| Fleets tend to be fairly organized affairs, similar to raids in a game like WoW. However unlike in raids, most of the complexity of fleets is managed by the Fleet Commanders, and the skill/experience barriers to entry are pretty much nonexistent. Almost all fleets in Brave are accessible to new players. | Fleets tend to be fairly organized affairs, similar to raids in a game like WoW.
