With Open Beta around the corner, it would be great if the DEV's could allow us to create larger squads. I know we have been QQ ing over it for the last few months. But with the amount of players coming in, 4 player squads wont be very useful. You would have to create a lot squads per CORP to put one experienced player to teach 3 newbies. This wont go very well for the experienced player if he wants develop his own SP, ISK, KDR and so on... |

I've had a five man squad and it was marked as 5 people, the main thing is most likely OB's because this would cause more power to 1 person |

Thats true about OB's, may be they can double or triple the requirements fro OB's in that case. Depends on the size of the squad of course. We reached 3 OB's with 3 players multiple times. |

The 5 man squad is a bug that CCP is aware of in the current build. That said, I'd like a larger squad. 6 is the ideal to me. |

Maybe once (If ever) we get more players allowed on one match, I'd also like to see squad leaders use the abilities given to them. |

I agree with 6 player squad too. Its ideal for the team size at the moment. 8 player squad in the future. |

the problem is not with the squad size but in the grouping of squad... squad of 4 is ok... IF you can group squad together |

I also like 6 players....
Also along with that, it would be great if CCP could please take into consideration with the new release of an option "add to squad" box when clicking on a players name in the corp menu. This way we don't have to wait forever for the contact list to load if all we want to invite is our corp members who are online at that time. If we want to invite others that are not in our corp list that we can pull up the contact list.

I'm down for that too, as long as we can get our players to play together. |

i do not feel the squad sizes should change for open beta. larger squads make it easier to determine the outcome of a match in pubs and thus ,the new players may get turned-off rather quickly when they get dominated so frequently.
I want and am all for larger squads and allowing multiple squads to join together, I just think it is a few months off. |

If anything they might add in the leadership skill like they have in EVE. Each level would let you add 2 more members to a squadron.
I will never understand why people want more than 4 guys in pub games. I could understand a corp match but why make pub games that much more easy and boring? Oh well. CCP did say they are looking into bigger squad sizes though. |

I agree with the newbie expect of it. Most of our players get cheesed off and leave because they cant play together. From the FPS perspective of it, its very important. If every one is playing in small groups in different games, larger clans loose that sense of teamwork and lack the interest. With the use of UVT for CORP chat, that sense of being part of a crew is missing too. Not everyone can afford a UVT or willing to pay AUR on BETA. Most of the older FPS crews end up chatting and having fun in the que, while fixing loadouts and discussing issues. I'm saying 2 hours of shooting and atleast 45 mins of chatting. That sense of clan/community is limited in Dust.
They can have proper matchmaking and fix the newbie/team balance issues. |

I can't see the squad sizes being increased until the player count is as well. If they can get 48 players up and running then I think you should be able to make squad sizes of 6. The problem right now is that 16 isn't divisible by 6, so you'd be more likely to end up with uneven squad sizes (of course this can still happen now but having 6 man squads with the current player count, it would happen more frequently). |

The dev blog says:-
Quote:DUST mercenaries can accept contracts offered by the NPC Faction Warfare miltias and fight to attack or defend them in the form of corporation battles
This (presumably) means you can have multiple squads accept the same contract to join the same battle, and as you'll already have chosen a side (one of the militias) those squads should be on the same side.
Up until now on SiSi CCP have been forcing us into the battles they want us in, because the #1 priority was for them to get data about the testing. With the move to TQ, and then the open beta, the priority changes to the players (us) having fun. |

Well thats for CORP battles or Contracts for now. Not exactly talking about that are we? Can you take two squads to an Ambush or Skirmish? other than pure luck? |

Not currently but what I think he was saying is that we will be able to in the future.
Also, afaik, we are just thrown into random ambush/skirmish matches. In the future, we will be able to see a list of 'contracts' from NPC corporations and choose to fight for one of them...thus if we are communicating with another squad, we can simultaneously accept the same contract and play together.

Really Looking forward to it... We have a lot of players coming in. Win or loose, we'd like to go through it together. |

I used to think that we needed bigger squads but after talking about it with a few corp mates, It occurred to me that this would be bad for the game because a squad of 8 PFBHz or 8 Impp's or another good corp would turn the game to an instant redline. thus making new players rage quit and the game to die. |

Thats true, But 4 good squads on each side would make the game extremely interesting.... |

The inability of a corporation to deploy as a unit, squad size being irrelevent, is quite frankly, unacceptable!
This issue MUST be addressed. It is beyond frustrating. |
