Archive:Solitude QRF and Roams

This page's intent is to provide information on the the history of EVE University. The information on this page is no longer current.

Introduction

After the more or less Solitude exclusive war with SQUINGEL, we recognized that we lack a more or less general QRF Doctrine which represents our low amount of pilots. The idea of this is to create a doctrine which fits our specific needs with, if possible, already existing resources.

In general for everyone, if possible you should always have at least a BLAP Caracal in your Hangar, which makes it much faster to form up if needed.

Notes (sample, tbd):

• Assuming we have 5 pilots, the core should consist of 4 Caracals, 1 Keres
• Ships listed under Additional Fits should be added as needed with every additional pilot, for example a Scythe if we've 6 pilots, an Interceptor with 7, another Caracal with 8 and so on...
• to be continued

Many thanks to Yrgrasil for their work here.

Core Fits

Caracal

How to fly the Caracal:

• Focus on your navigation skills, a minimal trained BLAP character has a speed of 1568m/s, while an all V character runs with 1897m/s.
• Anchor up as soon as you can, no need to wait for the FC calling it.
• Stay in range of your anchor, if the anchor is >10km away turn on your propmod for one cycle, or heat if needed.
• Pre-heat your hardeners; turn them on when yellow boxed!
• Use comms, call if your clip is empty, call if you get tackled, call if you get red boxed etc.
• Train missile range skills and T2 missiles!

Cyclone

While most people think about Command Destroyers or Cruisers, the T1 Battlecruiser already provides decent boosts with average skills, and reduces the gap regarding navigation skills by a huge amount for unistas. The interdiction charges have such an incredible impact for most small gang engagements that it's normally the second choice before even thinking about shield (or info) links.

This fit should be flown if possible by pilots who have basically maxed out the navigation skills. While all IV is normally sufficient, if you have newbros who have only just skilled the BLAP minimum training, the average is often a bit above them...

Additional Fits

Vexor (DPS - Experimental)

How to fly the Vexor:

• Instead of anchoring, your goal is to stay behind the Caracals. While the Caracals will stay in 35-40km (through the T1 BLAP Restrictions) you can easily stay in ~50-55km range.
• This fit is faster than the Caracals, but also much easier to kill. Stay at range, use heat on the mwd whenever it's necessary.
• Keep your ship prealigned whenever possible to any warp-out point, and warp out if necessary. The FC will/should call if you're not allowed to do this.
• While the Caracals shoot tackle, your job is to kill slower and tanky targets.
• Use comms, call if you get tackled, call if you get red boxed, call also your own tackle and broadcast them if asked for (probably get in contact with the FC in charge before it starts).
• It can make sense to abandon the drones to quickly switch to the Acolyte set (while bailing, to kill tackle), get comfortable with this option. There's a reason you have a mobile depot and spare drones.

Scythe (Logi)

How to fly the Scythe:

• You're not part of the anchor!
• When the fight starts, move as fast as possible behind the main fleet, a Scythe can work pretty well in 35-45km range -> mwd heat will often save your life. Use it.
• Have everyone on the watch list if possible, don't rely only on broadcasts.
• While it's important for small gangs that nobody dies, it's more important that you don't sacrifice yourself for someone else. Pre-align if possible, warp out on your own if needed.
• Use comms, call if you get tackled, call if you get red boxed. As logistics, you can also tell people to head back if you are tackled and isolated.
• In pairs: stay in range, but don't get too close to each other to prevent both getting tackled.
