Mission Fleet

Standings Fleet

A standings fleet (sometimes called a spider fleet) is the name for a corporate mission running fleet in which each member runs whatever missions they have individually. The members of the fleet share mission rewards: loyalty points, ISK, and corporate standing increases. [There is no obligation to share either loot or salvage]. An additional benefit of spider fleets is that if you run into trouble finishing a mission, the missions chat is ready made to ask for assistance, but be sure to state what system your difficult mission is in.

To join the standings fleet, make sure to be in the "missions.e-uni" channel and read the rules in the Message of the Day.

Choose the Fleet Neocom button, go to the Fleet Finder tab, then select "get fleet" button. You will be given a search box that allows you to select certain restrictions and parameters. You want to select Corporation fleet but do not select any other more restrictive criteria. If there is an existing standings fleet it will come up with some welcome message. Select join and you will automatically be added to the fleet and a fleet chat window will be opened. We do not chat in the fleet window instead we chat in the missions.e-uni channel.

Once in the fleet, you are expected to be missioning. Free loading in this fleet will be considered corp theft. Use some common sense. You do not need to drop from fleet while salvaging. If you're going to change locations and not be missioning for 20 jumps, leave the fleet and rejoin when you reach your destination. Run your missions and when you do your turn in you will be given a window that asks if you want to share rewards with fleet members or to claim them for yourself. Choose the top option which is to share the rewards.

Please note that rewards only share between a maximum of 10 members in a fleet. If there are more than 10 members interested in a spider fleet, create two separate fleets until the number goes down to 10 or less and then consolidate the fleets.

In the event you find no fleet available it pays to ask in the "missions.e-uni" channel if there is a spider fleet in case the person who formed the fleet did not know the proper way to list it under the fleet finder.

If there is no existing fleet, just start it up yourself. To start a standings fleet, open the Fleet window from the Neocom, go to the My Fleet tab, and press the "Form Fleet" button. Afterwards you need to list it in the Fleet Finder. Select the "Fleet Finder" tab, then the subtab "My Advert" and then "Create Advert". A window will open and you should fill it in as you want. Mentioning the fact that it's a Standings Fleet it probably a good idea, and be sure to set it to Corporation only.

See the Fleetwindow and fleetfinder article for more detailed information.

Fleet Protocol

After joining or creating the fleet, you're obligated to run missions; no moochers! Upon completion of a mission, you should notify the others using the "Missions.E-UNI" channel with the following syntax: [$$$$$][CORP]

[$$$$$] implies a dollar sign for each level of the mission

[CORP] implies the corp's ticker name you ran the mission for.

For example, after completing a level 2 mission for Minmitar Mining Corporation you should say the following in Missions.E-UNI: "$$ MMC". This is so all fleet members can ensure everyone is contributing.

All fleet related chat should be kept to the Missions.E-UNI channel to minimize window swapping.
