 ===== Standing Fleet =====
-Standing Fleet is a specific fleet which, barring disconnects, is active at all times in Brave space. Standing Fleet is akin to a lobby but also acts as a defense force and an area to "stand" ready to fight or to interact with fellow Brave members. Standing Fleet is the first place any new member should visit both on comms and in-game in order to ask questions and be helped to access the various starter programs that Brave offers. Whenever you are online and doing things around our staging systems (mining, ratting, gate camps) you should join the standing fleet to have company and potential help.

 A fleet advert for Standing Fleet should always be up, if you are having issues finding the advert please ask in the Alliance or Corp channels in game or on the Standing Fleet comms channel.
-To find the advert open your fleet finder, this can be found under the "E" menu in the top left of your game window and then under the ''Social'' heading. With the fleet finder open you should see an advert with the words ''Legacy Catch Standing'' or ''Brave Impass Standing''. If you can't see the advert please ask in the relevant channels for help, the advert may be down. There are also standing fleets for areas that Brave holds minor territory in, and should be named appropriately for the region.

 === What Standing Fleet Is ===
-Standing fleet is, as mentioned, an in-game lobby of sorts where Brave members meet to chat and discuss both in-game and out of game topics. Standing Fleet is also an EVE "Fleet" this means it has some mechanics aimed at helping you fight, explore or make money with the help of others. The first and arguably most important function of Standing Fleet is system/area defence. Eve is a dangerous game and Brave space is no different, marauding gangs will often come through or to our space looking for good fights or to pick off isolated Brave members who may be ratting, mining etc... Standing Fleet acts as both a deterrent and an active force to stop and remove these gangs. Standing fleet also acts as a rally point for other fleets. Standing comms is often the first place that an FC announces their fleet and so it is a good place to stay in the loop about upcoming events and to ask what ships the FC would like etc.. Standing Fleet is **the** place to find out about PVP and engage in it. As mentioned before, Standing serves a protective role, this means that if you are Ratting, Mining or in Brave space at all you should **always** be in Standing Fleet unless you are in another fleet. This provides protection for you and also lets you hear of any fun fleets or events that are taking place. This isn't a requirement of Brave but is a strong recommendation in order to get the most out of Eve.

 === What Standing Fleet Is Not ===
-Standing Fleet is not your personal security guard and it is not invincible. There will be times when Standing Fleet refuses to come help you because of the huge amount of enemies present. Unfortunately maths is universal, even in EVE one hundred is bigger than ten. You must also remember that every capsuleer in Standing Fleet is there for their own enjoyment or may be AFK, watching another screen and so on... They aren't waiting in station for you to call for help, you must take some responsibility for your own ships.

-Finally Standing Fleet is not your personal fleet to command. Standing Fleet does not have an official FC to give orders. Often a tagged FC or experienced player will assume command of Standing to rally it for defence but please do not ask Standing Fleet to roam the Eve Universe or expect them to follow your every order. Standing is a special place, if you are interesting in FCing we recommend you approach a tagged member of Brave (FC/Dojo etc..), experience player or indeed put a fleet up in your own name.

 ==== Standing Fleet Communication ====
@@ Line 54: / Line 53: @@
 Since Standing is a relaxed fleet you are not expected to wait around for enemies to appear, having said that if you are in Standing Fleet and nearby it really helps if you do respond, even in a frigate. Once the intel has been given and you see the ''xxx'' in fleet you should undock and warp to the person who "dropped the X's". If in doubt please ask on comms and someone will help you get in the right ship and get to the right place. During the fight and even the warp-in you should closely monitor the Local chat channel. If the player count rises significantly ("spikes") then you should abort the rescue mission. Chances are that the enemy has a large fleet waiting to drop on Standing Fleet in which case it's much better to leave one miner to die than to lose 20.
+=== Shut the Fuck Up ===
+This is a previously unwritten etiquette of standing fleet.
+Standing fleet is often space lobby.  It can be noisy, chaotic, funny, exciting, entertaining, intimidating, or annoying.  Sometimes we all need to remember to shut the fuck up.  This means giving others space to ask for help, or ask for questions.  Strive to explain if you don't know the answer, who may (for instance #dojo in slack) or if you can't try to help someone because they're too far away, let them know that too.
+If the main channel is too noisy, there are a number of connected channels including the combat and social channels.  If you're looking for just pvp and Intel, feel free to drop down to the combat channel, which you can 'shout' intels to all connected channels.
+And if you need to debate how tacos are the best food for any meal or other random topic for an extended period, please drop down to the social channel.  You can 'shout' to other channels from here as well.
+For those who need a quieter experience, the quiet channel is linked for shouting Intel only and with no local chatter.
 ==== Ships and Fittings ====
 The ideal ships for Standing Fleet are either non-committal (ie giving you the ability to quickly disengage) or relatively cheap. For this reason you should not take anything larger than a Tech 1 cruiser when warping to X's unless you are absolutely sure of the situation you are about to jump in to. Fast frigates and high damage destroyers are excellent ships to use for newer players.
+<alert type="danger"><TEXT align="center">
+**Fleet Doctrines Should Only Be Used In Fleet Environments!**
+Most of these ships and their fittings are not suitable for solo fighting. We recommend consulting another page or resource, or asking on Slack if you're interested in solo ship fittings.

 === PVP ===
-If everyone understands the above, then PVP can get more organized and useful. Calling what you XXX, what you WWW, goes a long way towards getting a better response. Newbros, if you want fighting experience, then Standing Fleet is a great way to do it. If we're in GE-8JV for the day, lock down those gates, and call out enemies that enter and leave the system. Tackle. Ewar. Holy hell, you make a huge difference in a fight. Don't ever feel you don't. Don't have any ships? Ask Dojo or in standing comms. Someone is always willing to help.

 I hope this gives you a better understanding of how Standing works and helps you survive long enough to learn.
