That’s why you don’t prepare the ships centrally if that’s such a chore, but tell the fleet members to prepare their own ships. Or transfer them once, and tell members to replace lost ships themselves so the ‘distribution chore’ happens only once instead of every fleet. ---

Have you asked? It sounds like your alliance - which is rather new - is still in the process of learning things that others have solved already. They may like to learn something new that could significantly shorten the preparation time at the start of fleets, which you will need if you ever start doing defence fleets in response to incoming enemies, or responsive offensive fleets when an opportunity presents itself. ---

You’re in Absolute Order right? It’s only last year I heard about them for the first time. They have no sovereignty and have trouble getting a fleet ready without commsnders personally handing out ships to everyone. I think they’re pretty new. ---

You tell those 150 members in advance to have the ship ready, sell the ships on your market and pay SRP for everyone who loses one. You could even outsource stocking the market to your industry players! ---

Then you tell these new players they can contact some people in the corporation for free handout ships. In advance, so you don’t have to hand out 150 ships while you want to undock a fleet. And give them multiple ships so they last a while. That’s how we do it. ---

That’s why they ask for free handouts from a few members of the alliance who have the role to access free handout ships. In advance, so those new players without ISK too have a ship ready to go before the fleet.
