A vote to let fleet boss go to the next person in the chain of command sounds like the best solution to me to deal with AFK fleet bosses.
It’s a regular problem and this could solve it without all the confusion that comes with a second fleet to replace the AFK fleet boss.
(Do give the vote a cooldown though, we wouldn’t want a fleet to be able to vote all through the chain of command in a minute.)
Do explain how fleets don’t work if the boss is gone?
Because other than warping all 5 wings at once, changing options, and adjusting the fleet advert, they don’t have a whole lot more control over a wing than the person who takes the Wing Commander position.
Why can’t you just organize your op fleet under a wing you have command of within the standing fleet?
Example of how an AFK fleet boss can cause issues:
"Why is this hostile player in the fleet?"
“The fleet boss has included personal standings”
“Please fix that, fleet boss”
“No response, because AFK”
→ the alliance now needs to make a second standing fleet, causing confusion for hours while the old faulty fleet is up too
Other examples include a missing advert, a wrong ‘free move’ fleet setting, the inability to have someone check ship types and probably more.
It would be nice to have an option to deal better with AFK fleet bosses.
Why does boss being AFK cause issues?
