| |
| − | | |
| − | A basic guide for rookie logistic ship pilots.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Logistic ships in Eve Online are designed to remotely repair friendly ships. They can be used both in PvE and PvP fleets. They require a fair amount of training and thus are usually out of reach for most young combat pilots who will focus more on damage dealing ships in their early careers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each of the four empire factions have their own logistic ship. The Amarr have the Guardian, the Caldari have the Basilisk, the Gallente have the Oneiros, and the Minmatar have the Scimitar. The Basilisk and Scimitar have a shield transfer bonus, while the Guardian and Oneiros have an armor transfer bonus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These ships are based on T1 cruiser hulls: the Augoror (Amarr; hit point and cap transfer bonus), the Osprey (caldari; mining and shield transfer bonus), Exequror (Gallente; cargo and armor transfer bonus), and Scythe (Minmatar; mining and tracking link bonus). This article will only discuss the proper T2 Logistics, not the T1 base hulls.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Two of the Logistic ships, the Guardian and Basilisk, have an energy transfer range and cap bonus in addition to their remote armor/shield bonus. They are most often used with four remote armor/shield modules and two energy transfer modules. A cap chain between pilots is set up to insure that all pilots give and receive cap in the chain to sustain their cap indefinitely even with all reps running.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other two Logistics ships, the Oneiros and Scimitar, have a tracking link range and efficiency bonus in addition to their remote armor/shield bonus. Although many fittings skip the tracking links in mids for ECCM, cap modules, and/or shield tank.

| − | <br>
| |
| − | While featuring Carthum's trademark armor and hull strength, the Guardian, being a support ship, has limited room for armaments. Its intended main function is to serve as an all-round support vessel, providing the raw energy for fleet compatriots to do what they need to do in order to achieve victory.

| |
| − | Deciding that added defensive capabilities would serve to strengthen the overall effectiveness of Gallente ships, who traditionally have favored pure firepower over other aspects, Roden Shipyards came up with the Oneiros. Intrigued, Gallente Navy officials are reportedly considering incorporating this powerful defender into their fleet formations.

| − | |info=Built with special tracking support arrays, the Scimitar was designed in large part to assist heavy combat vessels in tracking fast-moving targets. Relatively nimble for a support cruiser, it can often be found ducking between battleships, protecting its own back while lending the behemoths the support they need to take out their enemies.
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Core Complexions ships are unusual in that they favor electronics and defense over the "Lots of guns" approach traditionally favored by the Minmatar. Being a support cruiser, the Scimitar therefore fits ideally into their design scheme.

| − | ==Logi Channel==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you've joined a fleet, ask for the logi channel. The logi channel is used to give information to logi pilots they may require. Not all fleets will use a logi channel. They're more common for PvP fleets that use guardians or basilisks, and for incursion fleets that have more than three logistic ships.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hopefully the logi channel has a Logistic Coordinator that will tell all logi pilots what they need to know. Some fleets will not have a designated logi coordinator. In this case, hopefully one of the experienced logi pilots will step up to guide the rookies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The logi channel can be used for the following information:
| |
| − | * Who is the logi anchor (if different than the rest of the fleet's anchor), and orbit range.
| |
| − | * Who should be on the watch list.
| |
| − | * Provide warp-ins for logi pilots that have just joined fleet, or missed warps, etc.
| |
| − | * How the cap chain should be set up.
| |
| − | * Where you should be aligned (prop mod on or off, full speed or 3/4 speed).
| |
| − | * Current orders. Sometimes the logis should follow different orders from the rest of the fleet.
| |
| − | * Catch the attention of logi pilots not doing what they should be doing. Linking their name by drag-and-drop from the channel list can help. If they still don't respond, do the same in the fleet channel and remind them to read logi chat.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The cap chain helps keep Guardians and Basilisks cap stable. Pilots with sufficient skills will generate cap in the chain, since the energy transfer modules will require less cap to activate than it will transfer to the target.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you are in an Oneiros or Scimitar, you should not be depending on cap transfers. These ships are usually set up to be cap stable on their own at the cost of less repping power, or sometimes using cap boosters to maintain more reps for a limited amount of time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you are in a Guardian or Basilisk, you should be cap stable when receiving two cap transfers if you have the skill Logistics 4, and one cap transfer of you have Logistics 5. Each logi pilot should transfer cap to two other logi pilots, even if those who receive cap have logi 5. This insures redundancy in combat situations where the cap chain is often broken when ships are neuted, ECM jammed, or destroyed. Some fleets that have all logi pilots with Logistics 5 and veteran logi pilots that are good at multitasking will only transfer to one other logi pilot in the chain and will take cap requests during combat.

