'm guessing they will be Amarr and shiny gold.

If it's going to be Amarr then no doubt it's going to be eye candy.

It'd be neat if these Crusader suits had area effect bonuses. Like increased shield recharge rate, armor hit point amount, or increased scan radius for scouting parties. To avoid stacking, these effects would only be active if the wearer is squad commander and one would have effects cut in half if area effects from two squad commanders cross each other.
