This hasn't really been a problem for us here but I think it would be a neat feature and might make things easier...

We can give players rank to re-assign and even modify corp ships, but with combat ships re-assigning stops the timer if a player is on a com mission.

I propose a 'combat lock' that the corp leader can set on a ship so that if someone tries to re-assign the ship they will instead get an alert saying the ship is engaged in combat. The leader could of course turn it off in case it's an emergency or something.

I guess if you use the ship for combat it should maybe give a warning to the member re-assigning the new captain...

But if there will be a lock, it has to be completely at the ship commissioner control. So a warning on confirmation is kind of the same thing. Will check it out.

Yeah a warning would be fine so long as the corp leader can over-ride it if he needs to.

There are a lot of suggestions that need better attention than this. 1

Yes but this is one that might be pretty easy to do in a week or so. It might even be easier to just have an option to lock the (re-)assignment, and/or (re-)configuration of corp ships.

I think having a number of quicker/small updates like this will encourage players to stay as the game is changing constantly.

These smaller updates will be included in the spare time left while doing the ingame Pledge system projects, so please feel free to suggest.

It could be included in a project related to corporations, we have one being defined now something like this:
http://forum.astro-galaxy.com/index.php/topic,8700.0.html

Added it to "Related / other / if time permits" in the project.
