Hi everybody!! I'm new to this site and game and I have a few questions. I'm hoping you guys can answer them for me.
1. What do fleets do and how do I join one?
2. what is the difference between fleet and team?
3. how do I interact with the other online players?

2. fleet is a guild/clan, team is a party.
3. in game chat or mail.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
1. Fleets are supposed to be guilds like in other MMOs. However in practice here they are gear stores. To join a Fleet, ask someone in that Fleet.
2. A Team is a mission specific group of players for STFs or missions which is usually five in number. Teams can be premade by everyone joining up prior to beginning the mission. Joining a STF as a solo player places you into a PickUp Group, or "PUG".
The quality and ability of the other players in one of these can vary wildly.
3. Ingame, use the ChatBox. Some Fleets use TeamSpeak or Discord or some other VOIP program.
1 permission to buy fleet stuff, usually acquired by reaching the second rank in a fleet, most fleets grant a promotion with about 50k fleet credits earned, though there have been some reports of bad fleets on the console side.
2 Your fleet has 'fleet provisions', one is used per item bought, they are created by the fleet completing specific projects within the fleet holdings system and the stock can be easily checked.
3 The necessary dil and fleet credits to make the purchase.
4 An invitation to visit and shop, literally someone has to take a character to their relevant facility and issue an invite to your account.
* start you own fleet and expect it never to get finished, teir 4 and 5 of the starbase are insanely expensive and timegated to take a long time, even throwing real world money at it will take a couple of years.
2) A Fleet is essentially a Guild, whereas a team is a more temporary arrangement, where players come together to accomplish particular goals. Certain missions in the game do require more than one player in order to play; for example, the PVE queues.
3) Once you have logged 20 hours of playtime, you should be able to use the chat features without any restrictions
