Possible additional too;

Do you think it would be possible to add a tool 

that would let you see who/what ships are in the fleet currently 

running, this would allow better X up responsiveness to the 

current needs of the fleet, and good general information. 

Hope others think so, and talk to you all soon.

When I'm FC, I have this information... and I don't know what ships I'm going to need until five seconds before I hit "INVITE." If fleet's not full, we take whoever x-es up, as fast as we can check fits. If fleet IS full, it depends on who leaves, and then I need to get replacements ASAP.

Please, if you've got more than one ship available, x-up with everything.

I agree with imelda. When people ask me what fleet needs my response is usually xup with everything because i could have a full logi squad and tell you i need DPS but then 4 logi leave and i need more logi. Xing up with everything you have on you technically makes fleets run faster in the long run and makes the FCs job easier.

i concure with the above stated, usually you wont know what you need in fleet till people leave fleet, as helpful as a tool might be, it would be more work then necessary. no matter what you will always be able to make isk and have fun though.

When you X up with more than one fit and get the invite how do you know which fit to bring? For the life of me I can not figure that out

 

[niki lasvegas 537]

After you get into the fleet, you look at what squad you are in, and there you go basically.

If you x-d up 2 ships of the same squad, then just ask FC (e.g. Basi or Scimi).

Advanced tactics:
Sometimes if you are cunning enough, you look at your x-ups before you accept the sent invitation, and see if the FC approved everything, or just 1 of your fits and conclude.
The last tip is if you are invited as a logi then look up at combat caps and remote TC  links currently in fleet and you can also go by that.

In addition to what Niki said: If your Teamspeak name matches your in-game name, you should get a poke along the lines of "you were invited as [DPS/Sniper/logi]"
