Scouting: Difference between revisions

Line 65:

If you really enjoy scouting and want to get good at it, the best way is to do it often. In addition, you will want to start doing the following.

Route Preparation: Find out what routes FCs like to take and spend some time setting up [[Bookmarks]] in those systems. You will want bookmarks on gates, instadocks and undocks on the top and bottom stations, a location about 1 AU off the sun, and some safes. At first, a mid-safe between two gates will be enough, but having a deep safe out of D-Scan range of pretty much everything in the system will be very useful when the fleet needs to extract itself from a fight gone wrong. Set up some bookmarks that let you observe gates, mission sites, and asteroid belts from a reasonably safe distance. If you really want to be prepared, you might fit out some scout ships and leave them in stations along the route in case you get to play the hero tackle and need to reship. The more of this sort of thing you do, the more your FCs will love you.

Ship Recognition: The more you know about the various ships in EVE, the better intel you will give to your FC.
