6 weeks ago I joined EVE with 2 friends. The idea was that I would specialized in Leadership so as to give bonus when we work as a group. So far it has been disappointing.
Since then I learned that 'Gangs' don't give bonuses. In fact it seems that since the Trinity update there's no more Gang - when grouped, ships can only form a Fleet.
Right now I'm Wing Commander Level 3. When we're the 3 of us, I'm Wing Commander. The little light goes green for my 2 friends under me in Squad - but it does not seem they receive bonus at all - their stats and attributes don't change.
The closest I've come to make sense of this is when I read that for a fleet to give bonus, it must have a Fleet Commander, that is a player with the Fleet Command Skill. Which is $18M, a considerable investment to make at this stage, not to mention the time investment.
I spent lots of time looking in these forums but never found a proper answer. The Knowledge Base article seems outdated, since Gang had been phased out. The Trinity patch notes don't mention anything about Fleet, even though the interface changed considerably.
My question today: is there a great link on Fleet rules?
Is it absolutely a muct to have Fleet Command to give bonuses when in Fleet mode?
Has gangs been phased out?
(I know about http://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=166 but find it lacking).
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for your answer! Here are my skills in the Leadership category:
L4: Armored Warfare / Rank 2 / SP: 90510 of 512000
L2: Information Warfare / Rank 2 / SP: 2829 of 16000
L5: Leadership / Rank 1 / SP: 256000 of 256000
L2: Siege Warfare / Rank 2 / SP: 2829 of 16000
L3: Skirmish Warfare / Rank 2 / SP: 16000 of 90510
L1: Wing Command / Rank 8 / SP: 3265 of 11314
Not sure what Rank means, I think it's about the training time modifier. And I added the Level I'm at L1-2-3 etc.
So you're saying that when there's a green light, the bonuses are given? Somehow my friends don't see their attributes change. Shield should go 4% up (due to Siege Warfare level 2, giving a 2% shield bonus per level) but it does not show... Unless it's effective, but 'hidden'?
