we have been talking about this with our friendly neighbors. it seems that the “my available fleets” option has displayed our alliance fleets whenever we had the standings function selected along with the alliance option. our discussion centered around recent awox incidents. what i have not articulated well is the desire to not make a fleet public just because the standings option is set, but rather to allow us to invite friendlies that we wish to have join. we would welcome an option in the fleet function that allows us to hide our fleets from public, or a way to add non alliance members by invitation only.
thanks for your consideration

ok, I feel we have just been misunderstanding each other so I’ll just state a few things that might clear up some of the misunderstanding

• If you only check the “open to alliance” checkbox
  → the fleet advert/link will be open to your alliance, no one else

• If you check the “open to alliance” checkbox and set the minimum required standings to +5,
  → the fleet will be open to your alliance members who you/your corp/your alliance has set to 5 or above (this also includes if the standings is to their corp/alliance). No one else should have access to the fleet through the advert/advert link.

• If you check the “open to alliance” checkbox and ‘Public Access’ with +5 standing requirements
  → the fleet advert/link is open to your entire alliance, in addition to the pilot who you/your corp/your alliance has 5 or above standings towards

• Even if the fleet is only “Open to Alliance”, other non-alliance characters can always be manually added to the fleet by those with the required fleet roles

• “My available fleets” should list all the fleets you can join through an advert, whether it’s because it’s open to all public, public with standings requirements, corp or alliance.

• the standings drop down next to “my available fleets” in the fleet finder is only for you to to filter the list and is based on your personal standings towards the fleet boss. It has nothing to do with how the fleet advert is set up (I know this is very misleading)

rather to allow us to invite friendlies that we wish to have join. we would welcome an option in the fleet function that allows us to hide our fleets from public, or a way to add non alliance members by invitation only.

The FC or the other commanders can always drag those few members into your fleet, or right click on them to invite them.

Edit: It’s worth mentioning that through the Fleetup you have greater control over the standing requirements. So if there are some that you trust more than others, the corp/alliance could for example set those to +5.1 rather then 5.0 and set the standing requirements in the fleet advert to 5.1.

Please let me know if I continue to misunderstand you or if you can spot where the misunderstanding lies
