| + | Tracking in EVE is measured by a turret attribute called '''Weapon Accuracy Score''' or '''WAS''' for short. It is an attribute that unifies the tracking value for all weapons, regardless the size of the weapons (larger weapons have a harder time hitting smaller targets). |

| − | We strive to teach in the moment while running, a sort of ''"learning by doing"'' approach, to create a fun and lucrative learning experience for our members. While running you'll learn some basic understanding of fleet operations, fleet compositions and tactics, logistics, electronic warfare, damage application, scouting and picketing to mention a few. You'll also learn the invaluable lesson of how much more efficient a fleet can be when working towards a common goal and how much more fun this game is when playing with others.

| + | |- |
| − | While we are here primarily for unistas our community is open to unistas, alumni and ex-unista alike, including their alts as long as they aren't at war and recognize that teaching comes first and that certain restrictions might be put in place, ensuring we conform with the EVE University Rules.

| − | Historically we owe a lot to alumni and friends of the university. They were instrumental in building up the community we have today, bringing much needed ships, high skills and lots of experience to our fleets. Alumni in particular spent countless hours helping us reach the point where we had several people capable of running incursions, improving the community and recruiting more people to come fly with us. Those who fly with us respect the university and what we try to do. We in turn respect what they bring to our community. As such they've continued to be valuable members of the community.

| − | == Community leaders ==
| |
| − | Since the community doesn't have a lot of services or anything else requiring actual managers, we have an '''Incursion Community Coordinator''' to help ensure that things run smoothly. If you have any concerns about the community or have an issue with any of its members, just contact the '''coordinator''' or one of the '''moderators''' listed below:

| |
| − | ==== Communication ====
| |
| − | We use the following EVE University services for communication:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The [[Mumble]] channel {{co|slateblue|Incursions.E-UNI}} under '''Special Projects & Events''' (need to be registered on the forum).
| |
| − | * Ingame chat channel {{co|slateblue|incursions.e-uni}} (need to be a current or ex-unista to access the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 channel password] thread).
| |
| − | * Ingame mailing list {{co|slateblue|Incursions.E-UNI}} (current unistas can join freely, ex-unistas and alts need to ask for permission).
| |
| − | * '''Incursion community''' [[Slack]] (see [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=242&t=85328 this post] for instructions on how to set it up).
| |
| − | * The [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=242 Incursions] section on the forum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Nomadic lifestyle ====
| |
| − | Incursions are nomadic in nature with a single focus lasting from anywhere between a day up to a week, but usually only for a few days, forcing the community to constantly move in order to continue taking part of the content. We use the '''mailing list''' to let people know where we are. See [[How_to_find_Incursions#Longevity|longevity]] for more information on how long an incursion usually lasts.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Since '''EVE University''' is often at war, this means that unistas need to take care while [[How_to_find_Incursions#Moving between Incursions|moving between incursions]] and we run with [[Roles in Incursions#Picket|pickets]] to ensure that war targets can't sneak up on us. See [[How_to_find_Incursions#Wartime_logistics|wartime logistics]] for more information on how to safely move your ship between focuses, or have a look in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=242&t=88728 Valet Alts: The Master List] forum post if you need help moving.

| | + | The old '''Tracking Speed''' attribute didn't used to take into consideration your '''Signature Resolution''', so a large weapon could have a similar tracking speed value of a smaller gun, making them seem, at first glance, to have equally good tracking. In short it was simply the tracking value in and by itself, not accounting for the size of the gun (its resolution) and how that would lower the practical tracking. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Forming fleets ==== | + | ==== Conversions ==== |
| − | Most fleets form on the fly using the ingame '''chat channel''' and by pinging '''Slack'''. When we have enough people to start running we'll continuously keep people up to date on the status of the fleet in the chat channel. Planned fleets are announced through the '''mailing list''' as well as '''Slack'''.

Weapon Accuracy Score
Tracking in EVE is measured by a turret attribute called Weapon Accuracy Score or WAS for short. It is an attribute that unifies the tracking value for all weapons, regardless the size of the weapons (larger weapons have a harder time hitting smaller targets).
Easy to compare relative tracking of weapons
Since tracking is uniformly calculated across different types and sizes, you can easily compare one gun to another. Here's an example:
Legacy tracking attributes
While all usable turrets ingame have been changed to present Weapon Accuracy Score, a lot of things like NPCs and drones still use the old legacy term Signature Resolution and Tracking Speed.
Signature Resolution
This is an old attribute that lists the relative signature of the target the weapon, drone or NPC is intended to be fired upon. This Signature Resolution is measured the same as the ship attribute Signature Radius:
| Signature
|
Intended target
|
Examples that use this resolution
|
 2 000 m
|
 Capital-class targets
|
NPC capitals (X-Large turrets [1])
|
| 400 m
|
 Battleship-class targets
|
Heavy drones, sentry drones, NPC battleships (large turrets [1])
|
| 125 m
|
 Cruiser-class targets
|
Medium drones, NPC cruisers (medium turrets [1])
|
| 40 m
|
 Frigate-class targets
|
Light drones, NPC frigates (small turrets [1])
|
- ^ a b c d This attribute no longer shows for weapons, if you look them up ingame or in the database. Instead it will show the 40,000m default signature that Weapon Accuracy Score uses.
Tracking Speed
The old Tracking Speed attribute didn't used to take into consideration your Signature Resolution, so a large weapon could have a similar tracking speed value of a smaller gun, making them seem, at first glance, to have equally good tracking. In short it was simply the tracking value in and by itself, not accounting for the size of the gun (its resolution) and how that would lower the practical tracking.
Conversions
If you want to see how well drones or NPCs track, compared to your own weapons, you can reverse-engineer the value like this:
| Weapon Accuracy Score = Tracking Speed * 40000 / Signature Resolution |
Similarly you can find out the old tracking value from a weapon accuracy score like this:
| Tracking Speed = Weapon Accuracy Score / 40000 * Signature Resolution |
