 NOTE:  This is a WIP

Announcing a fleet? First of all, thank you! Please follow these recommendations.

Use Our Fleet Announcement Template

  1. Create a new post in the Fleets and Events section of our forums.
  2. Copy the raw Markdown text in the gray box below and edit to suit. The text inside the square brackets should all be replaced. Be careful about the two-space breaks at the end of lines.
  3. Use <https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/> to get a time converter link to paste in. Use "UTC" for the "location" there, along with the UTC date and time. If the fleet day is different in UTC than in US timezone because wrap, point it out in the announcement to avoid confusion. The EVE Year can be obtained by adding 102 to the last three digits of the out-of-game year: 2017 is YC119, for example.
**Fleet Name:** [fleet name]  
**Fleet Purpose:** [fleet purpose]  
**Target Audience:** [target audience]  
**Date:** [weekday], [day] [month-name] [eve year] ([year])  
**Time:** [24-hour UTC Time] EVE ([Local Time]([link to time converter]))  
**Duration:** [duration]  
**Formup:** [station system and name, keep opsec in mind]  
**Destination:** [system name, keep opsec in mind]  
**FC:** [fleet commander]  
**Comms:** [FLEET x on discord]
**Voice:** [required/optional] 
**Doctrine:** [what kind of ships and equipment to bring]  
**Fit:** [what kind of fit is appropriate]  

[Detailed instructions]

Please arrive early (or at least on time). We have a tight schedule.

Hope to see you there! If you have any questions, just ask in a comment below.

Time Zone Converter

Hello there, all current and future FCs are invited to use [this](https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) time converter when setting up a fleet since the one we used to use has been long discontinued and most of those I have seen around the internet are way too convoluted for what they do.

  • (in this instance, it accurately picks up on the fact that I am UTC+1)*
