Standing Fleet

Standing Fleet is a form of fleet specific for each community and aims to provide better communication between pilots within the same region of space, quick response whenever a member capsuleer is in distress, and defensive force whenever the community is subjected to hostile action. Each member of the fleet can freely do their solo or group tasks such as PvE, Mining, PvP or Trading, since there is no specific purpose of the standing fleet itself, but in times of emergency, the fleet is transformed into a Quick Response Fleet to defend a fellow capsuleer, to repel any hostile entity and to defend the space and assets of the EVE University.

How to join the Standing Fleet

1. Open the Fleet window via your NeoCom (NeoCom->Social->Fleet)
2. Set the "Scope" to "My Available Fleets"
3. Set "Range" and "Min. Standing" to "Any"
4. Look for a fleet named "Standing Fleet" specific for your community such as Stacmon Standing Fleet, Null-Sec Community Standing Fleet, etc.
5. Right-click on the fleet and select "Join" or simply double-click to join the fleet (remember to drop your current fleet if you are in one).

Once you are in fleet:

1. Right-click on the four lines of the Fleet tab in the top left corner of the window and select "View as Hierarchy". If that option does not exist, you are already in hierarchy mode.
2. Find your name in the fleet hierarchy (note that your current Wing & Squad will have a Green arrow next to it).
3. Drag and drop your name in to the appropriate Wing/Squad.
4. Check the MotD (Message of the Day) of the Fleet and join the proper Mumble channel (For standing fleets it is the Community specific Mumble Channel)

Setting up a Standing Fleet

If you go looking for the Standing Fleet of your community and cannot find it, ask if there is a fleet up in Mumble or Community chat channel. If not, or you get no answer, you are advised to set up a standing fleet and then share the advert of the standing fleet in the community chat channel to inform community members about the fleet so they can join the fleet. Also note that anybody can set up the Standing Fleet. Being Fleet Boss is not the same as being Fleet Commander (FC) (Check: Standing Fleet Boss).

To set up a standing fleet please follow this procedure;

1. Open the Fleet window via your NeoCom (NeoCom->Social->Fleet)
2. Right-click on the four lines on the fleet tab and select "Form Fleet"
   • If you already have a fleet setup, you can load it by following the next steps, otherwise continue on with Step 3.
   • Open the Fleet window and click on the four lines to open the Fleet menu,
   • Select Fleet setups, then select "Standing Fleet",
   • Continue to Step 9.
3. Once the fleet is created, right-click on the four lines again and select "Set Free-Move"
4. Set up a Quick Response Wing by right-clicking on "Wing 1" and change its name to "QRF" (QRF = Quick Response Fleet)
   • Right click on the QRF wing and select "Create New Squad". Do this two times so you have 3 squads in the wing (note that there is one preset squad in the wing),
   • Right-click on "Squad 1" and change its name to "Combat" for Damage Dealer ships to join,
   • Right-click on "Squad 2" and change its name to "Logi" for Logistics ships to join,
   • Right-click on "Squad 3" and change its name to "Support" for E-WAR, Scout and other role ships to join,
5. Set up a PvP Wing by right-clicking on "Fleet" and selecting "Create New Wing"
   • Right-click on the new wing and change its name to "PvP Wing",
   • Right-click on the new wing and select "Create New Squad". Do this two times so you have 3 squads in the new wing. Again, 3 is the default/minimum. More can be added if needed.
6. Set up a PvE Wing by right-clicking on "Fleet" and selecting "Create New Wing"
   • Right-click on the new wing and change its name to "PvE",
   • Right-click on the new wing and select "Create New Squad". Do this two times so you have 3 squads in the new wing. Again, 3 is the default/minimum. More can be added if needed.
7. Set up a Mining Wing by right-clicking on "Fleet" and selecting "Create New Wing"
   • Right-click on the new wing and change its name to "Mining",
   • Right-click on the new wing and select "Create New Squad". Do this two times so you have 3 squads in the new wing. Again, 3 is the default/minimum. More can be added if needed.
8. Create a MoTD (Message of the Day) in the Fleet chat box. (To create a MoTD, click the 'cog' in the Fleet chat box. Then click 'Open channel settings window'. Set your MoTD in the pop-up box and hit OK!)
   • Example MoTD:

“

Welcome to the (your community) Standing Fleet! FREE MOVE IS ON. Please move to the relevant Squad. Rule #1: QRF wing is for QRF actions only, please keep it clear unless an FC calls for a QRF. Rule #2: If you are in space, try to be in Mumble for your own safety! Rule #3: Do not share standings with the (community) Standing Fleet. Rule #4: Feel free to ask questions in Fleet Chat or Mumble. Rule #5: Do not fly a ship that you cannot afford to lose. Rule #6: There is no Rule #6!

”

Create the Standing Fleet Advert

Example Standing Fleet settings

• Open the fleet window,
• Click on "More" (three vertical dots),
• Click on "Create Advert"
• Set the "Fleet Name" to "Community Standing Fleet",
• Check the "My Corporation" and "My Alliance" checkboxes.
• Disable "Application requires approval"
• Enable "Hide Details in Advert"
• Enable "Automatically Update Fleet Advert on Boss Change"
• Disable "Reject join requests from the advert ..."
• Select the "Submit" button.
• You can store your fleet setup for easy re-use. (Check: Storing Standing Fleet Settings)

Standing Fleet Boss

The main job of the fleet boss is to keep the standing fleet open for community members to organize themselves. They can furthermore administrate the fleet, such as curating message of the day, setting free-move and moving people in and out of Fleet/Wing command positions when asked to do so. Also, they are responsible for adding/removing new Wings and Squads as needed. The fleet boss is not "in charge" of the community, nor is he/she the "FC" of the fleet. Fleet boss is simply an administrative role.

Accepting Fleet Boss

If boss is passed to you, either as a result of you volunteering or being "ninja bossed", you will receive a notification. The Advert is usually automatically updated. Only in case Auto-update is disabled, a Fleet Advert window will pop up on your screen. In this case, verify the Advert settings are correct as specified above and select the "Submit" button. This will update the Fleet finder with the fact that you are the new boss. Save the fleet setup from the Fleet windows setting menu for future use, if you have not done this before.

Passing Fleet Boss to Another

If you are ready to leave fleet and are the current boss, you must pass the boss position to another in the fleet first. Ask for volunteers in the Fleet Chat and/or Mumble. Make every reasonable effort to pass boss to someone who is active. Once you have your volunteer, pass fleet boss to them by right-clicking their name in chat or the fleet window, followed by a left-click on "Make Boss".

Storing Standing Fleet Settings

You can store your fleet setup for easy re-use.

1. In the fleet menu, click the four lines to open the menu.
2. Click "Store Fleet Setup" option
3. Enter the name "Community Standing Fleet" (since standing fleet setups may vary for each community it is best to name your standing fleet setup after your community, such as Null-Sec Community Standing Fleet, WHC Standing Fleet, etc) and check "Include Current Free-move Setting" and "Include Message of the Day".
