| − | '''Fleet Finder''' is a tool which allows [[pod pilot|pod pilots]] to create an advert for their [[fleet|fleets]], which will allow others to find and join their fleet without needing to be specifically invited to it. The fleet boss can specify who is allowed to see the advert and, thus join the fleet.

| − | [[Image:Findfleets.PNG|A fleet advert|right|thumb]]The fleet finder window allows pilots to specify what fleets they are looking for using the 'scope', 'range' and 'standing' filters along the top of the window. To join a fleet they then simply need to right click the advert they are interested in and request to join it. Some fleets require specific approval from the [[Fleet Commander|FC]] for those wanting to join, others will allow others to join without needing approval.

| − | The fleet advert will show who the fleet boss is as well as the name and description of the fleet as chosen when the fleet advert. Optionally the fleet advert can also be made to show how many pilots are currently in the fleet. However this information can be hidden during creation of the advert. This is often done where the requirements for seeing the advert are quite broad and it is desirable to not give too much information about the fleet to potential [[spy|spies]].

| − | All fleets must have a name. Optionally they may also have a description giving more detail about what the fleet is for. There are options to specify whether the fleet should be available to those in the Fleet Boss's corporation or alliance or whether access should be based on his [[standings|derived standings]]. It is also possible to base access on a player's security status.

| − | The fleet boss may choose to approve each individual request to join the fleet or whether each request should be automatically approved. It is also possible to 'hide details' which on the fleet advert will hide the number of people currently in the fleet. This is often done when the boss wants to prevent possible spies from using the fleet finder advert to find out sensitive information about the fleet without needing to actually join it.
