I see no purpose for this button and was wondering why it was there. Not only that, but why is it so close to the previous page button. Also why isn't there some sort of safety, like clicking a box to confirm? I bet more people have selected that button accidentally than on purpose.

Indeed I agree, at least a confirmation. I have done it accidently once and had it done once to me as well *glares at sarparto*

Never noticed, myself. But it sounds a little perilous.

I'll watch out for that.

Why don't you just get a better commander?

Oh wait... lol

Seriously this isn't that big a deal for anyone else.

I tried, but no one wants me. :P

Seriously, though, what constructive purpose does it have? There is no reason, in my mind, that that button should exist. Especially so close to the previous page button.

It's like abandoning a planet, not many people with good planets (or raid/farm lists) wish to abandon (or reset), however it is substantial where it needs to have a confirm button.

Can you tell me what productive purpose it serves? Who in their right mind would want to set their officers relations to nuetral, besides **Filtered** and the incompetent?

Commander ending a war when all their officers were involved.

I personally don't see alot of use in neutral, not like war or peace, but its a package deal I think.

Thank you for your response. What if those officers had farm's, or good raid targets? They would lose them because of their CO. I understand the reason you came up with, but still feel it's an unneccessary option that gives the CO an unneccessary amount of power over their officers.

I can't say I don't agree with you.

But a good commander would know and understand these things. I dont like the loopholes created in the multiple relations settings, and do wish jason would address them
