==== Fleet advertisement | === Using Watchlist === | ||
Using the watchlist is essential for both FC and Logi roles. Make it a habit to remind players to set up their watchlist, and take a moment to explain how if someone hasn’t done it before. When a new pilot joins the fleet, remind everyone to “update their watchlists” to help prevent unnecessary ship losses. | |||
=== Using fleet warp === | |||
This step is optional, but worth considering. After shooting 3 haulers on the raid mission, our friendly Badger pilot needs to turn in loot to the NPC freighter. This is an ideal moment to link in fleetchat the next destination and have everyobody align pre-aligning to the “exit” gate to prepare for initiating the fleet warp. Doing this can help prevent premature warp-outs. | |||

=== Folding a fleet === | |||
Lead your fleet back to the staging area and thank everyone for flying with you. If anyone has questions about Homefronts or struggled with anything during the fleet, this is a good time for a brief Q&A. Also, remind pilots that they can set up jump clones, which helps them participate in future Homefront fleets more easily. | |||

=== Corporation callouts === | |||
* Write a recruitment message with enough information to minimize common questions like ‘Where do I go? What do I train? What do I fly?’ A clear message draws people to your fleet advert, allowing them to join directly without you needing to send manual invites — a big time-saver.

=== Alternate homefront channels === | |||
* If you’re struggling to find enough pilots for your fleet, you can try advertising in other channels to attract extra members. Keep in mind that some may take longer to reach your staging area, might not use comms, or could exhibit ‘bitter vet’ behavior. | * If you’re struggling to find enough pilots for your fleet, you can try advertising in other channels to attract extra members.
