I want to turn of the automatic opening of the Watch List window when I form a fleet.
Can’t find any option in the UI settings, in the Fleet Setup options, or in the Watch List window itself.
Any ideas?

I second this. It should only appear if we want it to.

This change results in, typically, 15+ additional mouse clicks per day minimum, 25 additional clicks per day (average); and 45+ additional clicks per day maximum… to close the Watch List. Those are clicks which were not necessary previously. Keep in mind that a click also involves repositioning of a mouse pointer across multiple HD displays. It’s like free Plex only different.
If I could reciprocate with such Christmas gift giving, I would do so by inserting a Microsoft Office Clippy into the implementor’s Eve Online clients. It wouldn’t be as comparable though since, at least with Clippy, the installation was optional.
If the developers insist upon keeping this change, please consider adding an option to Not open the Watch List whenever the Fleet Window opens. Thank you.

I’ve not found a way and it frankly drives me crazy. When setting up hauling fleets I’m now closing the watchlist on 2 clients AND dragging the one member into a watchlist on the third. so 2 clicks as and drag / right click vs before just a single “right click “ to add to watchlist for the one character that needed it. Is it a huge deal? no. Is it annoying as heck as I repeat this process a dozen times a day - YES!
Yeah, those first two windows that pop up when you join a fleet are fine, but that third and smallest one is what really pisses me off, too!
Three pop ups are just one too many, right?

I agree. It makes sense why they’d add it, but it only makes sense for a fraction of all fleets being made. By making logi pilots happy, they’ve annoyed everyone else who doesn’t use it. Mining fleets for instance are now afflicted with this feature. I don’t see why they couldn’t just make it an option to toggle. It seems like a pretty reasonable ask.

Every member of every fleet should have the FC watchlisted, at the very least. You’re anchoring on them all the time, so it’s easier to have them watchlisted than to have to find them in a chat window or on overview.
