A better type of fleet

I want to make a new fleet where its not based on your holdings to move you up. Where all voices are heard no matter how new you are to the game or fleet. Where people want to play together and help one another out. Lets make one together let me know name ideas and what you want from a fleet. And most of important if you would like to be apart of this.

    No offense intended, but good luck with that working. Been tried many times, and never quite seems to work out. In the fleet I am in we don't really look at your contributions to holdings, we advance who we see helping our members out, but it is a hard road.​​

    I suspect this is more about wanting to run a fleet than about deserving promotions. Understandable, if a bit misguided. Anybody who's actually tried to run a fleet knows it isn't that easy.

    There are all kinds of fleets out there that do not focus on holdings. But if holdings are important fleet resources (they are) then it's only right that fleet members participate in building them.

    Why should members be promoted for *not* helping their fleet mates?

    Our fleet is pretty generous with promotions below what I'll call "staff" level (the ability to manage fleet bank/members). I promoted our Co-Leader because, frankly, he does more for the fleet than I do. We don't force anyone to help build holdings, but the people who do get promoted over the ones that don't.

    Don't think of it as buying rank because that's totally wrong. But it *is* a meritocracy. The people who have earned trust and demonstrated a willingness to participate and a desire to advance the fleet deserve to be promoted.

    But promoting people who have not earned that trust nor demonstrated a fleet mindset not only sends the wrong message, it's liable to get the fleet trashed by pirates.

    As a fleet leader I've always been open to what our members want and put the fleet's needs over my own more often than not. You find a small fleet with a leader like that and challenge yourself to do as much or more for the fleet than they do and you'll probably be offered a promotion. Might even end up Co-Leader, if you're crazy enough to say "yes".

    Yeah, one of our members REALLLY wants the shipyard to get upgraded to T5.... so he pours as much as he can into the military part of our main base. Me? I just make sure that the process doesn't get stuck.

    You can name the fleet Hippie Commune.

    I'm thinking this will crash and burn, but it's your fleet, to run however you want. I'd be careful with the whole "commune" style of running things though. Someone is going to contribute, others won't . Those that contribute, engage, play and lead are going to inevitably feel some kinda way when they are left out of fleet leadership or if resources aren't available because louses took advantage and gobbled them up.

    You are 6 years behind schedule. Why make a fleet now when there are a bunch of GREAT, good and semi good fleets with better characteristics described above.

    It's been done and re-done several times. However, if you have had a bad experience with a fleet feel free to join us and PM me and will show you a GREAT fleet that has done the right thing for over 6 years fox-1.gif

    BTW...this is the wrong thread to posts these requests. You should do them at:
