In EVE Online, forming up large fleets and keeping up with requests to join existing fleets has always been a chore. The Trinity 1.1 patch helped by adding the ability to post a links in chat channels that let anyone in the alliance join. Fleet Links takes these links and stores them in a website so your alliance mates merely have to open the in-game browser (IGB) to get into fleet.
You need a web server with PHP and a database server running MySql. Use database.sql to create the tables and put your database connection information into config.php.
The site assumes anyone using it is in an alliance. Any fleet added by someone in a non-alliance corporation gets grouped in the “None” alliance.
While the site does prevent players from deleting other alliance’s fleets, this provides minimal protection.
- Stronger security and logging
- Integration with op-tracking systems
