I have been reading into old ideas that have failed, thought this one may be a good one to bring back up.

Reading through alot of posts, alot of ideas are brought over from features in other games, and has been brought up numerous times other games of this genre does this or that, so should ZE etc, so lets revisit

Account sitters
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5835


Not allowed to name other games, but one I recently checked out allows this, in my opinion lets sitters go too far, move fleets etc........
However for vmode, if is to stay how it is in ZE, why not be able to use the perk of being in an alliance with friends able to just log in and hit v mode once everything was landed and productions done if you really had to go? Nothing else, solving the inability to finish lanx hit etc due to player running to hit vmode yet keeping fleets safe to those with real emergencies etc.
Perhaps an alternative to Karroths vmode Idea which would also work out good, able to hit vmode but doesnt take effect till all is down and production finished, what ever would be in ZE capability of implementing for a medium that works for all

Added relevant tag, and I fully agree with the idea. To be honest, I have had an alliance mate fleetsave for me once or twice when things came up and I couldn't make it and I know there are some players who have literally shared their account, meaning themselves and their friend/spouse played, basically keeping the account active 24/7. So I don't know why it isn't simple enough to allow full account sitting.

The only restrictions that I think should be on account sitting are;

- No missions that interact with other players planets/moons.
- No spending of resources or rubies.
- No administrative alliance actions, including leaving or joining an alliance.

It would be harder to catch advanced fleeters. Some players cannot use it.
It is wide open for exploitation.
Though some more rules and limitations between the sitter's account and the account being sat would limit the exploits.

Just one rule, all you can do is vmode for the person who had to leave but things were going. Simple as that, keep it simple
