Invite to Fleet

Invite to Fleet
When you see the magical line of "It's time to x up with your fit to get an invite to fleet" don't just sit there, x-up!

Wait... You don't know how to x-up? noob... I mean... uhh... Hi, here's a quick breakdown of how to x-up:

First, what does it mean to x-up? Broken down even further: Examples: How do I link my fit? zomg, really... I mean... Hi, here's a quick breakdown of how to link your fit: When do I x-up?
 * x-up is a general term in Eve where you provide a link to your fitting and describe the role you want to perform.
 * What ship are you flying?
 * What role does your ship do?
 * What roles do you want to do in fleet?  <---This will get you in faster sometimes.
 * How short can you make the link?  <---Some FC's don't like to read.
 * x NM 1000 DPS Sniper    <--- This is a nightmare that does 1000 dps as a sniper.
 * x Logi 5 Basi    <--- Logistics level 5 Basilisk Pilot
 * x 1400 Mac    <--- Arti 1400 Macharial
 * x Vindi DDD    <--- Vindicator that would like to be a drone bunny
 * x RNI Torp    <--- Sad little Raven Navy Issue torpedo boat  :(
 * 1) Open up your fitting window.  (Alt + F)
 * 2) Make sure TVP's chat window is open.
 * 3) Locate the name of your ship in the upper right hand corner of the fitting window.
 * 4) Click and drag the fitting name down to the chat window.
 * 5) Let go and press enter.


 * Remember that magical line I was talking about in the first sentence?  The Fleet Commanders will draw a line or something similar in the channel.  The line will usually contain what the fleet needs, but not always.  Link your fit as soon as possible.

Why does the FC need to see my fit?


 * First and foremost, to make sure you're not an idiot.  The FC will look at your fit and determine if your ship is fit correctly.  Sometimes the FC will ask you to change something on the fit to better suit what the fleet needs.

I've linked my fit... Y U NO INVITE ME?!


 * The Fleet Commanders are not obligated to send an invite to you just because you threw an x-up into TVP.  There are many different reasons as to why you didn't get an invite.  The fleet could be full, your ship's role is full, there is something wrong with your fit, personality clashes, etc.
