I am a returning player and have not played in a long time but my some friends of my started to play on the PC again so I have too. We were thinking of starting a fleet to share stuff and for some more stuff to do in game. I noticed in general chat player *REMOVED PER FORUM RULES* said he was selling his fleet in General chat so I thought it would be cool for me and my friends. Anyway to keep a long story short he took my money and ran. Since I have returned the general community has been super nice and helpful to me and this put me in a trusting more than I should state. I don't know if I will get any of my money back but more importantly I wanted to make sure he couldn't rip off anyone else...This type of thing makes the community less trusting and less nice to players that are returning like me or new to the game. So I am posting this to help anyone else that I can not be taken advantage of like I was. I want to return the good where I can.
Again Player name is
*REMOVED PER FORUM RULES*
Fleet he is "selling"
Royal Navy Command first fleet

Anything you can't sell via the Exchange or via the Trade Window is suspicious.

b) As I understand it, selling a Fleet as you describe is not possible in the game.
c) Edit your post to remove the player name and take this up with the Devs. This is considered "Naming and Shaming" and is against forum rules.
just a side note shaming wasn't my intent...just wanted to help people
A fleet cannot be sold, what you can have happen is be invited to join and then promoted to the top and have the existing owner leave. Payment for this is probably against terms and conditions.
And frankly I'm happy where I am in my fleet.
A possible legitimate reason for selling a Fleet is due to everyone in the Fleet not playing anymore. If no one has played for 6 months or more, then it gives good reason to sell the Fleet.
Would be better to just disband then honestly. Why sell a dead fleet if no one cares about it anymore?

If you and your friends are still looking for a fleet, I run a very casual FED fleet that's Lvl 60, and in a decent armada. You can do your own thing without any obligations (bar requirements for promotions). Just send me a message ingame if you're interested.
Yes... but if they are planning on quitting the game too... what use is that wad of ECs to someone not going to play? There is that potential angle too.
The fact of the matter is, there are shady people out there wanting to take advantage of people for their own personal gain.
I never do person to person private trades if the item i want isnt on the exchange then to hell with it.
Tell that to the KDF fleet I'm in...
Well, if there are still decent fleet holdings in them, it might be of interest. The question is really what the seller gets out of it - he could just let the people that wish to buy it join the fleet. Promote them to highest rank and let them do their thing.
if he doesn't want to play anymore, anything given to him ingame is without value.
