Wartime Operations in EVE University: Difference between revisions

Line 221:

* Configure your overview according to the Uni standard by reading the [[Overview_Setup|Overview Guide]]. This is a must. Keep in mind you can create custom Overview settings for your own use but you will need to have the current standard Uni settings ready to use.

* ~~'''DO NOT''' encourage~~ new ~~members to join~~ fleets ~~until they have read and understand all of the following~~. ~~Please do not answer simple questions such as "how~~ to ~~X up", instead refer people~~ to ~~the relevant links on the wiki~~ to ~~make sure~~ they ~~actually read them properly instead of simply jumping~~ into ~~a fleet five minutes after they join Uni~~. ~~Obviously assisting with clarification~~ if they ~~do not understand something is fine ;)~~

* Help new players learn how fleets work. You can talk to them in a side chat to introduce them to basic fleet concepts so they can get into the fun as quickly as possible. Remind them of the Ship Replacement Program if/when they die.

* Read [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]].

** If you wish to form a fleet, also read [[Fleet Formation and Intel]] and [[How to properly form a fleet]].

** FCs, WCs, and SCs should read the [[Fleet Checklist]] and [[Fleet Leadership]] - you do NOT need in-game leadership skills to perform these roles. You will however need a microphone and be willing to use it.

** Keep questions and chatter out of the Alliance channel. Questions should be made in ~~Mess.ILN~~ or ~~Command.ILN~~. Chatter and questions in Alliance just slow down fleet formation and just make things frustrating.

** Keep questions and chatter out of the Alliance channel. Questions should be made in fleet chat or mumble. Chatter and questions in Alliance just slow down fleet formation and just make things frustrating.

** Do not talk about fleet locations (or your own, for that matter) outside of your fleet channel. Yes, that does mean you cannot tell a fleet where you are until you have joined it or the FC has convoed you.

** Do not ask "are there any fleets running" - if they are, they should not be communicating with you. Wait for a new one to be called in Alliance.

** Do not ask "are there any fleets running" - if they are, they should not be communicating with you. Wait for a new one to be called in Alliance. Check the in-game fleet interface to look for adverts.

** Many fleets will use a fleet advert. These will show up as a link in Alliance and all you need do is click on that link and you'll be invited in (unless the fleet is closed or full).

** If you "X up" in Alliance and are not given a fleet invite, make a polite reminder. If you are still not invited please just wait for the next fleet or consider taking out your own. Many fleets may have restricted space, or it may simply be a new FC who missed your request in the multitude. Also note that FCs are under no obligation to take everyone that X's up. Missing a fleet is not the end of the world. Simply wait for the next, or start your own. Do not get upset or take it personally.

** Some rare fleets will be invite-only. These require you to "X up" in alliance chat. If you "X up" in Alliance and are not given a fleet invite, make a polite reminder.

===Fleet Formation===

* '''Anyone may form a fleet during wartime.''' EVE University ~~and the ILN make~~ no restrictions on who may initiate or lead a fleet.

* '''Anyone may form a fleet during wartime.''' EVE University makes no restrictions on who may initiate or lead a fleet.

* Fleets once formed should avoid being listed in Fleet Finder must not have any Open Fleet Invites as this draws the attention of enemy intelligence. Any wartime fleet adverts should not include information in their names that give away information.

* Fleets must be held in fleet op rooms or in specific (ideally password protected) On Demand channels in Mumble that restrict access to members of the Ivy League Alliance. Keep in mind that our Mumble servers are very open to the rest of the EVE Online community.

Line 245:

Don't worry if you went out and lost your ship, or if leading, wiped your fleet. This is okay. Learn from it and have fun. Flaming or raging at fleet members or FCs for mistakes will not be tolerated. Failure to repeatedly follow an FC or their delegate's commands will also not be tolerated. This is why it's so important that you have prepared yourself as per the above. This is the Uni and we want to exercise patience with everyone.
