Re: Improve Military Leader Powers
Tao no one said that only the Leader would have all the powers. Just that the leader would have them all, while continuing to have officers. Sort of a redundancy system.
The point is so that when the Leader is on, they have a full grasp of what is going on in their ally. And officers are there to provide support, or to be delegated to as the case may be. There would still be an MO/CO to handle their respective duties, but it simply makes sense that the Leader should be able to see, at a glance, what the ally is doing. Period.
If the leader is not online, and officers are, then you haven't lost anything as the Officers can still see refresh times, MO can deal with incoming/outgoing and CO handles ally comms. Seems fairly simple to me... Officers are still plenty useful to a smart Leader.

Why should a leader be able to see all this anyway? is there anything the leader cant know without these powers?
a well organised alliance knows which members are attacking who, wheter the leader is online or not.
The leader should be able to see that for the above stated reasons. As far as I remember, leaders cannot send out Ally Mails, or check the outgoings at a glance. The Ally mails isn't a big issue as you *can* just c/p the Ally ID list, but it's a helluva lot easier just to click the Mass Mail Button. Same with outgoing, sure you can all haev your attack thread (either general attacks or a specific outgoing thread for an ally attack) but then it's much *much* easier if the leader can just click the Mil Outgoings and see, at a single glance, the eta and targets of every mob of every member of his alliance. If you don't see the difference there between having that ability and not having that ability then i'll gladly pay for your Optometry appointment and your bottlecap prescription glasses.

MO and CO have been here since the start of bushtarion, MO and CO are respected positions within an alliance, you can't remove or change these imo.
Probably the worst reason *ever* not to change anything. The manual hasn't been changed in ages, so i'm assuming we shouldn't remove or change anything in it? The old bounty system worked and then we went ahead and changed it and now it's unusable. I dunno, i could think of a million different examples on both sides of the fence to argue for change and against change. This one makes sense however.
