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

Line 130:

If the FC sets a destination, make sure you have the same autopilot setting. If he doesnt specify, ask in fleet chat if autopilot setting should be 'shorter', 'safer', or 'less secure'. You can change Autopilot setting by pressing F10 to access the map, Autopilot tab, Settings tab.

Don't attack unless the FC gives the order. If you attack when you shouldn't, you could get stuck on the wrong side of a gate if the FC decides he'd rather have the fleet elsewhere. The Primary is the target you should be shooting ~~and/or tackling~~. The Secondary is usually next in line to get blown up.

Sometimes the FC will give order to attack any flashy at will. During war he may order you to shoot WT flashies, but not Outlaw flashies. Pay attention to icons if so.

If your ship is destroyed, remember the Pod Saver tab in the overview, pick a planet at random, and ~~mash~~ the warp button. Once you're warped out, let the squad commander know you've lost your ship. If you have been podded, let him know as well.

If your ship is destroyed, remember the Pod Saver tab in the overview, pick a planet at random, and spam the warp button. Once you're warped out, let the squad commander know you've lost your ship. If you have been podded, let him know as well.

If you get lost, ask your squad commander where to go. If you need to take a quick break due to real life, let your squad commander know, and dock up at the nearest station. The fleet wont stop for you, and if it is possible, your squad commander will instruct you on how to rejoin the fleet, or perhaps he will ask that you plot a course for home and run for it, depending on the circumstances.
