{{~~update|Ascension updates totally changed fleet boosting and leadership skills.~~}}

While not strictly required in order to form a fleet leadership skills are highly desirable for improving the capabilities of the fleet. Appropriate skills are required to enable the passing down of boosts (whether passive or active) to fleet members lower down in the hierarchy. While pilots without the appropriate skills can still sit in leadership positions their lack of skills will block the passing down of any available boosts.

There is one important position that does not appear in the leadership hierarchy, that of fleet 'boss'. While the name may imply some form of leadership position, the role is purely administrative. It is entirely possible for the FC and fleet boss to be the same person, with the default fleet boss being the person who originally created the fleet. The fleet boss is the only person who can promote people to Wing Commander and Fleet Commander positions (people cannot self-promote like for Squad Commander), edit the fleet's message of the day (MOTD), or post an advert for the fleet in the fleet finder.

== Providing boosts to a fleet ==

All ~~levels~~ of boosts ~~(fleet/wing/squad)~~ can be provided by any member ~~of the appropriate part~~ of the fleet, not just by the people holding the leadership positions. ~~This is because, although the boosting and leadership positions~~ are ~~by default held by the same pilot~~, ~~the booster role can be reassigned to any member of the relevant part~~ of the fleet~~. This reassignment can be done by either the fleet boss or the holder of the relevant leadership~~ position~~, superior leadership positions can also reassign the boosting roles for component elements of the part~~ of the ~~fleet they are passing boosts down to (i.e. the wing commander can reassign both the wing and squad boosters).~~

All types of boosts can be provided by any member of the fleet, not just by the people holding the leadership positions. Command bursts are effective on all ships within their area of effect, regardless of the fleet position of the source ship's pilot.

~~Especially when first setting up the boost and leadership positions it is common for the available boosts to not be properly distributed to fleet members unless the boosts are~~ 'reset' correctly. This is straightforward and involves first revoking all boosting position and then reassigning them in a top-down manner (first fleet booster, then wing boosters, then squad boosters).

Separating the boosting roles from leadership positions can be especially useful when warfare link boosts are being provided by off-grid boosters, as warfare links are deactivated whenever the ship using them enters warp. Separate boosting and leadership positions can enable the safe use of fleet/wing/squad warps without accidentally taking the booster along and thus deactivating the links.
