Leadership skills for forming fleets, although not essential, are important. | Leadership skills for forming fleets, although not essential, are important. These skills allow players to pass bonuses onto fellow fleet members by being in the same fleet. There are no skill requirements for being in a command position. However, having the relevant skill for the position enables the person in the command position to pass on bonuses to other members in the fleet.<br> | ||

Also in the fleet structure | Also in the fleet structure, is the fleet boss. The fleet boss has all the abilities and command tools of the Fleet Commander, but may be any member of the fleet. By default, the FC is the Boss, but the FC may assign any other fleet member to be the fleet boss. A fleet boss might assign the fleet commander position to another player if you are commanding the fleet, but you do not have the Fleet Command skill. In order to use fleet bonuses, you could promote someone who does have the Fleet Command skill to be the FC, whilst you retain the boss role, and overall command. <br> | ||
The term "fleet bonus" has been used so far, however a better phrase would simply be "bonus", since there are different levels of bonuses for each level in the command structure. EVE uses the terms "fleet bonuses" (and "fleet boosters") which can be confusing.<br> | |||
Leadership skills may be divded into two different types: those that generate bonuses, and those that permit these bonuses to be passed on to other fleet members.<br> | Leadership skills may be divded into two different types: those that generate bonuses, and those that permit these bonuses to be passed on to other fleet members.<br> | ||

It is worth noting once more that you do '''not''' need these skills to hold these positions. However, if you intend to fly a fleet, and command fleets, it is worth training these skills. Leadership is only a basic skill and does not take very long. | ||
