Fleet Grouping

Fleets auto-group ships sharing a region, system, sector, type, and status; any ship can opt out to fly solo, and armed ships can assist in a fight.

Fleets auto-group ships sharing a region, system, sector, type, and status; any ship can opt out to fly solo, and armed ships can assist in a fight.

Ships that share a place share a fight, unless you say otherwise.

Automatic Grouping

Fleets form on their own: ships sharing the same region, system, sector, type, and status group together automatically, no setup required. Move a ship into that same company and it joins the formation; move it out and it splits away just as automatically.

Solo Ops and Mutual Aid

Any ship can opt out of its fleet to act alone. Grouped or not, armed ships still watch each other's backs: assist lets an ally auto-join a fight already underway, turning isolated hulls into a formation that fights as one.

By the Numbers

  • Auto-grouping criteria — 5
Fleet membership updates live, no tick required. Ships merge into a formation the instant their region, system, sector, type, and status match, and split the instant one moves or opts out.
