Requesting CSM to push CCP to have members joining a fleet from a top down approach:
Members that have leadership V are thrown into leadership positions automatically. (requesting that wing and fleet positions are not automatically filled)
and members that join fleet are placed in the first squad first, when that squad is filled the second squad is to be filled next. (opposed to how it is now that the newest member joins the last squad.)

A button that creates a full 5 wings with 5 squads each would be useful too!

You're forgetting the most important part, bonuses are sometimes not applied and wing commanders don't get FC bonuses.

I'm for changes to Fleet Hierarchy, but not autofilling FC positions with people who happen to have the skill. By skill, I means skills trained, not necessarily actual skill. FCs need actual skill, and should be selected.

I've got near excellent Leadership skills, but I'm not highly experienced at being an FC, and would probably end up just filling the role of a booster in most fleets. At least until I'd gained some experience and people determined that I might fill the role properly.

Fleet Hierarchy could use some changes along with the basic Fleet mechanics though. Wouldn't even hurt to add some skills to that area to go along with it.

I'd bump Fleet Structure to allow Fleets to link under one Commander, and give hierarchy some buffs. Perhaps even make Fleet Commanders and Leaders more visible on the overview, and make it so there is a hierarchy to UI commands from FCs in a Fleet.

Definitely not for autofilling roles randomly though. What I would like to see is a method of saving Fleet structure. Basically, form a Fleet, then load a preset and then fill spaces left by members who happen to be offline or unavailable. So all your boosters and Wing Commanders and Squads and such get filled by the same members as the preset saved when you set it if they are available.

That way, you just need to move a few people around and fill a couple roles, then make sure everybody has a position in the fleet, rather than building the whole thing from scratch every time.

How about we just do away with the structural requirement and just have the highest bonuses applied across the entire fleet.
