Same problem here, is there a default filter against neutral people who aren't a member of my alliance or something? I find it hard to believe that not a single person in all of EvE has an open fleet...

Firstly, it only applies to the region you're currently in - so it's "not a single person in your region"
Secondly, successful eve players are only slightly more paranoid than a dog with 8 tails in a tapdance studio. Inviting random strangers into your fleet tends to be a no-no on general principal.
In low security space, sure. In high security space, what are they going to do? Suicide gank me in what would require at least a battleship class, or tech 2 cruiser +, to be able to break my drake's tank? And in the amount of time before concord gets there.
There's no real danger in high-sec space unless you're flying something EXTREMELY profitable. And even then... (this is something I highly disagree with, safe zones with CONCORD guards that spawn and can't even be targeted).

Indeed. I don't understand why they went against the sandbox design (total freedom) but eh.

Indeed. It does nothing for the lone wolf to temporarily find allies to hunt with.

Originally by: Nebetsu Seems kind of lame. It would be a lot better if it let you search out random fleets. :P
It'd be an intel tool then. I'm sure that would've worked out badly.
It would only work for fleets which have it set to "public".
Simple enough.

Oh and I have the filter set to 'all', not 'region'.
Um..if you invite said BS or T2 cruiser into your fleet they can shoot you w/ no concordination. That is why people are paranoid about fleeting up with random people.
What are you talking about?
You cannot attack fleet members without being concorded, unless they are in your corporation (which you won't need a fleet to attack them in the first place). The only exception is if you are in low security space.
High security space is, like I said, almost 100% safe. Being paranoid there is not a requirement for survival anymore.

Originally by: Shasta Racka what about the npc corp?
Does it work in it?
If so, there's still the problem of actually having to quit your own corp to get anything near the semblance of a global fleet finder.
