The Fleet Composition window will give you some extra information on your fleet members. Only people in command positions have access to this screen and you can only see your subordinates. 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.

[[File:Watchlist.PNG]]
[[File:Fleet12watchlist.png]]


To use the watch list for warp purposes, right click on the name in the watch list, and you can select on of two options:
=== Formations ===
 
* {{co|wheat|Warp to}}: Warps you to 0 in the last known position of the ship the person is flying - be sure to ''never'' warp to 0 to a scout, as this will uncloak them if they are cloaked)
* {{co|wheat|Warp to X km}}: Allows you to select the distance (10km being the shortest you should ever warp to a cloaked scout).


When pilots on your watch list are on grid with you and are not cloaked, you will see three bars to the right of their names. The first bar is the health of their ships' shields. The second bar shows armor health, and the third bar shows structure health. If you do not see these bars, the pilot is either off grid from you or cloaked.
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>