Overview
It is important to have a blue logi overview tab set up properly, especially if you use the overview to sort the cap chain instead of the logi channel. A blue fleet tab can also be helpful.
These instructions assume you have overview presets done according to the Overview Guide. If you did not set up your overview according to the UniWiki guide, just pick an overview preset you usually use for travel and PvP to base the Blue overview presets.
Blue Fleet
- Rename one of your tabs Blue Fleet
- Load up the 2 - PvP Travel preset in that tab.
- Open Overview Settings, go to Filters > States
- Every item in the list MUST be checked EXCEPT the following four:
- Pilot (agent) is interactable
- Pilot has neutral standing
- Pilot has bad standing
- Pilot has terrible standing
- Go to Filters > Types
- Go to the Drones section, right click the Drones header and click deselect all.
- Save the preset as 9A - Blue Fleet
If you do not set up your blue overview states correctly, you might not see some blue pilots on your overview, which can be extremely problematic in many circumstances.
Blue Logi
- Rename one of your tabs Blue Logi
- Load up the 9A - Blue Fleet preset in that tab.
- Open Overview Settings, go to Filters > Types
- Go to the Ship section, right click the ship header and click deselect all.
- Open the Ship section, check the Logistics item in the list.
- Save the preset as 9B - Blue Logi
This Blue Logi overview preset will show all blue logistic ships on grid, not just those in your fleet. It is not possible to set up an overview preset that would only shows fleeted logi pilots. However this only shows T2 logi, not T1.
Blue Caps
- Rename one of your tabs Blue Caps
- Load up the 9A - Blue Fleet preset in that tab.
- Open Overview Settings, go to Filters > Types
- Go to the Ship section, right click the ship header and click deselect all.
- Open the Ship section, check the following items in the list:
- Capital Industrial Ships
- Carrier
- Dreadnought
- Jump Freighter
- Supercarrier
- Titan
- Save the preset as 9C - Blue Caps
Cap Direction
There are several ways of establishing cap transfers between logistics. The two most popular are: One Up One Down; and Two Down. Sometimes cap transfers are arranged in pairs or triples, but these tend to be less robust than full cap chains in large fleet engagements.
When using the One Up One Down method, you should transfer cap to the person above and below you in the cap chain, in alphabetical order. When using the Two Down method, you should look for the two pilots below you -- in alphabetical order -- and transfer cap to both with one cap transfer module on each. The cap chain should wrap around back to the top once it reaches the bottom of the logi channel or overview list.
You should keep an eye on your watch list and overview or logi channel member list and be ready to change cap transfer targets if necessary.
The cap chain is often broken by inattentive pilots. It is important to regularly check your distance from the anchor and other logi pilots, look for any new additions to the cap chain and for pilots leaving permanently or being disconnected temporarily, and to keep an eye on the logi channel for instructions. The cap chain is vital for the survival of the fleet. Careless pilots who cannot pay enough attention to maintain it when there is no fighting are a liability to your fleet if enemies decide to engage.
Sorting Method
The sorting method can either be done through the blue logi overview, or through the logi channel list.
If the logi channel list is used, the only people in that channel should only be currently active logi pilots on grid flying Guardians or Basilisks. And the pilots should make sure to leave channel if their ship is destroyed or if they are no longer with the rest of the fleet for any reason.
If the overview is used to order the cap chain, you should sort the Blue Logi overview by name. You should look for the two pilots that you are meant to cap according to the cap direction rule, and activate one cap transfer module on each. You must skip over Scimitars and Oneiros, you should never give cap to these ships in normal circumstances. Pay attention to ship type in the overview when setting up your cap chain list.
If you use the overview to determine sorting order, the logi channel may include non-cap transferring logi, sometimes the FC and other commanders, pilots that have had their ships destroyed, pilots that are off grid, pilots that are in another system, etc. This can help to use the logi channel to coordinate between all logi pilots and commanders.
