Line 73:

* '''Once only''' - set up a push-to-talk button for channel command in channel, and another for channel command TS-wide. This is done via the "Settings" -> "Key Settings" - push "Add", select your key (scroll lock is a good suggestion for one), and make the action "Whisper to", "Chan. Commander", "In own channel" (or "All" for the TS-wide option).

The difference between these two keys pertains to who will receive your command broadcast.

'own command channel' will only broadcast to the Channel Commanders in YOUR current channel.

'all command channels' will broadcast to ALL Channel Commanders Server wide.

You use the '''global command channel as long as you are the only fleet''' out (so Intel can listen in and advise).

With '''multiple fleets''' out not all fleet command communications can be broadcasted over global command. Use global command for '''strategic information''' (e.g. "global command, this is Sto Lo's fleet, we are now moving from Jita to Aldrat through Rancer lowsec" [but not "... we are jumping from Aldrat into Eygfe"] or "global command, this is Sto Lo's fleet, big pirate camp in Hagilur, 12 BS Amarr heavy, we need reinforcements" [but not "... flashy rifter 150 km up off the Evati gate"] and '''questions to Intel''' (e.g. "global command, NewbieCom1's fleet, Intel, we have two standard squads and the possibility to engage 12 flashy BS on the Evati gate. Any advise?"). Use your '''local command for tactical information''' regarding your fleet only (e.g. "local command, Sneaky1, I have a warpin on a flashy Drake at a safespot at 10"

When you talk on any command channel make sure to use the protocol: "Global/Local command", "Your name", ("recipient"), "Information". E.g.: "Global Command, Ubercado, primary is Veldspar".

* '''Each time you're fleeting up''' - when you enter the channel select "self" then "channel commander". Once you're done with the fleet remember to remove channel commander from yourself, or you'll be assumed to be a spai.
