=== Pre-flight check & assistance ===
* Pre-flight check & assistance
** Double-check fits when new players join to ensure nobody brings the wrong setup. Use our [[homefront operation]] wiki to doublecheck on EWAR, damage types & weaknesses.
** Encourage experienced pilots to assist the FC (e.g., finding new HF sites). Ask openly if anyone wants to support with navigation.

* Assessing Player Experience
* Encourage experienced pilots to assist the FC (e.g., finding new HF sites). Ask openly if anyone wants to support with navigation.
** Ask if players have flown '''Homefronts''' or '''Raids''' before. This helps gauge how much detail you need to cover. Some may still need to learn very basic concepts like:
*** Navigating and using the overview correctly
*** Finding acceleration gates
*** Avoiding autopilot


=== Assessing Player Experience ===
* Communication
** Strongly encourage everyone to join comms — many ship losses happen due to poor communication.

* Ship & Role Guidance
** Navigating and using the overview correctly
** First-time fleet members should generally fly easy roles like the '''DPS Caracals for raid fleets.'''
** Finding acceleration gates
** Maintain a clear fleet hierarchy and manage squads effectively.
** Avoiding autopilot
*** Track who is in which role
*** Track who is in the queue


=== Communication ===
* Fleet Management & MOTD
** Use a clear '''MOTD''' to save time and reduce repeat questions.


* Strongly encourage everyone to join comms — many ship losses happen due to poor communication.
* Setting Boundaries
** Define limits for yourself: e.g., “I’ll run X amount of sites” or “I’ll run for 2 hours.”
** Communicate this clearly to your fleet members.
** If you’re ending soon, stop accepting people into the queue unless there’s another FC ready to take over.


=== Ship & Role Guidance ===
* Fleet ettiquette
** New players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with our homefront etiquette. Doing so not only prevents wasting others’ time—such as dropping a fleet without prior notice—but also enhances our corporation’s reputation with outsiders who encounter one of our homefront fleets.

=== Fleet ettiquette ===
it's advised that new players are introduced to our homefront ettiquette. Not only does it minimize wasting people's time when dropping a fleet without any notice it also boost our corporation image to outsiders who take an Unista on one of their homefront fleets.
