Having a solid understanding of the terminology and lingo used in fleet operations is key to clear, concise and effective communications.  This page explains the common terms a pilot will hear over Team Speak from the fleet's commanders.  It will also list short cuts you may see your squad commander type in your squad's chat channel.

* '''Primary''' -- This is the target the FC wants the fleet to focus on.  Generally, this means that tacklers and damage dealers focus on this target. As a rule of thumb, EW usually ignores the primary target and goes for the most dangerous targets or remote reppers. Obviously this doesn't apply if you're target painting.

* '''Scatter''' -- If you hear this, select your Pod Saver tab on your overview and warp away to a random planet.  Continue to warp around the system until told to do something else, like go to a gate and leave the system, or the FC tells you to warp back to him.  If you scatter, don't warp back to the FC to see what's going on unless you were told to.  Keep moving. Stay alive. Don't get into fights. Let your aggression timer expire so you can leave the system if necessary.

* '''Warp yourselves at optimal''' -- Warp yourself to the target at the optimal range for your ship's "primary role."  If you are ewar and have guns, but your primary role is ewar, warp at the optimal range of your ewar equipment.
