#Undock and ﬁnd a safe place to sit. You will be sitting out in space for around half an hour. The POS in Aldrat is a good place to do this - ask another player in corp chat if you don’t know where it is. '''Alternatively, do this on an alternate character on the same account.''' The changes will carry across to all characters ''on that account on the same computer''. This is preferable in wartime.

#Click the fleet button (on the Neocom panel), then click '''Form Fleet'''. Click through the loot logging screen, and you’ll see that you’ve formed a fleet.

#Click the fleet button (on the Neocom panel), then click '''Form Fleet'''. Click through the loot logging screen, and you’ll see that you’ve formed a fleet. You may need to reposition and resize the fleet window during fleet ops; sometimes you need it small and out of the way, other times you need to expand it to find pilots in the list.

#Make your overview '''nice and big''' - it is your main source of information. You could have it running from top to bottom on the right side of my screen, with '''Selected Item window''' just above it, and the '''Drone Bay window''' just below it.

#During a fleet, you’re going to need to have chat windows open. You generally have two windows open at once - fleet chat and squad chat. I like to keep them on the left side of the screen in separate windows.

#Another window you should have separated is '''Local chat'''. Local is very important in ascertaining who is in system with you.

#Another window you should have separated is '''Local chat'''. Local is very important in ascertaining who is in system with you. A lot of players like to have it narrowed to the smallest width. You may want to remove portraits from the local chat to make chatter easier to read. The local window is often positioned either running down the left side of the screen between the NeoCom and the chat channels, or just to the right of the chat channels. The more height your local window has, the easier it is to spot potential hostiles in a system.

#You should also leave space for your watch list, but you can only get that when you have other people in your ﬂeet.

#Press escape and go to the '''General Settings tab'''. Under the '''Windows''' subheading, check '''Lock windows when pinned'''. This will ensure your overview and other windows don’t go anywhere.
