| == Choosing which constellation to go to ==
| |
| {{note box|This is a collective effort and anyone can and should send out a new focus mail when we need to move. If you are unsure whether we should move or not, discuss it with the people online before sending a mail because sending a mail is the same thing as committing the community to a new focus.}}
| |
| Sometimes we have several Incursions active at the same time and we have to choose which one to go to. Here are a few things to consider:
| |
|
| |
| * How easy is it to '''picket'''?
| |
| * Favour going to systems close to '''Slays''' (close to ''"home"'' or a ''"campus"'').
| |
| * Constellations within '''Amarr regions'''.
| |
| * {{co|crimson|Proximity to [[Trade Hubs|major trade hubs]] like '''Jita''' and '''Amarr'''.}}
| |
|
| |
| When given the choice we should strive to go to Incursions close to home. This allows new people to come fly with us, who normally might be put off by the 30+ jump trek. It also puts us near reinforcements. People who know how to PvP would also be much closer to their stockpile of PvP-ships if they needed to reship to deal with war targets.
| |
|
| |
| Since Amarr hold sovereignty in the majority of high security space, odds are higher that Incursions spawn in Amarr space than anywhere else. So if you have the choice between between two fairly similar constellations, it makes sense to pick the one closer to the main Amarr region. This usually means we won't have to move too far the next time we move.
| |
|
| |
| If we can avoid the major trade hubs, that's a plus too, as those constellations get a lot more attention from gankers and griefers. Major trade hubs are also favourite hunting grounds for many so called ''"high security warriors"'' corporations and alliances that declare war on us. This is more of an issue during war than it is during peace, as the threat from gankers and griefers is minimal unless you're flying very expensively fitted ships (far beyond what most fly in our community). There are a few pros to being near a trade hub, it gives people a cheap and quick resupply point and most other communities prefer these systems, however the safety of a fleet is far more important.
| |
|
| |
| Of course, sometimes we don't have a choice and will be forced to pick a less than ideal system. But try to keep these things in mind when you decide where to go.
| |
|
| |
| == Finding an ideal staging system ==
| |
| The actual staging system of a constellation isn't necessarily the best system to stage out of, in fact it usually isn't. When you look for a good staging system there are a few things to consider.
| |
|
| |
| * Easy to [[Roles in Incursions#Picket|Picket]] during wars.
| |
| * Availability of '''repair facilities'''.
| |
| * Being a '''convenient location'''.
| |
|
| |
| So for a really good staging system, try finding a system that has the type of sites you want to run, has a station with repair facilities and has jump gates leading directly to the other systems of interest.
| |
|
| |
| == Updating the mailing list ==
| |
| Whenever we move to a new constellation, someone has to send out a recon mail to the ''Incursions.E-UNI'' mailing list. This is done so that people know where to go when they log in or when they feel like doing incursions after having done something else.
| |
|
| |
| And as the note says in the beginning of this second, this is a communal effort, it's not something only a select few will do. Just make sure you take the time to make a proper mail with the right information. Below is a standard form that anyone can use, just copy+paste the raw text into your recon mail and replace the [Blocked] off sections with the proper information. Keep in mind that in the case of systems and stations you can drag the picture from your show info window into the mail to create a link that other people can use.
