 As Fleet Commander, you are responsible for leading your fleet and ensuring that fleet activities are an enjoyable experience for all participants. To help you achieve this, we have established the following guidelines.
 * Pre-flight check
-** Double-check fits when new players join to ensure nobody brings the wrong setup. Use our [[homefront operation]] wiki to doublecheck on hostile EWAR, damage type, weaknesses.

+* Fleet hierarchy & MOTD
+** Use a clear '''MOTD''' to store staging / comms / fits so you can easily reload the MOTD to link to data into fleetchat or refer to it if people ask you about it.
 ** Maintain a clear fleet hierarchy and manage squads effectively.
 *** Track who is in which role
 *** Track who is in the queue
