== Preface ==

There are many ~~things~~ that a capsuleer must ~~know~~ as a ship pilot~~. However~~, ~~one~~ of the most important things to learn ~~is something~~ that ~~most~~ pilots do ~~unconsciously;~~ steering a ship, warping between systems and locations, and orbiting ~~a target~~. ~~Such a simple task~~ may seem simple and pointless~~...~~but ~~just~~ a ~~simple task~~ can be the ~~only thing saving you from~~ life or death~~...a successful tackle or not~~. Mastering this class will enable ~~the~~ capsuleer to get the most out of ~~their~~ ships.

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.

== Class Information ==

This ~~syllabi~~ contains the standard information of this class pertaining to ship movement, ship warping, bookmarks, tactical and fleet warping, and adjusting to combat conditions. Additional information relevant to the teacher is listed under '''Notes for the Teacher'''.

Describe the general purpose and objectives of the class, and the intended audience.

*'''Duration:''' 1 to 2 hours [and an additional 1 to 2 hours for the optional practical exercise.

*'''Duration:''' 2 to 3 hours [and an additional 1 to 2 hours for the optional practical exercise.

*'''Location:''' Docked up safely in a station ~~[in Aldrat]. Practical, meet outside the Pator Tech School in Aldrat~~.

'''Student requirements:'''

Line 35:

Line 43:

* '''DANGER:''' Due to friendly fire rules, if a student is not part of the uni, anything practical segment that would require aggressing a target must be handled very carefully!

* 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 battleship with ~~a three~~ smartbombs; one large, one medium, one small. This smartbomb should be set to single cycle. This is for practicing orbiting a smartbomb-equipped ship.

* Prepare a battleship with four smartbombs; one faction large, one large, one medium, one small. This smartbomb should be set to single cycle. This is for practicing orbiting a smartbomb-equipped ship.

* Prepare two Orcas if possible, for a demonstration of webifying techniques for warping. One ship should be fit with a 100mn Microwarpdrive I, set for a single cycle. If Orcas are not available, two Freighters will suffice.

* Set up a grid of 6 bookmarks with at least 150km distance from each other, to describe tactical warping.

Line 83:

* Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.

* Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.]

* You should be docked up safely in a station in Aldrat if you intend to participate in the practical exercise. If not, please make your way here so you can participate.

Everyone ready? OK, then - let's begin....

Line 271:

Line 278:

* Explain how a pilot's ship should never stop, and why they shouldn't stop.

* Explain how to, if a target is behind them, to safely do two or three manual turns to avoid receiving a lucky shot.

* This 12-minute video from Agony Unleashed is a great intro for basic PvP maneuvering, especially spiral approaches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT8VqVcLDqc
