The Class Component Block

The class component is intended to provide a way for teachers and class creators to compartmentalize the information they wish to present so that it can be broken down into smaller, more concise blocks. These blocks can then be assembled to form a complete class with the relevant links, definitions, images, and other aides and resources already prepared. Alternately, each block can be presented as a short five to twenty-minute block of standalone instruction covering a single concept or strategy. As such, class components can be presented as 'beginner' classes for core concepts to Newbros and Alpha clones.

The class component block should contain the following information, at a minimum:

  • A concise and descriptive title which covers the topic area
  • A short definition or descriptive paragraph which conveys the necessary understanding
  • A short script which new teachers can read to explain the concept in an abrdiged manner, but without going into detail.
  • A link to the associated Wiki article so that keen students can read the extra detail
  • A linkable image or slide which demonstrates the core concept or idea
  • A list of links to other helpful images and resources (e.g. YouTube video)

Ideally linkable resources should also be saved to an in-game notepad file or email, so that the formatted links can be shared to Lecture.E-UNI by the teacher (or an assisting senior Unista). This way, the individual slides and things such as in-game items can be quickly referenced.

You may wish to quickly read these two articles on Wiki Formatting, as it will help you to understand what's happening in the code block:

Class Component Template

The class component template which follows is setup as a skeleton of code which you can select and use when adding new class component blocks for your classes. The code which appears can be updated and added to as needed; if you need help with this just contact Jurius Doctor in-game or via Slack.

An example of the template at work follows this code block, for reference, and is based on "Making and Using Instant Undocks."

Note: You can leave the pre-defined <!-- Comment Fields --> in the code, as this is not displayed in the final wiki.

Making and using an Instant Undock

An instant undock is a bookmark outside the visible range (grid) of a station or citadel, which does not require you to change alignment when exiting the station to warp to it.

Script

((Reading time 1 min, Speaking time 2 min))

Station exit trajectory is based on the station's orientation, not yours - your exit trajectory can vary by ±2%

The station instant-undock relies on a mechanic known as the limited invulnerability timer, a period of 10 seconds after exiting a station during which you are invulnerable, cannot be bumped, and are effectively out of phase with other ships - allowing you to pass through them. However, if you do anything other than stop your ship the invulnerability immediately ends; which means if you have to re-align you become a target So, the goal is to have a bookmark directly ahead of you which allows you to warp away, at full speed, during the ten seconds allotted by the invulnerability timer.

Making an instant undock is relatively easy, provided the system you're in is presently safe. When you undock, you exit the station at full speed mostly aligned (±2%) with the station's absolute undock vector; the direction it faces. To create a station instant undock warpout bookmark you get in as fast a ship as you can fit, align yourself perfectly off that station's exit - or as close as you can get - and you burn in that direction at high speed until you're out of the station grid (~8,000 km). Keep in mind, for some (notably Amarr) stations, the exit vector is directly downwards. Once you're off the local grid, just drop a bookmark by holding Control and pressing 'B'. (Ctrl+B) This is your warpout bookmark.

Note: Using the tactical overlay makes it much easier to determine where absolute zero off the undock is. The goal is to get as close to zero deviation as possible. It's important to practice using the bookmark once you've created it, and the best test of the instant undock is if you can do it successfully in a slow-aligning industrial vessel or a mining barge.
