With several new merits focused on traveling and the increasing need for travel we need the following additions:
  • City Map View - Make this view only. Can be an added feature to Laptop or a points purchase requirement like stock ticket and bazaar
  • Faction Leadership Functionality - Faction leaders/co leaders are so restricted on travel that due to the lack of access to faction leadership functionality that it makes it almost impossible to travel because something will inevitably need to be done perm adjustment, application management, armory access, NAPs, walls, territory war, raid, etc. Make faction leadership great again by giving leaders and co leaders additional faction access during travel. The leadership functionality will need to be limited to avoid finding loopholes. Potential allowances: Accept/decline apps, change leadership roles, edit perms, view faction balances (do not allow deposit/withdraw to preserve current travel system), view armory, view members, send newsletter, change announcement (there are so many basic things that will be handy to efficiently running a faction while traveling)
  • Manage Existing Item and Property Listing - since the items are already listed on the marketplace or estate agent the listers should be able to access them from the laptop to manage existing items listings and properties (remove listing, change price). Once an item or property is removed from listing it cannot be relisted until returned to torn

Updates might have a better chance if we focus on requesting the info pages first, then talk about functional things?

(Meh, who am I kidding. He hates travel, I’m continually shocked when new travel merits keep coming out. xD)

Seriously though... Why in the world are info pages like company or faction info blocked? (the external views should be available via laptop)

All I can come up with it that they don’t have the capability to granularly filter out parts of a page :/

I can understand not wanting to devote the resources towards that when more focal points of the game are in dire need of revamping :/

Any php/web experts that can chime in with how they could filter out only certain portions? Might help the chances here :)

I agree, there are a lot of variations of the suggested changes that can take place. It does not make sense that we are unable to view basic information.

Faction leader visibility is a huge piece on it's own. Essentially, right now the sentiment feels like, "Welcome to faction leadership, you are now unable to travel and still have any insight or functionality of running your faction! Good Luck!"

I could be entirely wrong on this (so please correct me if I am), but I believe there is a lot more functionality than there used to be "back in the day."

This is coming from someone who travels all day, I don't think we want to make traveling too convenient. It's easy money and if you make it even easier, everyone would do it and there will be constant sellout of precious inventory.