Cap Transfer Protocol
If you are in a Guardian, you should not include Basilisks in the cap chain unless both logi types are in the same fleet and sharing the same logi channel. And Vice Versa.
The cap chain should be up and active at all times except when inside a POS shield or when the fleet is making best speed to a destination system. Even when simply aligning after jumping through a stargate, the logi pilots should establish the cap chain after uncloaking. It is best to be prepared, and to check that all cap transferring logi pilots understand who they should be transferring to.
Anchor
The Anchor is the ship you should be orbiting. You default orbit distance should be between 5 and 15 km in PvP fleets. Scimitars and Oneiros will sometimes not have an anchor and just try to keep at range from the hostiles while staying in rep range of each other and their fleetmates. In Incursion fleets, the orbit is often less than 5 km to prevent rats from orbiting too far from the damage dealers if they aggress the logi.
At 5 km orbit distance you may not have your full speed while orbiting with an AB. 10 km orbit is a common distance that will let you orbit at full speed. If your orbit distance is too far you may have a low angular velocity against the enemy fleet for a prolonged time, or you could be out of range of some broadcast requests if a fleet spreads out to chase an enemy or deblob to avoid bombing runs, or you could bump into a hostile starbase shield during a pos siege if the anchor is too close.
If you fight on a stargate, the anchor could be set as the stargate with an orbit that stays within jump range. Logi ships that take too much damage and cannot get repped fast enough can jump through if they don't have aggression.
Broadcast
You should have your Fleet window open to the broadcast history tab at all times. You can control+click items in the broadcast history to lock them.
You should keep and eye on your own shield and armor and be ready to broadcast when required. Setting up need armor and need shield shortcuts can make this easier during combat.
Click the icon at the top left of the fleet window and select broadcast settings.
- Need Armor: If you are in a shield logi, you should have this unchecked.
- Need Capacitor: If you are in a scimitar or oneiros, you should have this unchecked.
- Need Shield: If you are in an armor logi, you should have this unchecked.
- Target: You should have this unchecked unless target broadcasts are being used to focus repping on a starbase.
You should ignore all capacitor requests unless the fleet is not engaging an enemy fleet nor attacking a hot POS. If cap requests have been authorized by the FC or logi coordinator, you should switch cap transfer to one down, and use the second cap transfer module to cap up ships that have broadcast for cap. The pilots broadcasting for cap should type CF (for Cap Full) in fleet chat to indicate they no longer need cap, or use the 'in position' broadcast, depending on how the fleet usually handles this. If a pilot fails to indicate full cap after 2 to 5 cycles (this will depend on the number of cap transferring logistic ships in the fleet), you should unlock him and move on to the next broadcast in queue.
Drone Selection
Logistic ships get a bonus to drone repping, so these drones are sometimes preferred. Some battles will happen outside of drone control range, and in many fights logistic pilots will be too busy with repping to manage offensive drones separately from reps. Logistic drones will not give aggression, contrary to EW and combat drones. Aggression will prevent jumping through a stargate or docking in a station for 1 minute.
- Armor Maintenance Bot: Guardians can hold five light armor maintenance bots, Oneiros can hold five medium armor mainenance bots.
- Shield Maintenance Bot: Scimitars can hold 4 medium shield maintenance bots and 1 light shield maintenance bot. Basilisks can hold 5 light shield maintenance bots.
- ECM Drone: Hornet EC-300 drones can be handy in some circumstances. Scimitars and Oneiros with their greater drone bay may wish to keep five light maintenance bots and four or five EC-300. Other types of EW drones are often considered much less useful.
- Warrior: Warriors are the light scout drones of choice for their speed and damage type which is good against T1 armor tankers and many T2 ships that have enhanced resists. These can be especially useful against light ships, such as interdictors and various tacklers, that come withing drone control range.
