When a player joins a fleet they will have access to a new window called the Fleet window. this window provides a huge amount of information.

Fleet window

This is the default fleet window. Every fleet is made up of wings and squads. In this screenshot the fleet commander is at the top, with the wing beneath and the squad beneath that. In this case the fleet only contains one person, and they are marked as both Fleet Commander and Fleet Boss.

Clicking the four bars in the top left of the fleet window brings up the options:

• Leave Fleet: Drops you from the fleet.
• Flag Exempt From Fleet Warp: Marks you as not following in a fleet warp (this is useful for scouts who may not be following the rest of the fleet).
• Regroup:
• Set/Unset Free-move: This switches the fleet between members being able to move themselves to a different position (free move) and members being fixed in the position they are placed in.
• Set/Unset Voice-Enabled: This allows and disallows the use of EVE Voice, the in-game voice communication tool. EVE University use Mumble instead.
• Broadcasts: Another way to make broadcasts (as well as the buttons along the bottom of the fleet window).
• Broadcast Settings: Opens the broadcast settings window. See Broadcast settings.
• View as Flat List/Hierarchy: Switches between the list of fleet members being displayed as a flat list and a hierarchy.
• Export Loot History: Exports the Loot History to your Fleetlogs folder on your computer.
• Store Fleet Setup: Allows the Fleet Commander to store the fleet setup for future reference. Note that all wings must have unique names.
• Show Fleet Composition: Opens the Fleet Composition Window. See Fleet composition.
• Open Join Requests: This allows the Fleet Commander to see a list of people who have requested to join the fleet, but who have not been approved yet.
• Create Advert: This allows the Fleet Commander to create a Fleet Advert (see below).
• Copy External Fleet Link:

History

The history tab has several filters, which you can switch between at the drop down list in the top left.

	In the broadcast history you can see all broadcasts which you have turned on in the broadcast settings. It also shows who it was from and who it was sent to.
	In the voice history you can see who has spoken on the fleet's Eve Voice channel. EVE University use Mumble instead.
	In the member history you can see which members are in the fleet, what roles they have been given and when they left. This is useful when you want to make an After Action Report and see what happened in the fleet composition.
	In the loot history you can see which items were looted and by which pilot.

Fleet Finder

In this window you can look for fleets you can join:

• Scope: You can select what type of fleet you are looking for. You can select from the following options:
  • My Available Fleets: Select any available fleet you can join.
  • My Corporation Fleets: Select all fleets from your own corporation.
  • My Alliance Fleets: Select all fleets from your alliance.
  • Based on Standings: Select all fleets from people you have high enough standings with.
• Range: You can choose the range in which you want to look for fleets. You can choose between Any, 5 Jumps, 10 Jumps and Region.
• Min. Standing: This will limit the number of fleets based on your standing towards the Fleet Boss. You can choose here from Any, Good (above 0.0) and Excellent (above 5.0). With this you can limit the fleets so you don't accidentally join a fleet with those you have negative standings towards.

   2. Everyone Broadcasts to everyone in the fleet.
   3. Superiors Broadcasts to your direct superiors. For example, if you are in Squad 1 of Wing one only the Fleet Commander, the Wing Commander of Wing 1 and the Squad Commander of Squad 1 will get this broadcast.

Broadcasting your location

When you broadcast your location the players receiving your broadcast will see a notification with your location. They can right click the broadcast to open up several options:

If they right click on the broadcast and click on Show Distance, they will see a pop up with the distance between them and the location, in both number of jumps (calculated by the shortest route) and in light-years.

Broadcast settings

In this window you can select whether you want to receive certain broadcasts. For example, you may want to turn off the Need Armor if you aren't in a logistics ship.

You can also change the background color for each type of broadcast to make them easier to spot in the History tab.

Fleet composition

The Fleet Composition window will give you some extra information on your fleet members. Only people in command positions have access to this screen and you can only see your subordinates. This means a Squad Commander will only see his squad, a Wing Commander his wing and the Fleet Commander and the Fleet Boss will see the entire fleet.

Posting an Open Fleet Invite

Putting a link to an auto-invite fleet is a two-step process, after the Fleet Finder was introduced with Dominion

Start out by forming a fleet with yourself - click the fleet icon in the left-side menu and create a fleet.

Then go to the "Fleet Finder" tab and the "My Advert" sub tab. Be sure to set the fleet to "Alliance only" and give it a nice description:

After the fleet is prepped and submitted, it is now visible to others in the alliance.

Switch to the "Find Fleets" sub tab and you should see available fleets, including your own. Now simply drag your character picture to a chat window:
