*Know the optimal range of your launchers, and what range you need to warp in at. Also remember that at your optimal, it may take up to 10-12 seconds for the first volley to hit the target. It is not uncommon to have up to 3 volleys in space before the first shot lands. | |||

Your goal isn't to be the first thing they see, but the last. | *Do your best to travel just behind/in-front of the fleet (sort of a -1 or -0.5).

*After landing at the battle grid, double click in space in a direction perpendicular to the direction you approached from before realigning. This will keep fleetmates who show up a few moments after you from decloaking you if they come in on the same line. | *After landing at the battle grid, double click in space in a direction perpendicular to the direction you approached from before realigning.
