The Newbro-Speech

This should basically act as an aid to memory when guiding new pilots through their first incursion-moments as the FC. Most of it can be found on the Incursions checklist. I will probably mention that site a few more times.

Always

• Answer questions. When someone asks questions it means he is willing and eager to learn. Those pilots are the most valuable ones.

Before he joins the fleet

Make sure that:

• He has a proper fit. This is what the WLM should be doing with all fits anyway. Nothing for you to worry about, unless you don't trust your WLM. In which case the fleet is doomed anyway. Useful links: Fitting principles, Vanguard Incursion fits
• He has the CSPA charge set to 0. This can more or less be ignroed. As the FC you are usually not the one inviting people to the fleet, so you won't even notice if the CSAP charge is not set to 0. Leave this stuff to the WLM. Besides, setting the CSPA charge is a part of the application process for Unistas, since virtually all new pilots are Unistas this should never be an issue.
  • If he doesn't know what to do: [1]

Before he starts shooting his first Sanshas

Make sure that:

• He is on Mumble and in the right channel. You can't run in an incursion fleet if you are unable to hear the FC's commands. Setting up Mumble is part of the joining process for Unistas, so this shouldn't be an issue (as long as you let the pilot know what channel to join).
  • If he doesn't know what to do: link Mumble. This may take a while.
• He has gone through the Incursions checklist. Offer to answer any questions he may have about the content of that site.
  • If he hasn't: It's not optimal, but you're going through the content of the checklist anyway. Things may take a bit longer to set up. It just shows a lack of attitude that he didn't bother reading the links in the MOTD of the incursions.e-uni channel, the welcome mail of the mailing list (at least I guess that the checklist is linked there) and the recon mail.

Short version of the checkilst:

• Safeties green
  • green, yellow or red dot on the top-left of your HUD
  • As the risk of shooting each other is extremely small the following has not that many applications but is still very important: With green safeties you are still allowed to shoot your corp mates in high sec. This will give you (and whoever you shot/whoever shot you) a capsuleer log off timer, which in turn means that during wartime logi who are not in the Uni can not rep you without setting their safeties to yellow and going suspect. Whenever you see a capsuleer log off timer on your screen (somewhere in the top-left corner, red exclamation mark with a red circle around) let the FC know immedeately!!! Not being able to get reps will get you killed!!!
• Set up a watchlist
  • Right-click on squad commander -> Add Squad Members to Watchlist, then manually drag the Wing Commander to the watch list
  • Put the logis (named in MOTD/pilots who L up before taking a site/pilots who fly scimitars) on the top of the watch list
• Know how to broadcast and when to braodcast
  • How: click on the small shield icon on the bottom of the fleet window for shield, the person/dot with a circle around it for in position
    • Make sure there are four arrows showing in all directions on the bottom-right corner of the fleet window. If not, click on the arrow that is there until the 4 arrows appear
    • There are no icons: click on the double arrows on the bottom-right corner of the fleet window
    • How to improve this: set shortcuts (Esc -> Shortcuts -> Navigation)
  • When: Broadcast for shield the moment you get yellow-boxed (the red crosses now have a yellow box around them = they target you). After getting yellow-boxed you will get red-boxed (= the yellow box turnes red, the rats are now aggressing you). When they stop aggressing you the red box will turn back to yellow, that is the moment you should broadcast 'in position'.
  • Note: Not broadcasting will not get you killed in Vanguards as the logis have locked you up and can see themselves when you are taking damage. However, that is not the case in HQs and Assaults. In HQs you will die if you don't broadcast in time, unless you have really amazing logis with you who can find the one ship out of forty who the Sansha are shooting before it's too late.
• Shield alarms to 90-99%
  • 4 lines on the bottom-right of HUD, between the velocity and modules -> Configure Damage Alert Settings
• Auto-target back to 0
  • Esc -> General Settings > mid column, In flight
• Drones set to passive and focus fire
  • Click the 4 lines in the top-left corner of your drone window
• Know how to assign drones
  • Launch drones, right-click on drones in space -> Assist -> select dronebunny (named in MOTD, guy who writes ddd in fleet chat)
