Senior Game Designer Zeke Sparkes and Producer Daniel Stahl walk us through "Fleet Actions" in this latest trailer available over at IGN.
Fleet Actions are basically large scale events taking place in specific sectors of the universe that players are alerted to as needing attention as they travel through space. These events span multiple tiers and will require the cooperation of numerous captains to succeed. This might be a stretch, but think Champions Online "Open Missions" or Warhammer Online "Public Quests" in space.
