This might be a dumb question, but what do you mean by "you need 5 players"? Do you mean, all standing in front of the fleet ambassador at once? Or a team of 5 friends? Or 5 invites? Thanks.

Same problem here.

• 5 Players
• All 11h and more playtime
• Two former Gold Players
• One active Gold Player (me, with many, many CP)

All on same map and instance. Error:

Actually, the F2P Matrix states 20 hours of play time... 11 hours doesn't meet this criteria...

I think its not only the Playtime but also the time between Account Creation and the Fleet Create try.

Thx! Cleared things up.

subscribe to this question , i have a team of 5 but i can't make a fleet. what is the problem ? must be all 5 in front of fleet ambassador ?

Each member of the team must have played for 20 hours, or made a Cyptic Store purchase, or hold a subscription (Gold). They can not already be a member of a fleet.

also all 5 people must be in the same instance. even if not in the same area of said instance.

I'm running into the same error as well; two Golds and three freebies, all with 20+ hours on the clock. Has anyone else heard anything? I'd submit a ticket, but well...

[Fleet] Error creating fleet: Newly created account can not send or receive fleet invites.

Same damn problem here.... Took ages to get 5 people only to be told I am a new player...

With 7 max level characters and multiple cpoint purchases, I am fully qualified to create a fleet (as per http://sto.perfectworld.com/about/fr...eatures-matrix)!

Really frackin annoying!!!
