I agree with everything you said in OP. But as someone mentioned in one of the posts above this if companies have all these functions (which i highly doubt given their current track record on this game) then there is not much need for linkshells at all. I really cant see many people ever equiping a linkshell again if companies offer the same communication but with more features. Which makes me think that companies dont operate in the same way as a linkshell. So i believe its best that we get these features added to linkshells asap.
