Be they spoken or unspoken, piratical or imperial, prescriptive or restrictive, the rules of fleet-ups maintain order. That order leads to efficiency and killing power. We want you to share your top do's and don'ts for participating in a fleet.

Different FCs, fleets, and organisations have their own way of doing things. So we recommend that you share either widely agreed upon rules of etiquette and/or rules that you think are especially judicious.

You're allowed to include as many or as few rules as you like in your bounty submission, but there will only be prize per member. That is to say, sharing 50 rules will not win you 50 prizes - even if they're all brilliant.

Once we've chosen the winners, we hope to turn these etiquette tips and rules into a fresh-pilot fleet-up guide. So try to keep your language and guidance beginner-friendly, and explain why your rule helps the fleet.

Task: Give us an example of good fleet etiquette
