Fleet Menu
Fleet Status
This page is used to check on the status of your ships. If you're the ADF General it also shows you the status of all ships your allies have added to the ADF {Alliance Defence Force}. The first section shows either nothing or a flag and this is to show whether a ship is in the ADF or not. Next to that is the name of the ship or fleet. You then have the number of ships in the fleet, followed by the planet they are stationed on or heading towards. Arrival shows either the time till they arrive at the planet or it will say In system if they aren't moving. Integrity shows how damaged the fleet is as a whole. To see the individual ships in a fleet click on view on the far left of the page. If a fleet is stationary and movable, clicking on the fleet name will allow you to move the fleets on that planet as you would from the Fleet Control page. If the fleet is moving or in battle clicking on it's name allows you to set it's orders.
Fleet Control
At the top of the page you can see how many of each ship you have and how many kills you have for each type. It also shows the ore/production cost for your total ships and also how many ships and kills you have overall. Below the fleet orders section is another drop down menu that allows you to set either one of your planets or an allies planet to rally newly built ships on. The next section is Fleet Orders. This will allow you to set orders for all individual, stationary fleets. Click on the fleet name and click the button then set the orders you want

Also on the Orders page is a drop down menu to pick your retreat planet and 2 check boxes to add ships to the ADF and to apply orders to all stationary fleets. Next on Fleet Control is a drop down menu to pick a rally point for newly built ships to go to. At the very bottom is a drop down menu showing all the planets you have movable ships on. It also shows ADFed ships if you are the alliances General. Again, simply use the drop down menu to pick a planet. You can now also set your fleets to go to up to 4 planets with 1 move order. For this there are 3 extra drop down menus. At the bottom of the move page is another section for setting orders.
Merge Fleet
This page allows you to pick fleets to split or ships to merge. Use the first menu to pick a planet to merge on or the second to pick a feet to split. It also shows you your total number of ships and total number of fleets. Remember, a single unfleeted ship counts as 1 fleet.
Build Starship
This page allows you to pick a planet to build a starship on provided you have a planet free to build on. You can only choose to build if you have no ships building at the planet you want to build on. For a more in depth guide to the ship building process, read the Ship Building Interface page.
Clone Starship
This page allows you to clone a previously built starship. First pick a ship type to clone from the menu. Once you've done that pick a planet to clone on. You can clone up to 10 ships per planet at a time but they will build one after the other, not all at once on each planet. below that section it shows the overall time to build all the ships as well as the overall cost in ore/production. The 2 check boxes allow you to send the ships automatically to the rally point and also to assign your ships automatically to the ADF. We now also have Dynamic cloning settings which lets you filter how you can choose your planets.
Fleet Officers
You can choose up to 2 officers to buy on this page and you get to name them yourselves. The officers can only work with 1 fleet at a time and both cannot be assigned to the same fleet. The coloured bars show how many skill points the officer has. To the left of that is a table that shows how many kills your officer has and how many skill points your officer has unused. The more kills your officer gets the more skill points he gets. The table also shows your officers rank which will go up the more kills you get. To assign a fleet, pick a fleet from the menu and click the "Assign fleet" button. To assign skill points which will give your fleet bonuses either in evasion, accuracy or damage check the box on the skill you want the point to go on and click the button to assign points.
