* '''Passing Fleet Boss to Another'''

If you are ready to leave fleet and are the current boss, you must pass the boss position to another in fleet member first. Ask for volunteers in the Fleet Chat and/or Mumble. Make every reasonable effort to pass boss to someone who is active. Once you have your volunteer, make sure that they are safe, as becoming fleet boss will give them a 10-second session timer during which they cannot jump through a gate or dock at a station. Then, pass fleet boss to them by right clicking their name in chat or the fleet window, followed by a left click on "Make Boss".

If fleet boss is passed to you, either as a result of you volunteering or ~~being~~ "ninja ~~bossed~~", it is your responsibility to ensure the Advert and MOTD are updated. The Fleet Advert should update automatically if the previous fleet boss had activated the "Automatically Update Fleet Advert on Boss Change" checkbox. It's a good idea to double-check it in any case.
