===Standings Fleet===

A standings fleet (sometimes called a spider fleet) is the name for a corporate mission running fleet in which each member runs whatever missions they have individually. The members of the fleet share mission rewards: loyalty points, ISK, and corporate standing increases. ''[There is no obligation to share either loot or salvage]''. An additional benefit of spider fleets is that if you run into trouble finishing a mission, the missions chat is ready made to ask for assistance, but be sure to state what system your difficult mission is in.

All fleet related chat should be kept to the Missions.E-UNI channel to minimize window swapping.

==Locust Fleets==

A locust fleet is a fleet of many players all completing the same (commonly level 4) mission together. Upon completion of a mission, the mission owner will choose the option to split the mission rewards among all fleet members. This equally splits the mission's reward, bonus, loyalty point payout, and standings increase among up to 10 fleet members. Additionally, bounties are split among everyone at the combat site.

Locust fleets should use their fleet chat or TeamSpeak to coordinate, '''not''' the missions.e-uni channel.

===Roles and Guidelines===

A common question is what should you bring to a locust fleet. Here are some general roles and guidelines, but keep in mind that everyone who runs a locust fleet runs it their own way.

-Tank: A ship designated to receive aggression from the NPCs, the tank is usually a BS or better ship (for level 4 missions) capable of permanently tanking the mission it is running. There are usually 1-3 tanks per 10 person fleet, but it never hurts to have more.

-Damage Dealers (DD): The DD role is to kill as many enemy ships as quickly as possible. DD ships are usually BC or better for level 4 missions. '''DD ships must still be capable of tanking''' due to aggro sometimes splitting up from NPCs, but it should not be their primary role. There are usually 6-8 DD per 10 person fleet.

-Salvagers: A salvager is a person who stays behind the fleet, collecting loot and salvaging NPC wrecks. This is an ideal role for a newer player looking to earn isk and standings, since it can be done with a destroyer. There are usually 1-2 salvagers per 10 person fleet.

If you want to bring a smaller ship or you are unsure about what to bring, ask whoever is running the fleet.

===Joining a Locust Fleet===

To join a locust fleet, you can usually find it through the fleet finder via the neocom's Fleet icon (red background with gold chevrons and stars). If there is no fleet posted, or you are having trouble locating the fleet finder, ask in "missions.e-uni". If no locust fleet is running and you have access to lucrative missions, you're welcome to start a locust fleet of your own.

===Loot===

Loot and salvage should be equally split among all fleet members. This becomes complicated, since members tend to come and go over the course of the fleet. The easiest way to resolve this is to have the salvager(s) keep a tally of "shares"

per participant (including themselves), usually in the form of a share per mission run or a share per 15/30/60 minutes elapsed. After the fleet has finished, the loot is sold or reprocessed and the salvager(s) give each player their portion of the earnings based on their shares.

'''Stealing from locust fleets is strictly forbidden... you will be reported as a corp thief'''. There is a fleet option for loot logging, so it is easy to prove. This applies to salvagers and main fleet members alike.
