Nice news.

Do you need to be a fleet leader account for applying for access?

Do you know if it will be limited to 1 account per fleet or more?

The intent conveyed to me is 1 account per fleet that is the Fleet Leader account, which will be approved through an application for access and then will be monitored to ensured only the Fleet Leader is posting in that area.  I get that may cause some issues with fleets where the fleet leader is not necessarily the account that has the Fleet status and we will probably have to do some tieing together of data (not physically but noted). 

So for instance you could technically say I am the Fleet Leader of TeamNF but my account is not the fleet account, there is another one for that purpose.  I know a few fleets have set up this way so that any future change of fleet leader does not mean a whole reform etc.  In those instances I would see (To Be Confirmed) that the Fleet Leader would use the Fleet Account for access to the fleet leader area, but we would know who was the Fleet Leader and what there actual playing account ID was.  Any changes to the Fleet Leader position would then need to notified to avoid having access removed when we see somone different posting.  Hopefully that explanation makes sense?

Thanks Vick, hope to see that forum WORK

Cracko,  I know what you mean and that might be covered by the formal notification of change of Fleet Leader, so we know who it is posting on the account that is actually tagged as the Fleet Leader.  There are details to be worked up, but I dont think it is insurmountable.

We went through this last time you set up the area. There needs to be room for CO's and a number of XO's.

Having a single account is a mistake. What happens in the leader is away for a few days? 

There was the issue of people making fake fleets, and the permissions not being removed for people who were a leader and were kicked/left that fleet.

I've been saying there needs to be rules there for a long time, given at how people were allowed to flat out flame me there. However, the rules should allow for critisism of SDE and TNF (within reason; No swearing/personal vendetta's).

It should also be known who the actual fleet leader for each fleet is. 

And you should do fleet leader meetings with a member of SDE attending. 

Good to hear Vick.  See what I mean by actually talking it out, good things can happen.

LJ, Vick did say its a starting point.  Let them make sure true fleets and its leaders sign up and then XO's can be added in.

Overall it still kind of seems like two steps back ward, one step forward.

This should have happened without having to take the whole thing down imo. As far as the whole ghosting fleet times, I think TNF should have just looked into the fleet applying at the time to get permission to use that area and screened them as a fleet a lot better.

I know all is easier said than done, but all of this could have been avoided and that's why it still at least somewhat seems like two steps backward one step forward.

LJ what he means is:
Start from this, then work to have something better. but at least start
if vick find more "trustable" only FL, let the forum begin with this, then if he see some issue with one per one, he can implement access for xo after
