# Undock and find a safe place to sit. You will be sitting out in space for around half an hour. Immediately outside of a dockable station and away from the station exit is a good place to do this. (See [[#Editing Overview Settings While Docked|Editing Overview Settings While Docked]] below, for instructions on editing your overview without leaving the station.) '''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''. <font color="red">This is strongly advised for characters in E-UNI during wartime.</font> | # Undock and find a safe place to sit.

# Click the lines at the top left of the [[NeoCom]] panel --> ''Social'' --> ''Fleet''. Click the top left of the newly opened Fleet window and '''Form Fleet'''. You will see that you are now in 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. | # Click the lines at the top left of the [[NeoCom]] panel --> ''Social'' --> ''Fleet''.

# During a fleet, you’re going to need to have chat windows open. If the FC runs squad chats, then you'll want that and the fleet chat open at once.

# 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. | # Another window you should have separated is '''Local chat'''.
