* Always know your fleet composition (engagement range, emergency energy transfers and maintenance drones, boosts, etc.) so you can make educated decisions.

* Know your enemy (differences between the NPCs, what they can do, what danger they pose).

* Some ships are easier to hit than others (signature, resists, speed and prefered orbit). Tamas for example as much easier to hit than Schmaeels, Renyns and Eysturs. Romis, while having higher resists, are easier to hit than the close orbiting Augas, but at the same time the Augas come closer and if sufficiently webbed can be taken down much faster.

= Unpaid roles and manual payouts to offgrid roles =

Several roles like '''scouting''', '''hacking''' and '''picketing''' are excluded from the ingame payout mechanics, so they will not automatically get paid as you're running sites. As such, we manually pay these roles '''500k ISK per site''' for the service they provide because without them we wouldn't be flying if they are not being ~~filled by an alt/~~dual boxed by a ongrid pilot. It should be noted that it is typically customary to give these roles to newer EVE University players and then those on the waitlist rather than have a ongrid player dual box them in order to maximize the opportunities for participation as that is focus of our community rather than ISK per hour returns.

Practically this means that whenever you or any of the people filling offgrid roles leave the fleet, check your wallet (shortcut is {{button|Alt}} + {{button|W}} to open the wallet) and count the number of site payments you've received. It's easiest to pay out all the offgrid roles whenever one leaves or joins, so that you don't miss paying someone and to make it easier (as you'll pay everyone for the same amount of sites since last you paid out or joined the fleet).
