People who are interested in our fleet cant find us in the search for fleet and I myself cant find it even tho i founded it when the game came out. I have 2 characters 1 is in the fleet one isnt, and the minimum rank in the fleet options is ensign 1 so everyone should be able to join or find us.

Is there some setting i may have missed which hides the fleet name in search for people or something?

The name is Birth of the Federation 2

    Yes, there is an option that dictates if the Fleet is visible on the directory or not.

    You may wish to add some keywords/area/play style details using the lists provided in your fleet control menu, and some advertising never hurts anyone.

    Yeah i have them 2 boxes unticked so the fleet name should show up in search but it is not. Btw no one out of the fleet was online when i was searching for the fleet name in fleet search would that be why no one can find us if non of us are online at the time they are searching for our fleet? I assume that fleet exists all the time therefore searching for it should work all the time weather or not any of us are online at the time. As at the mo we are very small with 3-4 ppl playing very sparingly. With f2p we hoped we would get some players and there is some interest but they cant find us when searching for our fleet in fleet search.

    Yes i added some keywords etc using the options provided like timezone, gameplay style, english etc.

    Yep confirmed that u need someone to be online in the fleet with inviting privlidges in order for your fleet to show up in fleet search. Which for a small fleet with not much activity is a very harmful way for our fleet to gain new members. Cryptic please make it so no one on the fleet has to be online so our fleet shows up in fleet search and let them ppl who find us send the fleet members a mail to ask to join and let us accept them through fleet mail or somit.

    Ta.

    Because the whole "have" to be online thing just cant work for us.
