The Rookie's Guide to Fleet Ops: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

It is absolutely essential for you to be on Mumble for fleet operations. If you're not on Mumble, you cannot join or follow the fleet. The Fleet Commander (FC) does not have time to type everything out or issue broadcasts.  Assuming you have [[Mumble|set up your Mumble account]] correctly, you can log in and move yourself to the Combat Lounge (PvP Waiting) channel where many potential PvP pilots hang out and discuss fleets, etc.

Once you are in a fleet, move yourself to the appropriate wing channel in order to hear communications with your fleet. Stay silent until the operation is over and the Fleet Commander declares open mic. Small gangs are often less strict about voice comm discipline; however in large fleets it is impractical for everyone to have authorization to speak. Make sure your Mumble settings are set up correctly. This mostly means you have [[Mumble#~~Push-to-talk~~|a push-to-talk button (PTT) set]] and not voice-activated.  Also, make sure your push-to-talk button is not any button you would use for anything else - we don't want to have to hear you breathing, and we don't want to hear the clicking of your keyboard when you type an email either. Set your push-to-talk key correctly.

'''Disable Mumble sound notifications:''' In the Setting screen ''Configure Settings'' you can find ''Advanced settings'' check-box in the bottom left corner. With it checked you can access the Messages settings. From there you can disable popup and sound notifications about events you don't care about. Sound notifications can be loud and prevent you from hearing the FC, especially with a lot of people in Mumble connecting and disconnecting.

Line 70:

'''Do not go into a fleet operation channel unless you are in the fleet.''' If you go into fleet op channels without authorization, you will be unregistered and kicked from Mumble.

'''Do not join~~, or add fleet channel voice bindings to~~ the command channel in Mumble unless given authorization.''' This is a private Mumble channel which is only for people in command positions. Joining without authorization will result in being ~~unregistered and~~ kicked from Mumble.

'''Do not join the command channel in Mumble unless you are in a command position, or otherwise given authorization.''' This is a private Mumble channel which is only for people in command positions. Joining without authorization will result in being kicked from Mumble.
