The EVE Fleet mechanic is a very good mechanic for getting players together. It would be nice to have something very similar in DUST 514.
The ability to search for Platoons, similar to searching for advertised fleets in EVE. This would include the ability to choose to advertise to just your corp, or your alliance, and even open to those of a set standing level.
This would be much better than having to hand invite each member as you go. This often slows down game play, and could easily be set by the Squad/Platoon/Company leader once and allow member to come and go as spaces are available.
A Platoon under the current 16vs16 could be a group of 4 squads all together under a Platoon, or some such similar name. This can of course expand as I hope the player count expands per match.
Skills for Squad Leader and Platoon leader, similar to the skills in EVE, would be really useful as well. Maybe eventually leading to DUST Companies, a group of 4 or 5 Platoons fighting together with leaders for each size of mercs. This is of course a less important and optional part of the request. |

That's a great idea Sam, but I see pub matches becoming unbelievably bad. For example if we make a platoon full of people of a certain level and join a pub match, the reds are going to get simply stomped unless they have a platoon aswell. In my opinion, there should be a different matchmaking system for platoons, so that it only makes you go up against other platoons. Think of it as a random corp match.  |

I like this very much. You could than have different Skills for Infantry or vehicle leaders so your Corp can establish specialized squads. |

Allowing a corp to completely stack one side of an Instant Battle would be an incredibly bad idea. CCP probably shouldn't make changes to the game that would cause new players who aren't in a corp and have no contacts to fight with get frustrated after being redlined and camped by entire enemy teams of organized players versus their gaggle of random people.
That said, something that let's you match your platoon against a random enemy platoon would be okay. Not so formal as contracts, but an Instant Battle matchmaker for organized teams. That'd be fun. |

This is not about instant battle. It is about a game mechanic. The game will not relly on Instant battle forever. That will just be for High sec battles.
EVE fleet mechanics are a big part of EVE, and I would like something similar in DUST 514.
There was talk of something like this at the last fanfest. It sounded like a type of contract mechanic at the time. |

Yes, it will rely on Instant Battle forever. Other stuff will punctuate the corp battles or whatever, but most players will only ever be involved in Instant Battle stuff. |
