===Finding and joining spider fleets=== | |||
[[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. | |||
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. | |||
''See the [[Fleet User Interface]] article for more detailed information on the Fleet window'' | |||
===Fleet Protocol=== | |||
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. | |||
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> | After joining or creating the fleet, you're obligated to run missions; no moochers!
