Help with finding/joining a fleet

I'd like to join a fleet. Many people have bombarded me with invites, but how do I find out what type of fleet I've been invited to join?
I don't pvp, but would be willing to help as part of a team on pve missions. I don't suppose anyone could recommend a good fleet that isn't going to expect me to pvp?
Thanks

You will see Earth SpaceDock, Qo'noS and New Romulus.
Personally, I would like an option that prevents "Would you like to join a fleet?" messages from popping up I find it very annoying especially when someone does that to me in the middle of a f*****g Elite STF mission.
That was added some time ago.
Social Tab (O by default) > Privacy > Allow fleet invitations > Off
Koooool...
Thx. I usually don't bother with the Social Tab.
You ask them silly! :P
Get a random invite? Send them a tell: "Hi, so I see you've sent me a fleet invite. What kind of fleet are you fine folks? What content to you like to play? Do you have any membership requirements like PVP, RP, or specific donations? Do you enjoy tacos and long walks on the beach that culminate in punching Borg in the face?" etc. If they don't say anything back, you don't want to be in their fleet. If they give you a curt or squirrely answer, you don't want to be in their fleet. Any fleet that's half worth their mettle will give you a good, honest, response when you ask that question. (although IMHO any fleet that's half worth their mettle won't send random unsolicited invites; they should at least say hi first or encounter you in a queue'd mission or something)
I got lucky with my fleet. I met both of the co-leaders in the old Mirror invasion a year or two ago during a good run and overheard them using the ingame voice chat to coordinate. I was actually very anti-fleet/apprehensive at that time because I thought there would be some ridiculous requirements like mandatory PVP or strict RP-like rank structures in any fleet but they convinced me otherwise and I haven't regretted it. It turns out most fleets are actually pretty chill about requirements like that. :P Ours only has like 2 or 3 major rules 'no drama, don't be a leech, participate and have fun and hang out and show that you're interested' and a smattering of minor rules like 'don't put TRIBBLE items in the bank!'
jaguarskx mentioned the fleet administration forum section; there's also a Find Fleet tab on the Social window (O key) in-game where you can search and filter and read fleet's descriptions of themselves. Note: That search/filter is a little buggy and doesn't always display all results (there are over 20,000 fleets in STO) so you might have to refresh the search a few times to get more results.

Hello,
May I recommend the fleet that I'm in.. Fed Alliance Omega. It is a part of a much bigger fleet and although it is NOT a T5 yet you have access to the mother fleet.... all you have to do is ask. To get access to the goodies all you have to do is contribute like pennies.... I got access to all the stores within the first 1/2 hour!
Also a lot of helpful/knowledgeable people there. You want to pew pew... just ask and there will surely be people willing to join you. I can't recommend them enough.
If your just looking to purely pew pew tho.. check out my sig for Star Trek Battles. A channel full of pew pew. You don't have to be in a fleet you could be in a fleet to join. There are some guidelines for the channel and it could be for you or not.
Good Luck in finding what your looking for in STO. Feel free to contact me in game for an invite to either my fleet or STB.
...I should really finish our fleets page in that case
I rather go on my own for now and collected all my own points. I will help out others who I see in trouble in these PVP, Enemy an etc. If I wanted to join a fleet that should be my option. They do need to have a button or something in the settings to block popup request.
I can be at the bank, exchange or mail and get these popups for fleet request. Most of them are not in English. They should check to see who they're sending request too.
Have fun!
Time will only tell!
I am reminded of a certain tale of contraband pastries that made its way to the Empire some time ago. Personally, I blame the Romulans. Always blame Romulans, for only they would stoop to such psychological warfare tactics of, "WANNA JOIN MY FLEET?!"
We don't want you so . . . join us?
It got to the point where I started my own and threw all my alts in there just to stop the spam invites, emails, PMs, etc. People usually don't bother you if you are either in a fleet already or have fleet invites blocked... but there are still some fleet poachers that try to convince you to leave and join them.
If you are still looking, make sure to look for a fleet that fits your playstyle... RP, PvE, and/or PvP and find out about their fleet project policies (if any). Some fleets promote by something simple as your own activty while others promote you based on how much you contribute. If you like the name, the atmosphere, the fact it has a website, voice chat, forums, etc. Then give it a try and see how it goes for you.
On the flip side, many fleets have instituded policies regarding fleet holding and bank access because there is a number of people who join fleets just to raid the fleet bank of anything useful and then move on to another fleet. These people (and others) will also join a fleet and buy up everything they can because the permissions for who can buy from fleet holdings were not set.
In that regard, I can understand why fleets have set up access restrictions for the lower-ranked members. I even had to set some restrictions in my fleets for that reason. I'd have people asking me to join, only to find out that they had wiped my fleet bank and left. It was then that I had to learn the hard way not to be so trusting. I generally trust people but had to make some changes to keep our fleet bank from being robbed by people I though were genuinely interested in joining.

be careful in these forums acting like a Klingon, the feddy bears outnumber us and will jump you LOL. so be prepared to fight!
All I can say is don't trust any fleet trying to recruit on the KDF side that uses federation avatars. they will never act like Klingons. Unless your only part time kdf or don't really like the empire.
message me in game @icsairguns we can talk a bit if you like and I can point you in the direction of a few decent KDF fleets depending on your playstyle.
and if you are a True Klingon Warrior not some Alien and like a little Klingon rp let me know .
and people who don't understand that those provisions that allow a fleet to have items to sell are very expensive. and allowing a person to join who may have hundreds, thousands or even millions of fleet credits saved up from someplace else can wipe out a small fleet. is not the type of person you should listen to.
I'm interested in an RP heavy KDF fleet. I am also new and would like help getting my feet under me. I'm interested in both PVE and PVP, bat'leth tournaments in particular. I am already having a difficult time with a specific boss in one of the episodes.
I'll pop on tonight so see if I can figure a few things out w/ altering my toon's appearance. I also have other questions that I'd love to post in the Academy forum, but I cannot yet posts new threads. Example: According to canon, how is the house of Mogh doing in the STO time? It might effect my character info since I'm rather partial to that house as a fan. See, a solid KDF fans would help with this stuff.
I will admit, I need to brush up on my tlingon.
If you want a fleet that will pve with you, The 101st Fleet has several helpful pve minded players. While a few of us pvp or spar, we don't force anyone to do it.
If you want, you can send me a mail to Brian@LordSCUM for an invite.
