Line 181:

Don't use AB or MWD while camping a gate, nor when aligning. Use AB and MWD to approach targets, or to get away from them if they have smartbombs. Use MWD while orbiting a target only if you're cap stable with it activated. Using AB should be fine while orbiting a target, but it depends a lot on your skills and the ship you're flying.

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. 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 ~~squads~~ 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 judgement, and consider tackling something else instead.
