== New Players Guide to Level 4 Mission Fleets (DRAFT) ==

~~The Level 4 Mission Community is run by a group of Eve University members who serve as mission fleet commanders~~ who, with mission ~~runners~~, ~~fly scheduled, new player-friendly fleets~~. ~~During these fleets, fleet members pull Level 4 (L4) missions and run them together, sharing~~ the mission ~~rewards and bounties. Because there is strength in numbers, these fleets can complete missions rather quickly while providing an excellent opportunity~~ for ~~new players to run missions that they typically could not yet run~~.

For players who enjoy PVE missions, flying with a mission fleet can do much to augment the experience, both financially and socially. This guide presents the basics of flying with a mission fleet for the first time.

~~''Note: For this article~~, "fleet ~~commander" will be used to describe the person~~ who ~~is leading~~ the ~~PVE~~ mission ~~fleet~~ and ~~issuing fleet commands~~. ~~Fleet commander~~ in ~~any other EVE University context refers~~ to ~~players who from experience~~, ~~training~~, and ~~temperament know how to command PVP fleets, a different and substantially more difficult endeavor~~.

=== EVE University Mission Community ===

One place that EVE University members can experience missioning on a fleet is with the Level 4 Mission Community, a group of Eve University members who serve as mission fleet commanders who, with mission runners, fly scheduled, new player-friendly fleets. During these fleets, fleet members pull Level 4 (L4) missions from mission agents and complete them together, sharing the mission rewards and bounties. Because there is strength in numbers, these fleets can complete missions rather quickly while providing an excellent opportunity for new players to run missions that they typically could not yet run while earning ISK, agent/corporation/faction standing, and loyalty points.

=== Why Run L4 Missions with a Fleet? ===

* Earn ISK from bounties and mission rewards as well as loyalty points with NPC corporations.

* Learn some basic fleet operations in a low pressure environment. As L4 missions do not involve PVP, the fleet movements are more casually paced.

* Have fun with ~~Unistas~~ of all experience ranges. This is the best part of mission running. It may sound corny, but in EVE, the best ship is friendship.

* Have fun with other players of all experience ranges. This is the best part of mission running. It may sound corny, but in EVE, the best ship is friendship.

=== Getting Started in L4 Mission Fleets ===

For those lacking a suitable ship, there are basic ships and fittings available to EVE University members allowing ~~you~~ to follow along ~~and get the~~ rewards~~, loyalty points, and best of all,~~ the camaraderie and fun of blowing stuff up ~~with your fellow Unistas~~.

For those lacking a suitable ship, there are basic ships and fittings available to loan to EVE University members allowing them to follow along getting rewards while enjoying the camaraderie and fun of blowing stuff up together.

==== You Need a Ship ====

~~Part of the proceeds of the L4 Mission Fleet~~ are ~~used to outfit~~ suitable ships with low skill requirements that are perfect for new players to get their feet wet in L4 fleets. ~~The ship in question,~~ the [[Gnosis]], is a [[battlecruiser]], yet only requires the training of the very basic [[Skills:Spaceship_Command#Spaceship_Command|Spaceship Command I]] skill. There are a number of fits that can be used to best match with your current skills, such as a heavy missile fit or a cannon fit. With the amount of DPS that will be on grid, you don’t have to worry if your damage output is currently low. For more information, contact <somebody>.

=== Where, When, and Who ===

'''When:''' ~~Scheduled~~ fleets run every Friday at 18:00~~, every Saturday at 0900 (is this still true? I don't think I've seen a scheduled Saturday fleet recently),~~ and ~~every Sunday~~ at 16:00. Always check the forums and in-game calendar just in case there are additions or cancellations. There are also frequent unscheduled mission fleets on other days and times. ~~Checking~~ in ~~on HSC General is a~~ good ~~way~~ to find out if any ~~pick~~-up~~/unscheduled~~ mission fleets are running or forming.<br>

'''When:''' EVE Uni has scheduled fleets run every Friday at 18:00 and Sundays at 16:00. Always check the forums and in-game calendar just in case there are additions or cancellations. There are also frequent unscheduled mission fleets on other days and times. Being part of standing fleet as well as in-game chat are good ways to find out if any pop-up mission fleets are running or forming.<br>

'''Where:''' Form-up is in Amygnon at Hotel Sierra Charlie<br>

* If you need to go AFK, discuss this with the FC. AFK for a few minutes is one thing, but being AFK for a long time while mission rewards are being accrued is a violation of [[EVE University’s Code of Conduct]]. So, if real life needs have to take priority as they should, talk to the FC and let them know the situation. They will tell you what the proper action is. 

* If you anticipate leaving the mission fleet before it finishes, it is best to time your departure for when the fleet is turning in missions so that you get your share of any mission rewards. You have to be in fleet when missions are turned in to receive your share of the mission rewards.
