Working through the changes to Fleet Management in the order in which the Dev Log lists them, here are explanations of the changes, and how to use them.
You may only change the faction of your fleet once every seven (7) days. If your fleet's faction has changed in the last seven days, instead of the Faction selection drop-down box, you are simply notified of the fact that you cannot yet change your faction. Once the eighth day begins, the drop-down box returns.
There is now an additional check box in the Edit Fleet screen that allows Fleet Admins to be notified if members leave their fleet (in addition to the default of joining). Simply check the box to enable these notifications.
Fleet Admins may now choose their method of notification for joinings and leavings of members. The options are notification via Email, Private Message (within the forums), or None (no notifications). This may be selected via the drop-down box in the Edit Fleet screen.
Within the Edit Fleet screen, there is a new line which allows Fleets to set a custom message. This message defaults to Recruitment Status, where you can specify if you are open, closed, or perhaps specify a minimum rank. However, both the name of the field, as well as the text can be changed to fit your fleet. Also, both fields need to contain text for it to be shown on the Fleet page; leaving the text blank will cause it to be hidden.
Fleet creators are considered "Founders," a step above Fleet Admins. While the Founder has no additional commands or powers, they are immune from removal from the Fleet. That is, no other Admins are able to Demote or Delete them.
Only the person who initially created the Fleet can be its Founder. There is no way to promote someone else to a Founder. Additionally, if a Founder leaves a Fleet, they lose their Founder status, and will not regain it by joining the Fleet again.
For Fleets already in existance at the time of this patch, there currently are no Founders. However, if all the Fleet Admins agree, a Founder can be added; have all the Fleet Admins in your Fleet send Shigernafy (@29) a message, either via chat or the forums, and Founder status will be granted. Only one person per Fleet can be made a Founder.
Only other Fleet Admins can identify a Founder; there are no colors or stars or titles of nobility to otherwise identify them. However, Fleet Admins will see only "Founder", instead of [Demote] [Delete], when they view their Fleet.
Hopefully this post explains the changes to Fleet Management completely. If you have any questions, or commendations, feel free to Reply here, or talk to Shigernafy in chat.
