This section will use the 20 anchored containers for the practical excercise. | ||
==== Basic Ship Movement ==== | |||
Theory: | |||
* Explain how movement works, via overview or by double-clicking. | |||
* Explain how a ship's mass, propulsion modules, maximum speed, inertia and other factors adjusts a ship's ability to maneuver. | |||
* Explain how to look up a ship's mass and speed statistics. | |||
Practical: | |||
* Have each student do a "Show Info" on their ship to look up their mass, speed, and inertia attribues, and to look up mass on armor modules and such. | |||

==== | This section explains the theories on warping, how a pilot can initiate warp faster, how one can save himself after losing their ship, and how one can use warping tactically. This section will require the use of disposable shuttles, and the use of a series of bookmarks which are all 150km away from each other. | ||
==== Warping - How it works ==== | |||
Theory: | |||
* Explain how warping works, and how ships can warp at different speeds. | |||
* Explain what an Astronautical Unit is. (150,000,000 KM) | |||
* Explain how to look up a ship's warp speed statistic. | |||
* Explain how fleeted ships match the slowest ship's speed while at warp. | |||
* Explain align times and what modules assist in such. | |||
* Explain how ships enter warp at 75% speed, and the lines shown on the throttle control. | |||
Practical: | |||
* Have each student warp to a predetermined destination. | |||
* Have each student do a "Show Info" on their ship to look up their warp speed attribute. | |||
* Have all ships join a fleet, and have each student align to a specific destination, and have them set their ships to move at 75% throttle manually. | |||

This section explains the basics of stargate navigation; how far one must be to jump, how far one appears on the other side, and tricks to get through a gate quicker. This section will require the use of a Stargate for the practical excercise. | |||
