== Fleet Hierarchy View  ==
== Fleet Interface ==


The fleet roster should be changed to hierarchy view. This can be done by opening the Fleet section in the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]]. Click the arrow at the top left of the window, and select "view as hierarchy". If there is only the "view as flat list" option available, the roster is already displayed as a hierarchy.

The squad number displayed in the fleet window title bar is often wrong, due to a persistent bug. Make sure that you always check the fleet hierarchy to make sure you know which squad you are in.

Keep this window open on the history tab. There may be broadcasts that appear here that you will need to follow.

The [[Fleet Watch Lists|watch list]] is one of the most important tools of navigation during a fleet operation, often used by rookies to warp to the fleet when lost. Your fleet or squad commander will let you know if he or she wants you to put anyone specific in the watchlist. You may want to add the Fleet Commander (FC) and Squad Commander (SC) to the watch list and leave other spots open.
=== Watchlist  ===


Add people to the watchlist by right-clicking their names in the fleet overview window, then select 'Add to Watchlist'. You can warp to people by right-clicking their name in the watchlist. Review this [[Fleet Watch Lists|watch list page]] for additional details.  
The watchlist is often vitally useful in a fleet. Your fleet or squad commander will let you know if they want you to put anyone specific in the watchlist. Typically, fleet members might be asked to add the FC, second-in-command pilots, and scouts. You will then be able to warp to these people from the watchlist by right-clicking on their names, provided you are in the same system.
