I'm back after 2 months away from this game. I'm glad to see at least the devs fixed the group list so it states everyone's name once and not 1 person's name 3 times.
Simple things that I think would be helpful are:
1) Being allowed to give 1 other person in group a "group admin" ability so they can invite people too. I hate having to run around trying to find everyone. Having someone else able to invite would be very helpful.
2) Having the ability to kick people out of group regardless of where the person is. I hate when someone flies off to another planet then is not really part of the group anymore. I want to kick them out but the person has to be in range to do so. Let SL's kick people out no matter where the person is.
3) Having an "auto-kick from group" if a person goes LD. This is partially tied to number 2 since people go LD and then I can't kick them. And since LD's don't leave group for a long time it's either reform group or have a useless space.
4) Please let us have larger groups at master level. I hate having to shuffle people in and out when 25 people are around. 10 more slots would be great. 20 would be fantastic.
5) Fix the conflict between retreat and forcerun2/3 and also that between retreat and the burst run foods. If i make people who use either one of those retreat, they run slowwer.
That's all I got for now. This is not a thread for sweeping reforms about skill trees, new mods, new special abilites and such, this is just a thread about the little things. If you have anything to add or any comments on mine, please feel free to add them. I know I've been gone a while so there may have been changes I just didn't see yet. But I find it highly doubtful that any positive change was made.

It's like saying. Why you can't do pistol specials with carbines in the carbiner forum.

I have a question in response to point 2 and 3: I thought you could use the group member list to kick someone out regardless of range? If that's not the case, then I'm a blithering idiot 
As for point 1: How about, instead of an additional "group admin," squad leaders should be able to invite anyone regardless of range. To help reduce spam (because you KNOW someone's gonna abuse it) give the player an option to turn off "global group invites" (off by default) or make it so that the only one who recieves the invite are those who has a comlink that the squad leader gave them.
It makes sense considering that, as squad leaders, we should be able to quickly mobilize a group that will later rally at a designated point.
