Can someone from Cryptic please clarify on the following scenarios:
If three people are the maximum rank in a fleet and two of those people do not log on for 30 days, will ANY member of the fleet be able to claim the fleet?
If three people are the maximum rank in a fleet and two of those people do not log on for 30 days, will the third player, who is maximum rank in the fleet, but active, be sufficient to avoid having ANY member of the fleet claim the fleet?
How does this system work? I need specifics and I need them soon, sorry to be hastey. Thank you.

To many inactive fleets. The whole system has lost its focus in game. Its turned into one big pyramid scam were the many help the 1 to 3 leaders become super powerful. Its become such a cash cow that Cryptic exploits to earn millions of dollars.
Chillax. No Ego. No Drama.

hevach responded and is correct. Nothing has changed since the idle fleet leader system was put in just what can be done as a new leader using this system.
If 3 people are max level and two don't log in, obviously the third is still in charge as they are max level.

The new additions only really affect single leader fleets, so you should be ok..
To clarify:
No, nothing changes if you have an active fleet leader, no matter who it is as long as they are max Rank in the fleet.
If ALL of you become inactive for the 180 days then the next person in line will be able to take over the fleet. Whether that person is Rank 1, or Rank 6 it doesn't matter.
The point is almost moot because 180 days is such a ridiculous length of time that if you were away for that long without logging on even once, it would be safe to assume you probably weren't coming back.
You'd be surprised. I took command of my fleet when the previous leaders went inactive. Nearly nine months later they came back and started demanding that they be reinstated. needless to say that did not happen.

Someone who goes away for 6 months and 2 weeks, could still find themselves booted from the fleet they were leader of. They just made the time frame 550% longer which inevitably would paralyse the very fleets that need to have a change in leader because their leader is absent for an extended period.
OP, If something like that is so important to you, you should log on every once in a while and talk to members of the fleet, send an email etc. If you don't because you "have a life/job/family" etc. etc. then you should deal with the result of that.
It is not "YOUR" fleet... it is "OUR" fleet.
If you want it to be YOUR fleet, then you alone go ahead and pay for all of the upgrades and everything else, without any help from the rest of the members.
You don't own the fleet, you're just the one currently in charge, and if you abandon the fleet for 6 months, for whatever reason, then someone else gets to move up to replace you in OUR fleet. (personally, I'd consider 30 days without any kind of communication abandonment, but for the game's purposes, 180 days is extremely generous to give)
If you don't care enough to log in for 180 days, what makes you think you deserve to still be in charge when you come back 181 days later, after TRIBBLE over the rest of your fleetmates?
Yes yes, I know RL things happen from time to time to warrant you being gone for a couple months, but tough t*tt**s... if you can't be here to hold up your end of the deal, you can't be here. Doesn't matter the reasons.
Do the responsible thing and promote someone up to your level to take over if it is a planned absence (like spending 3 months in Africa to put up a cellular network) or (like you're being sentenced tomorrow, and there's a very good chance you're going to have to stay in jail for 4 months) or whatever.
The reasons don't really matter, why you're gone, you're GONE... and you have no right to expect the rest of the members of OUR fleet, to sit on our hands waiting for the possibility that you might come back some day.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is. "YOUR" fleet doesn't exist. It is always "OUR" fleet, you're just the ranking officer, until you're no longer fit to serve in that role.
Just be glad the fleet system doesn't handle promotions like the Klingons do.

edit: in cases where there are more than one person available who qualify to take over, like 6 people in the next lower rank, instead of immediately handing over control, perhaps a voting system instead so the membership can choose who they trust to be in charge? And, during the voting period, no new members may be added, to prevent someone from stuffing the vote, or only those who were active in the fleet before 30 days before the vote takes place, may vote?
