== | ==Voice Comms== | ||
You must be on [[Discord]] voice comms for fleet operations. The FC does not have time to type everything out in chat so we use voice comms for that. You do not need to have a microphone for some fleet roles, but you must be able to listen. Almost all of out fleet comms are in English. Once you are in a fleet, make sure you are in the correct Discord voice comms channel for the fleet. | |||

* In small gangs (up to 15 pilots give or take) voice chat is often relatively open, and we enter "combat comms" state restricted to vital information only during combat itself. During combat comms, try to speak in the third person, and be precise: "I am being attacked" tells the gang almost nothing, but "An [[Atron]] has tackled Uryence at the Juliet Hotel gate in [[NSC|Papa Charlie Nine]], grid otherwise clear so far" tells the gang quite a lot. You don't have to be this collected if you're new, but it's something to aim for! | |||
* Fleets of any larger size almost always default to combat comms throughout, with line members remaining relatively silent so that the FC, scouts etc can pass vital information. If you're unsure, ask about this in fleet text chat channel. Even in fleets with restricted comms, it is usually fine to talk textually in fleet chat, and we do try to relax comms where we can | |||

* '''Wait until the FC calls your role before you x up.''' Do not spam your x-up repeatedly, as that only makes the assignments to squads more difficult for the commanders. If you were passed over, be patient. The FC should make a last call before leaving if there is time and space left in the fleet. You can then x up again. | * '''Wait until the FC calls your role before you x up.''' Do not spam your x-up repeatedly, as that only makes the assignments to squads more difficult for the commanders.
