The Fleet Ops Division (FOD) team has spent a lot of time crafting this Guide to Fleet Announcements to ensure you have all the information you need in order to head to the correct formup station at the correct time in the correct ship.

To maximize your fun and minimize the number of times you will get chewed out, here are five key pieces of information to look for:

Difficulty Level

You will find said scale here; it will help you determine whether you're ready to participate in a particular fleet operation. (e.g: If it's an intermediate level and you have no Sleeper combat experience, you should probably skip it and wait for the next C3 Training Fleet.)

Date, Time and Formup Station

Our FCs undock on time and will not wait for you if you are late. You should be in the formup station in your fully fitted fleet ship with everything you need in cargo no later than five (5) minutes prior to undock time. Plan ahead and don't make others wait for you.

Doctrine

Our fittings guys and gals have devoted a substantial amount of time developing these doctrines. These guys and gals know way more about how ships work than you or we ever will. The FOD team trusts them with our lives, and you should too. Don't second-guess them, and don't ask to bring something that is not part of the doctrine. You can find a visual guide to all FOD doctrines here. If you don't see a picture of the ship you want to bring shown under the doctrine the fleet is running, you cannot bring it. It is either underpowered / undertanked / not compatible with Logi / unable to keep up with the fleet / too big to fit through the hole / etc. If you are scouting and the fleet op announcement says cloaky frig, you cannot bring a Stratios. You cannot salvage in a Heron. Don't ask - the answer will be no.

Loaner Ships

FOD has a selection of ships available for you to use on our fleet ops. If you would like to use one of our loaner ships, you need to let us know ahead of time so we can reserve one for you and make sure it's repped, prepped, and ready to go. For fleets departing from Zoohen - Theology Council, loaner ships will be distributed 30 minutes prior to undock. For fleets departing from other stations, ships will be distributed at Zoohen - Theology Council within 12 to 24 hours of undock; you will be responsible for getting your loaner ship to the formup station and returning it to Zoohen-Theology Council at the conclusion of the fleet op.

Notes

If there are particular instructions or specific information for the fleet op, it will be provided in this section.
