== Notify people ==

First of all, make sure to tell people when you're forming a fleet. Post in the {{co|slateblue|~~incursions.e-uni~~}} chat channel that you're forming a fleet and ping people in the {{co|slateblue|#~~pingfleetforming~~}} channel on [[~~Slack~~]]. ~~Remember that any updates, questions and discussions about the fleet should go into {{co|slateblue|#talkaboutpings}} channel to avoid unnecessary pings.~~

=== Scheduling fleets in advance ===

Depending on how many people currently run incursions in your timezone, you sometimes benefit greatly from planning fleets ahead of time. If your timezone often have trouble forming on a daily basis, sending out a mail to the {{co|slateblue|Incursions.E-UNI}} mailing list a day or half a day in advance (as well as pinging {{co|slateblue|#~~pingfleetforming~~}} on ~~slack~~ once about the planned fleet) to let people know exactly what time you'll start forming will greatly increase the chances of getting fleets up and running.

Once your timezone is running regularly again, you'll no longer need to plan ahead for fleets unless you're planning on running a special fleet.

==== Message of the day template ====

Copy the following code by triple-clicking on the line, then drag system, capsuleers into the window to create links:

<pre>. System: - Commander: - Logi: - Boosterbunny: - Offgrid: Scout/hacker: - Pickets: - (in XXX) (~~tip~~ 500k per site to each offgrid) .</pre>

<pre>. System: - Commander: - Logi: - Boosterbunny: - Offgrid: Scout/hacker: - Pickets: - (in XXX) (500k per site to each offgrid) .</pre>

Would result in this:

{| style="background:#222222; border:1px dotted grey; padding:5px;"

| nowrap |

. System: - Commander: - Logi: - Boosterbunny: - Offgrid: Scout/hacker: - Pickets: - (in XXX) (~~tip~~ 500k per site to each offgrid) .

== Store fleet setup ==

You can save the fleet setup by clicking the top-left menu icon (four horizontal bars) in the fleet window, followed by the '''Store Fleet Setup''' option. Tick the checkboxes for '''Message of the Day''' and '''Free-Move''' then select a name for the setup and press '''OK'''. This means that the next time you form a fleet you can just load the stored setup and remove the excess wing.

Line 44:

Once you've saved your basic template and actually use it to form a fleet, simply edit the message of the day and ''drag-and-drop'' people from the member list in the fleet window into the position in the message of the day, to create a link to the character. Do this once when you're ready to start running or simply add people to their corresponding roles as they join the fleet. The key is to have the message of the day updated before you start running and whenever someone changes position.

== Advertise the fleet ==

Start advertizing the fleet in the {{co|slateblue|~~incursions.e-uni~~}} chat channel with something like this:

Start advertizing the fleet in the {{co|slateblue|Incursions (EVE Uni)}} chat channel with something like this:

<pre>Vanguard (forming): X up with your role and fit when ready in system! All roles are welcome!</pre>

Once you start getting certain roles filled, you could expand on that to say what you need to get running:

Line 50:

Remember that it's usually better to list what you need instead of listing all the things that you have, if you're just short a few roles. Similarly, when you start, or if you got room for all the roles, simply leave out specifics as you can take everyone. In short; keep it simple, keep it informative.

==== Once you're running ====

When the fleet is already running the [[Roles_in_Incursions#Waitlist_manager|waitlist manager]] routinely posts the waiting list in the {{co|slateblue|~~incursions.e-uni~~}} chat channel to advertise the fleet and to let people know their spot on the waitlist. The advert can be something like this (see the above mentioned waitlist manager link for information about the short-hands):

The advert can be something like this (see the above mentioned waitlist manager link for information about the short-hands):

<pre>Vanguard (running): Cassiel Seraphim (any), Logan Zauber (+s)

(x up with your role and fit when ready in system)</pre>

The easiest way to tell how often to advertise the fleet is to simply do it whenever the fleet is warping from site to site. So whenever you hear the ''"Drones in, align!"'' call, post the advert.
