The Rookie's Guide to Fleet Ops: Difference between revisions

Line 183:

*If the FC did not give any specific instructions for who tacklers should point, then pick a target that has a character name that starts with the same letter as your own character name, or as close to possible in the alphabet. This will usually insure that the fleet's points are spread relatively evenly among our enemies. Sorting the overview by character name can help in the target selection if it is done this way. Sometimes the FC will give specific orders, for example: "Squad 1 tacklers should point the primary, Squad 2 tacklers should point the secondary, all other tacklers should pick targets at random." If you are trying to point a random target and you notice he is too far away or too fast to catch, use your best judgment, and consider tackling something else instead.

*Unless you have just jumped through a gate and are holding cloak, you should ALWAYS be moving. If you are holding at a gate then you should be in an Offensive Gate Camp (OGC), if you are around a planet or somewhere else then you should be orbiting one of the larger (BC/BS) ships outside of smart bomb range. This can be anywhere between 7.5km to 30km.

*Unless you have just jumped through a gate and are holding cloak or are waiting for orders at a POS, you should ALWAYS be moving.

This can be anywhere between 7.5km to 30km.

*When in doubt ask your squad leader!
