This means a Squad Commander will only see his squad, a Wing Commander his wing and the Fleet Commander and the Fleet Boss will see the entire fleet.

=Fleet Watchlists=
=== Fleet Watch Lists ===
 
The Fleet Watch List has multiple purposes. For Squad Commanders, it helps them see whether their squad members are near their current location in space.  For [[logistics]] ships, it helps them to see who needs to be repaired and to lock pilots easily. For others, it allows you to quickly warp to a member.
 
The Fleet Watch List allows a maximum of 100 pilots at any one time.  You can add to the Watch List several ways.  One method is to use the My Fleet window in hierarchy view, right click a fleet member, and select "Add to Watch List." Another method is right click on the character's portrait, drop down and select fleet, and then add to watch list.  A third method is the "x up" approach, when a pilot types an "x" in Fleet chat, right click that pilot's name, go to Fleet in the pop-up menu, then "Add to Watch List". It is good practice to add the Fleet Commander, Wing Commander, Squad Commander and any scouts to your watch list, together with anyone else the Fleet Commanders instructs you to add.
 
If you want to add an entire squad to your watch list, right click the Squad Commander and select "Add Squad Members to Watch List."  All Squad Commanders are encouraged to have their squad on their watch list.

=== Formations ===
 
You can learn the skills {{sk|Fleet Formations}} and {{sk|Fleet Coordination}} to create specific formations after fleet warps. Skill levels in Fleet Formations gives you more options in formation types and Fleet Coordination increases the possible size of those formations. There are six possible formations, described with ingame tooltips:
* {{co|wheat|Point Formation:}} ''Arranges ships in random positions within a tight sphere.'' (this formation requires no skill books)
* {{co|wheat|Sphere Formation:}} ''Arranges ships randomly within a large sphere and respects size configurations made by the commander.''
* {{co|wheat|Plane Formation:}} ''Arranges ships in a flat square and respects size and spacing configurations made by the commander.''
* {{co|wheat|Wall Formation:}} ''Arranges ships in a vertical square and respects size and spacing configurations made by the commander.''
* {{co|wheat|Arrow Formation:}} ''Arranges ships in a forward facing wedge and respects size and spacing configurations made by the commander.''
* {{co|wheat|Relative Formation:}} ''Maintains the position of ships in fleet when the warp was initiated, relative to the commander initiating warp. Relative formation has a range of 200km and will not warp members outside that distance.''
<br>Sphere, Plane, Wall and Arrow formations can have the following size options: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 100 km.
<br>Plane, Wall and Arrow formations can also have the following spacing options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 km. They also have this note: ''If the fleet is too large for the formation, given the selected size and spacing, some ships will take up positions nearby.''</br>
