The checkbox above the fleets should filter out any fleet that is not one of your groups or have public standing requirements at 0 or below.
They should be added automatically, and as far as I can tell they are there.
Workin’ on it.
Hey, thanks for your feedback! Could you please help me understand why they would only see it during those 15-30 minutes?
You should be able to create an alliance fleet. So instead of selecting the ‘Public access’ option, select the option above that says ‘Alliance’.
Thanks for the reply! That sounds like a fine way to do it, if you do have a channel then you can also just drop the link in there instead of having them x-up.
It makes it a “public” fleet for those with the required standings. Someone who does not have the required standings will not see your fleet listed and will not be able to join it through a link.
(which was also the case through “based on standings” in the old fleet finder). If this is not the cased, I would really like to know!
ok, I feel we have just been misunderstanding each other so I’ll just state a few things that might clear up some of the misunderstanding
If you only check the “open to alliance” checkbox
→ the fleet advert/link will be open to your alliance, no one else
If you check the “open to alliance” checkbox and set the minimum required standings to +5,
→ the fleet will be open to your alliance members who you/your corp/your alliance has set to 5 or above (this also includes if the standings is to their corp/alliance). No one else should have access to the fleet through the advert/advert link.
If you check the “open to alliance” checkbox and ‘Public Access’ with +5 standing requirements
→ the fleet advert/link is open to your entire alliance, in addition to the pilot who you/your corp/your alliance has 5 or above standings towards
Even if the fleet is only “Open to Alliance”, other non-alliance characters can always be manually added to the fleet by those with the required fleet roles
“My available fleets” should list all the fleets you can join through an advert, whether it’s because it’s open to all public, public with standings requirements, corp or alliance.
the standings drop down next to “my available fleets” in the fleet finder is only for you to to filter the list and is based on your personal standings towards the fleet boss. It has nothing to do with how the fleet advert is set up (I know this is very misleading)
The FC or the other commanders can always drag those few members into your fleet, or right click on them to invite them.
Edit: It’s worth mentioning that through the Fleetup you have greater control over the standing requirements. So if there are some that you trust more than others, the corp/alliance could for example set those to +5.1 rather then 5.0 and set the standing requirements in the fleet advert to 5.1.
Please let me know if I continue to misunderstand you or if you can spot where the misunderstanding lies
oops, sorry, a little brain fart… the corp can set such standings
Tbh, I don’t really know. My guess would just to keep it simple. The corp/alliance standings probably started like that then had to be expanded because the groups had need to have it more granular.
And regarding the other question, I don’t really have an answer for that either. I´m not working on it and don’t know all the details (also would not be my place to talk about it )
Great! Just keep in mind that fleet links (in chat for example) are directly tied to the fleet advert. If the fleet advert is only for Alliance, non-Alliance characters cannot join through the link to it.
Hey Sam, thanks for letting us know. The issues are fixed for a lot of users but still rolling out for others. Sorry for the inconvenience, the bugs have been squashed but we have to be precarious with distribution of the pesticide but it’s coming.
It’s 10:40AM, why isn’t everyone?
Also we just had a 5.5 earthquake here in Iceland, who’s gonna sleep through that?
