A spider fleet (sometimes known as a 'standings fleet') is the name for a fleet in which each member independently runs their own missions, while in a fleet with other members doing the same thing.

===Benefits of spider fleets===

The benefit to this is that mission rewards and standings can be divided equally among all the members of the fleet, up to a maximum of ten members. This means that members of the fleet can build up standings in particular with several different NPC corporations at the same time.

===Finding and joining spider fleets===


Choose the Fleet [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] button, go to the Fleet Finder tab, then select "get fleet" button. You will be given a search box that allows you to select certain restrictions and parameters. You want to select Corporation fleet but do not select any other more restrictive criteria. If there is an existing Spider fleet it will come up with some welcome message. Select join and your request to join will be sent to the Fleet boss. Once your request has been accepted you will be added to the fleet and a fleet chat window will be opened.   
[[EVE University]] members running spider fleets may list them in the Fleet Finder. On the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]], go to the E in the top right, then to {{co|wheat|'''Social'''}} and select the [[File:Fleet.png|32px]] {{co|wheat|'''Fleet'''}} button. Select the Fleet Finder tab, then select the {{co|wheat|'''Find Fleets'''}} button. If there is an existing spider fleet it will be listed here. Right click the spider fleet and select Join and the request to join will be sent to the Fleet boss. Once the request has been accepted the member will be added to the fleet and a fleet chat window will be opened.   


Once in the fleet, you are expected to be missioning. Freeloading in this fleet will be considered corp theft. Use some common sense. You do not need to drop from fleet while salvaging. If you're going to change locations and not be missioning for 20 jumps, leave the fleet and rejoin when you reach your destination.  
In the event that there is no existing spider fleet available, members can start a new spider fleet. To do this, click the {{co|wheat|'''Fleet'''}} button from the Neocom, right click the four bars to the top right of the Fleet window and select Form Fleet. Afterwards, the member will need to put up an advert to allow people to join. Select the Fleet Finder tab, then the subtab My Advert and then select Create Advert. A window will open and the member should fill it in with details of the fleet. Ensure it is set to Corporation and that you mention in the name that it is a spider fleet for missions.
Run your missions and when you do your turn in you will be given a window that asks if you want to share rewards with fleet members or to claim them for yourself. Choose the top option which is to share the rewards.


In the event you find no fleet available, it pays to ask in the <code>missions.e-uni</code> channel if there is a spider fleet in case the person who formed the fleet did not know the proper way to list it under the fleet finder.
''See the [[Fleet User Interface]] article for more detailed information on the Fleet window''


If there is no existing fleet, just start it up yourself. To start a standings fleet, open the Fleet window from the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]], go to the My Fleet tab, and press the "Form Fleet" button. Afterwards, you need to list it in the Fleet Finder. Select the "Fleet Finder" tab, then the subtab "My Advert" and then "Create Advert". A window will open and you should fill it in as you want. Mentioning the fact that it's a Standings Fleet it probably a good idea, and be sure to set it to Corporation only.
===Fleet Protocol===


See the [[Fleet User Interface]] article for more detailed information.
Once a member is in the fleet, they are expected to be doing missions. If they are not actively doing missions, but still knowingly claiming rewards from others this is considered theft, and is contrary to the [[EVE University Rules]]. Discretion is advised, for example a quick break from doing missions to salvage a site would be okay, but if a member is moving to a new location or going [[Lexicon#AFK|AFK]] it would be better for them to drop from the fleet until they are back doing missions again.


===Fleet Protocol===
Run your missions and when you do your turn in you will be given a window that asks if you want to share rewards with fleet members or to claim them for yourself. Choose the top option which is to share the rewards. 


After joining or creating the fleet, you're obligated to run missions; no moochers! Upon completion of a mission, you should notify the others using the "Missions.E-UNI" channel with the following syntax: <code>[$$$$$][CORP]</code>
