Note that Squad Commander counts for the membership of his squad, but the wing commander and fleet commander do not count toward any squad. This means that the maximum fleet size is 256 pilots.<br>

There is one important leadership position that does not appear in the leadership hierarchy, that of fleet 'boss'. While the name of the role may imply a leadership and or command position the role is in fact purely administrative and can be filled by any pilot in any position although the default fleet boss is the person who first forms the fleet. The fleet boss is the only person who can promote other people to the wing and fleet command positions as well as edit the fleet's Message of the Day (MOTD).

The fleet boss is the only person who can promote other people to the wing and fleet command positions as well as edit the fleet's Message of the Day (MOTD) and post an advert for the fleet that will appear in the fleet finder part of the fleet window to all pilots who meet the requirements specified in the advert.


The term "fleet bonus" has been used so far, however a better phrase would simply be "bonus", since there are different levels of bonuses for each level in the command structure. EVE uses the terms "fleet bonuses" (and "fleet boosters") which can be confusing.<br>

The bonuses themselves are generated by the Squad/Wing/Fleet Booster, a position in the fleet that by default is assigned to each Squad/Wing/Fleet commander.&nbsp; However the commanders may assign their booster position to any other member below them in the fleet structure.<br>

== Leadership tools ==
Being in any leadership position gives you access to the fleet composition window which is accessible through the menu that appears when clicking on the four bars at the top left of the fleet window (note that the option will only appear if you are in a leadership position). This window will tell you (for all fleet members that are in the part of the fleet you have the leadership position for) who they are, where they are (including whether they are docked) what type of ship they are flying, what their role in the fleet is (do they hold any leadership position or are they the fleet boss), what fleet leadership skills they have (in order of FC-WC-SC), and what specific part of the fleet (down to squad level) they are currently in.
