In my opinion , I think people who make fleets for their " personal use for bank " should not even be allowed at all in the game . They are bring selfish and taking the short cut on not buying the account bank slots in the Zen store ( which is not that much at all ) .
There should be a rule in the Terms about making fleets for personal use and prohibit that .

tl:dr version for the attention span - impaired: Why you mad, bro?
I am still interested in hearing the rest of the story behind this thread.
So to me it would seem the downside is greater than the upside for creating a fleet just to gain bank slots...
Actually early on we had overflow issues in our Fleet banks after maxing them out. so I created (with some of my allies from the main fleet) as an auxiliary fleet to handle any overflow including alts that people might want to rotate in an out of the main. It currently has one member to be book keeper, and is mostly just a sink for donations that won't fit into the main fleets project at the time. Thank the devs for the Armada system!
Even still it looks like, and is in existent fact, a solo fleet at this time. So the OP would like to see a mechanic imposed on those of us who wanted the auxiliary in the first place, that would take our support Fleet away, just because it has a single toon?
This is a case where I feel justified in saying to the OP, "mind your own business."
Unless solo fleets are somehow ruining the game for someone on more than an aesthetic level this complaint is ... well, pointless.
Qapla'!
I just said if your doing it solely to earn extra bank slots just for yourself you're likely to loose out more than gain not that I care if people choose to do that...
And this was long before any of the current Fleet functions were even thought of or added to the game.
I've also bought the Maximum number of Bank/Inventory slots for all of my toons except my current AoY one.
(including my Klingon toon who isn't even in a Fleet)
SO..., your reasoning for denying anybody a Fleet is nonsense, since you don't know the circumstances behind each and every STO player's thoughts or actions on this matter.
Why don't you get off that "High Horse" you rode in on..., and shove it where all the stars in the game, don't shine.

OH, yeah, sorry, I could have done that post better.
I meant that you are right basically, It is a lot of extra trouble for just a vanity item, It should be useful to justify the effort to even get five people together.
We are cool my friend!
Qapla'!
Stop by the 5th Fleet website for info and recruitment;

The more people in vanity Fleets, the fewer who are available to join a larger fleet and work together.
I don't care myself. IMHO the solo fleets are still good for Armadas to donate to, help players learn about Fleet mechanics where it only harms themselves if they make a big mistake, and then if they want to be more active, they may start recruiting for themselves.
Anyway, yeah, this isn't really even a topic imho and it should just fade away gently .......
Qapla'!
I've had to leave fleets where no matter how much you contributed the rules kept changing and it became clear that the leaders were favoring themselves and their closest buddies to the exclusion of everyone else. I have a fleet admiral who a couple of months in is still the bottom grunt level in one fleet despite active daily contributions that I've lost count of? I've left a couple that just seemed to be about spinning the wheel too.
The admiralty system, duty officer hauls, dilithium and energy credits I don't mind poneying up to fleet holdings daily. I also don't mind contributing stuff to the fleet bank, but thus far doing so seems utterly pointless to me.
On a different note, this weekend I was running my latest character [a Romulan] and getting slammed by the Elachi content something fierce. No matter how many pleas in chat on local or zone for aid, and also emails to a half dozen different fleets requesting membership went unheeded. I felt like I must have been the only one in that whole universe for the better part of 48 hours? I got through and completed Vengeance, but damn - just saying.
Also, if all you other guys actually need to have all the buyable slots plus a fleet bank to yourself, you must have a lot of stuff. What gives?
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
Now you say that that's a pretty good idea I think I'm going to do that until I get more members
