#Remove the FC advanced skill Fleet Admiral and just make all FC auras affect capships by default.

The need for such an ability tied to an advanced skill arose back when cap ship bots were OP due to 3-aug PBFs existing and bank bots in general being really badass.  Neither are true now so it's probably time for FC auras affecting capships to just be a normal part of FC auras.

At the moment, oddly, gunners seem to be suffering the most from this. Given most decent FCs nowadays have moved on to LF or HF bots, most dont take Fleet Admiral now and in many of our groups gunners are the only ones who dont get aura benefits anymore.  yes we could technically just throw a low level mc'd FC on the squad with Fleet Admiral, but that misses the larger point.  Thanks for reading.

Hey Dread - merging Fleet Admiral into the class is currently planned as part of the next major release is currently planned along with a refresh on it's adv skills.

On a related note, certain classes do have a strictly mandatory subskill tax just to function at all. When's the last time you saw an engi spec with no droney, for example?

We're going to reevaluate the adv class subskills to try to eliminate the need for any of them to be mandatory.

Would that mean, in the case of engineer, we will lose the extra drone? I figure there won't be an edv skill to replace it dps wise, so the class will just lose a bit of dps?
