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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.
