The Fleet Watch List has multiple purposes. For Squad Commanders, it helps them see whether their squad members are near their current location in space. For [[logistics]] ships, it helps them to see who needs to be repaired and to lock pilots easily. For others, it allows you to quickly warp to a member.

The Fleet Watch List allows a maximum of 15 pilots at any one time. You can add to the Watch List several ways. One method is to use the My Fleet window in hierarchy view, right click a fleet member, and select "Add to Watch List." Another method is right click on the character's portrait, drop down and select fleet, and then add to watch list. A third method is the "x up" approach, when a pilot types an "x" in Fleet chat, right click that pilot's name, go to Fleet in the pop-up menu, then "Add to Watch List". It is good practice to add the Fleet Commander, Wing Commander, Squad Commander and any scouts to your watchlist, together with anyone else the Fleet Commanders instructs you to add.

If you want to add an entire squad to your watch list, right click the Squad Commander and select "Add Squad Members to Watch List." All Squad Commanders are encouraged to have their squad on their watch list.

To use the watch list for warp purposes, right click on the name in the watch list, and you can select on of two options:

* {{co|wheat|Warp to}}: Warps you to 0 in the last known position of the ship the person is flying - be sure to ''never'' warp to 0 to a scout, as this will uncloak them if they are cloaked)

* {{co|wheat|Warp to X km}}: Allows you to select the distance (10km being the shortest you should ever warp to a cloaked scout).

When pilots on your watch list are on grid with you and are not cloaked, you will see three bars to the right of their names. The first bar is the health of their ships' shields. The second bar shows armor health, and the third bar shows structure health. If you do not see these bars, the pilot is either off grid from you or cloaked.
