'''Do not ask in Alliance or Chat.E-UNI if there is a fleet being formed.''' <br> If you want to know if a fleet is currently being formed, and what roles are currently being called for, ask in corp chat only if you suspect a fleet is forming. You may not ask if there are any fleets currently out.

'''Forming a fleet can take awhile.''' <br> Usually around 15 to 30 minutes depending on how well organized the command is. The FC needs to figure out how to set up his wings and squads, and make sure the entire fleet gets gang bonuses, and that all his squad leaders know their responsibilities, send out scouts and analyze reports.

'''The Fleet Commander will ask for different roles in the ''Alliance Channel''.''' <br> He'll probably start with Wing Commanders, Squadron Commanders, and Scouts. If you're a rookie, forget about filling any of those roles. Fleet Commanders all have their own way of doing invites, most will ask to X up. This means you get to type "X Role Hull" when he asks for the role you want to fill.

'''You should keep the Squad and Fleet channel windows separate so you can watch both without tabbing.''' <br> You can separate them by clicking the tab and dragging it off. If you wish to watch local during the op, you might want to drag it off in another window as well, tabbing to local will inevitably result in rookie unistas typing in local by accident, which is disgraceful and an embarrassment to the Uni.
