Fleet commanders and others may use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedure_word procedure words] (known as prowords) which are short words or phrases used in a standardised way to communicate a fuller meaning. Some prowords (''roger; over'') will be familiar from so-called real life: others (''jump, jump, jump; hold on contact'') will only be heard in Eve. Examples of both types are given below. Further examples of verbal (or written) commands can be found under [[Fleet Terminology]].

Further examples of verbal (or written) commands can be found under [[Fleet Terminology]]. Note that the prowords '''Over''' and '''Out''' should not normally be used in E-Uni fleets. They add little extra information and use up valuable airtime.

== Phonetics ==

=== Letters ===

In the case of unusual names (eg for systems or pilots) it may be necessary to spell out a word. The table below shows the internationally agreed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet phonetic alphabet] which may be useful. Words are spelled out letter by letter, so for example Eygfe is spelled out ''Echo, Yankee, Golf, Foxtrot, Echo'' (and not ''E-Echo, Y-Yankee, G-Golf'' etc...) If you are about to spell out a name, it may be helpful to use the proword '''I spell''' to warn people that phonetic alphabet is coming, thus: ''Warp to Eygfe, I spell: Echo, Yankee, Golf...''
