Roles in Incursions: Difference between revisions

Line 316:

** Utilize the drag-and-drop feature for both fleet invites and for moving people into new position.

** Be sure to enable ''free-move'' so people can move themselves in and out of positions when needed.

* Make note of fits and ask for advice if you are not sure if the fit is adequate or not. See [[Fitting principles|fitting principles]] for guidance on tank and don't forget that you could easily ask the pilot what their resist profile is, their raw shield ~~hitpoints~~, their engagement range and so forth, if it's not obvious from the fit itself.

* Separate people who are ready and in system from those who are still making their way there (or simply ask them to X-up when they get there).

* Catch up in the incursions.e-uni channel and update the waiting list between sites, then post the updated waiting list to remind people you are still forming/active.

Line 322:

** You can also use the CTRL + Up/Down function in your chat-window (keeps the formatting, allows editing, but is somewhat unreliable/unpredictable).

** Make sure to let people know if it's a shield or armour fleet, what type of sites you're doing, if the fleet is forming or active etc.

** Keep track of whether or not ~~people have spare energy transfers and logistic drones, if they~~ are logistics IV or V, what logistics they can bring (or both) etc.

** Keep track of whether or not logistics pilots are logistics IV or V, what logistics they can bring (or both) etc.

** Make note of people with {{sk|Wing Command|II}} or better, to be put in the wing command position.

** A short waitlist has the benefit of not completely spamming out everything else in chat.

*** Useful shorthands: {{co|lime|+l}} (dd + any logi), {{co|lime|+s}} (dd + scimitar), {{co|lime|+b4/5}} (dd + basilisk, logistics 4 or 5) or just {{co|lime|l/s/b}} [b4-5] (any logi or scimitar/basilisk only), {{co|lime|T3/sc}} (strategic cruiser), {{co|lime|sn}} (sniper).

*** You can usually omit if someone is a battleship because unless they are either of the above mentioned ships or roles, it doesn't really matter.

*** Similarly the strategic cruiser mention is only relevant for assaults if you do the [[Nation Consolidation Network]] site, so skip this too if you're running vanguards for example.

** A short '''SFWL''' (shield fleet waitlist) abbreviation works for a shield fleet doing vanguards, since that's what we do most of the time.

** A short '''SFWL''' (shield fleet waitlist) abbreviation or just calling it '''Vanguards''' works for a shield fleet doing vanguards, since that's what we do most of the time.

* When drops are announced ahead of time, get the replacement(s) ready.

* Remember that you can invite people from local (where they should be, ready to go, if they are on the waitlist) even though they haven't spoken up recently in ''incursions.e-uni''.

** System the fleet is running in.

** Name of the on-demand channel on Mumble.

** Who the booster(s), picket(s) and scout is, as well as a reminder to tip them.

** ''Optional:'' Who the anchor is.

** While there are other important things to know about a fleet, who the logistics are, who the dronebunny is and so forth, these things aren't best promoted in the MOTD. Logistics 'L' up each site and you can have your dronebunny 'DDD' up every site instead, as that would be a constant reminder not only who the dronebunny is, but also to actually launch your drones and assign them.
