Stay alert to easily-confused words. The [[Ares]] and the [[Eris]], for instance, sound very similar in many accents: an FC needs to know about both ships, but they present different tactical problems. It helps to say "An Ares, interceptor" or "An Eris, bubbler". | Stay alert to easily-confused words.

In larger fleets, in EVE Uni or elsewhere, there will probably be multiple nested voice channels, so be careful about your use of whisper/shout keys. In larger fleets with many moving parts and multiple scouts, a private conversation channel shared between scouts, or shared between scouts and FC, can be an excellent halfway house space, where info which is valuable but not immediately pressing can be linked or typed. | |||
In such fleets communication must become more formalised. | |||
Different groups have different protocols but one formalised way to report information on comms is to name the sub-channel to which you're talking, then name yourself, then deliver your information: 'Command [=name of sub-channel], Uryence [=name of speaker], UM- thirty-six in local, Caracal gang with logi sitting on MHC gate, d-scan linked in intel chat [=information].' | |||
