    Only number 1 is a problem. Fleet of 5 top players (or even nightmare mk6s or 7s at 4000~5000) will be a one sided match. Fleet of 5 whales at any level would be unbalanced. The only way I’d like to see this is a separate game mode

    Yes they might just not fleet if they’re the in the top 10 because they’re not supposed to be fleeting in the first place. Otherwise, people will just fleet with more suitable partners. Just like it is with 2 player fleets now.

    According to what you say then 2 player fleet will have the same problem. But it does not.
    No, it won’t be a one sided match. The matchmaking won’t give you a match unless it’s relatively fair. 5 Nightmare mk6s fleeting won’t get a match unless it’s against something fair. If there isn’t a fair match found, they will just have to keep waiting in queue. Just like 2 player fleets.

    Precisely. 5 Titans matching against five dwarves? Wont happen. Huge matchmaking times will kill these fleets.

    exactly! what's the point of 5 player fleets if the waiting times will make nobody use it?
    and guild quests... the problems people have with using ships they suck at for guild quests will be multiplyed x5. Fleets of 3 are the most I ever want.

    If they added 5 players fleet it should be under the meaning of being in the same match
    So they will be in the same match but separated randomly by the balance of ship MK
    And also reducing the ability to fleet for infamy and ship difference

    2 man fleets do fine with solo players, but couldn't this issue of bigger fleets be solved by pitting the fleet against another equal sized fleet? 3-5 man fleets up against other 3-5 man fleets, empty spaces can be filled with solo players and 2 man fleets. Sure, it'd make the wait time longer, but it'd be worth the wait.

    No, it's fair cuz they all have to cooperate. And that's always a challenge

    Ha, nice way to point out the elephant in the room everyone forgets about. ;)

    Right now you can fleet within 800 infamy. If you are allowed to fleet with 3 or 4 how about tightening that infamy range to within 400 or 200? At that point putting together an OP should be impossible unless infamy is broken. Oh wait...
