State of the Fleet 2017Q2 Report

July 24, 2017

The BFA is pleased to announce that our Report for the Second Quarter of 2017 is complete. This report covers events in the fleet from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 and summarizes changes that have occurred in the Fleet, ranging from task force story updates and departmental information to changes in our rules and procedures, as well as feedback from our Community Survey.

Here is a brief overview of the report:

The second quarter of 2017 saw continued growth and additional changes for Bravo Fleet.

Following the governance changes implemented in the first quarter, Bravo Fleet settled into its new structure while fine-tuning governance and the Bravo Fleet Management System (BFMS). In addition, the new Discord channel proved widely popular among the community.

The amount of sims available to our community increased by 13%. Additionally, Fleet chat usage increased to 154 participants (43% increase), and over 430 characters have now been added to BFMS (23% increase).

Several negative trends have continued, primarily the community’s dissatisfaction with the forums, Hall of Honours, and Academy. To quantify these concerns, Bravo Fleet sent out a survey to the Fleet membership to determine which areas to invest in most heavily moving forward. 48 members of the Fleet responded to the survey, and its results have guided and will continue to guide the Bravo Fleet Admiralty’s decision making.

On the whole, the Bravo Fleet Admiralty is pleased with the progress made this quarter, and a forward outlook section at the end of this document details plans for the upcoming quarter to address several areas of continued concern.
