There are many | There are many skills that a capsuleer must learn as a ship pilot, but some of the most important things to learn are things that beginning pilots do almost subconsciously: steering a ship, warping between systems and locations, and orbiting targets. These basic tasks may seem simple and pointless, but are often the very things that separate a successful or unsuccessful tackle, and can mean the difference between life or death. Mastering the material covered in this class will enable each capsuleer to get the most out of his or her ships. | ||

* Prepare a chain of 20 anchored containers set up at different headings to make a navigation course of sorts; each container should be labeled "Nav 1", "Nav 2", and so on, and should all be about 20km apart from the preceeding container. This is for a maneuvering excercise, and the names are important as the students are supposed to scramble these. The name of the pilot and the name of the can will appear on the Log with a timestamp to track times. | * Prepare a chain of 20 anchored containers set up at different headings to make a navigation course of sorts; each container should be labeled "Nav 1", "Nav 2", and so on, and should all be about 20km apart from the preceeding container.
