Fleet Channels
Each fleet has their own channel on Mumble. There are premade channels named Alpha to 'Juliet in the Ivy League Navy section. Do not go into a fleet operation channel unless you are in the fleet. If you go into fleet op channels without authorization, you will be unregistered and kicked from Mumble.
Inside each fleet channel there will be a command channel. Do not join the command channel in Mumble unless you are in a command position, or otherwise given authorization. This is a private Mumble channel which is only for people in command positions. Joining without authorization will result in being kicked from Mumble.
Communication Policies
Fleet communications are typically ran using one of the following three policies:
- Closed Comms
- This is the default. If no other order is given, assume Closed Comms. Closed Comms means that commanders and scouts will talk in the command channel and relay orders to the fleet channel whenever necessary. Fleet members are not allowed to speak in Mumble, except in the situations outlined below.
- Open Comms
- This works like Closed Comms, except that command will usually speak in the fleet channel, for education and entertainment of the fleet members. This does not mean that fleet members are allowed to speak, except in the situation outlined below. Command
- Unrestricted Comms
- When the Unrestricted Comms policy is in effect, everybody is allowed to speak on Mumble. Nevertheless fleet members must not talk in tight situations or when instructed not to. Also, chat should be kept brief and mostly on-topic to the fleet operations.
Fleet Commanders may change the communication policy during a fleet, for example to have Unrestricted Comms while in high-sec, but switch to Closed Comms once in low-sec or while engaged.
